Auto-share: Send Every Session to Your Tools Automatically
Set it up once and every finished Wave lands in your inbox, Notion, Google Docs, OneNote, or Evernote on its own.
Auto-share is Wave's delivery hub. Turn on a destination once and every session that finishes processing posts itself there — your email, Notion, Google Docs, OneNote, or Evernote — with no tapping on your part.
Where to set it up
Go to Settings → Sharing → Auto-share. Everything lives on one screen: an Email section, an Integrations section with the four tools, and an Options section for the transcript setting.
The Wave desktop app has no auto-share screen of its own, but that doesn't matter — auto-share is an account setting. Once it's on, it applies to every session no matter which device recorded it.
Auto-send completed sessions (just Email on the web) emails you the summary — and the transcript, if you've left that option on — at the address on your Wave account.
Email auto-send is on by default. The toggle shows as off until you touch it, but Wave's server treats "never set" as on. If you've never opened this screen and you're getting session emails, that's why. Flip the toggle on and back off to stop them for good.
To send to a different address, change your account email or add an alternative email. For one-off sends and the full email format, see emailing your Wave summaries.
The four tool destinations
Each of these creates a real document in the tool, not just a link back to Wave:
| Destination | What each session becomes |
|---|---|
| Notion | A new page under the parent page Wave picked when you connected |
| Google Docs | A new Google Doc in your Drive |
| OneNote | A new page in your default export location |
| Evernote | A new note in your default Evernote notebook |
A tool has to be connected before you can switch it on. On the mobile Auto-share screen, an unconnected tool shows Connect Notion to enable → (or the matching tool name) instead of a switch; on the web its switch is greyed out with a Connect Notion link beside it. Either one takes you straight to that tool's connect page:
In the Wave mobile app, each tool's own page under Settings → Integrations also carries the same switch once the tool is connected — Auto-share to Notion, Auto-share to Google Docs, and so on. Flip it in either place; the two stay in sync.
Include transcript
Include transcript on mobile — Include the transcript on the web — is one switch that applies to every auto-shared destination at once: email, Notion, Docs, OneNote, and Evernote. On (the default), each destination gets the title, summary, action items, and full transcript. Off, they get everything but the transcript. On mobile, the Include transcript switch in a session's Share sheet is the same setting, so changing it there changes it here too.
When auto-share fires
Wave dispatches as soon as a session finishes processing and its summary exists. Every enabled destination fires independently, so a broken Notion connection can't stop your email from arriving.
Dispatch is tied to the processing run, not to the session forever. If a session gets reprocessed later, auto-share runs again and you'll get a second copy in each destination. Continuing a recording doesn't send a second copy.
When a connection breaks
If a token expires or gets revoked, Wave leaves the auto-share switch on — it's what you asked for, and it should resume on its own. Wave emails you a reminder to reconnect (at most once a week per tool). For Google Docs and OneNote, it also sends a push notification (at most once every three days); tapping it opens that tool's settings page. Reconnect under Settings → Integrations and the next session flows through with nothing to re-toggle.
Disconnecting a tool yourself is different: on mobile and the web app, disconnecting an integration also switches its auto-share off, so Wave stops firing at a destination you deliberately dropped.
Manual sharing still works
Auto-share doesn't replace one-off exports. Any session's Share sheet still offers PDF, DOCX, a public link, email, and every integration on demand under Send a copy — see sharing and exporting your Wave sessions.
FAQ
That tool isn't connected yet. Tap Connect … to enable → (mobile) or the Connect … link (web), finish the connection, then come back and switch it on.
No. Auto-share is stored on your account, so setting it on your phone covers sessions you record on the web, on desktop, and on your watch too.
The session was processed twice — usually because it was reprocessed after an edit or a fix. Auto-share fires once per processing run, so a second run means a second delivery.
Not today. Auto-share is all-or-nothing per destination. For selective delivery, leave auto-share off and export the sessions you want from the share menu.
