I did not receive a Kona meeting summary

After a 1:1 meeting ends, Kona delivers a post-meeting summary to the manager and direct report. This article resolves the symptom where that summary never arrives.

Diagnose

Work through each check in order.

Check 1: Meeting platform delivery channel → How to check: Confirm whether your organization uses Zoom + Slack, Teams + Outlook, or Google Meet. → If Teams: Summaries are sent by email only — Teams chat is not supported. → If Zoom or Google Meet: Check both email inbox and Slack direct messages.

Check 2: Email spam or junk folder → How to check: Open your spam, junk, or filtered mail folder and search for "Kona" or "bot@15five.com". → If found: Move the message to your inbox and allowlist the sender. → If not found: Continue to Check 3.

Check 3: Slack notifications disabled or missing connection → How to check: In Slack, open Direct Messages and look for the Kona bot. Check that Slack notifications are enabled in your device and app settings. → If Kona DM is absent: Your Slack account may not be connected. Contact your 15Five admin to verify the Slack integration is active. → If Slack notifications are muted: Re-enable notifications for the Kona bot.

Check 4: Kona did not successfully join the meeting → How to check: Recall whether "Kona" appeared as a participant during the meeting. → If Kona was absent: No summary is generated when Kona does not join. See Kona did not join my meeting (linked below). → If Kona was present: Continue to Check 5.

Check 5: Meeting invitation setup → How to check: Open the calendar event and confirm bot@15five.com was included as an invitee and a video conferencing link (Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet) was present. → If either is missing: The meeting will not trigger a summary. Add both to future invites.

Fix

For email delivery issues

  1. Open your email spam or junk folder.
  2. Search for messages from bot@15five.com.
  3. Mark the message as not spam.
  4. Add bot@15five.com to your email allowlist or safe senders list.

For Slack delivery issues

  1. Open Slack and search for a direct message from Kona.
  2. Check that Slack notifications are turned on for direct messages.
  3. If the Kona bot does not appear, contact your 15Five admin.

For missing bot invite or conferencing link

  1. Open the calendar event for the meeting.
  2. Add bot@15five.com as an invitee.
  3. Confirm a Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet link is included.
  4. Save the event — Kona will join the rescheduled or next occurrence automatically.

What Resolution Looks Like

  • Email: A message from Kona containing meeting notes, action items, and (for managers) coaching tips appears in your inbox.
  • Slack: A direct message from the Kona bot appears with the same content.
  • Both arrive within minutes of the meeting ending.

If It Still Fails

Contact your company's 15Five admin or reach out to the 15Five Support Team. Provide the following:

  • Date and time of the meeting
  • Meeting platform used (Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet)
  • Whether Kona appeared as a participant during the meeting
  • Whether bot@15five.com was on the calendar invite
