Sessions: A Unified Research Unit
Tetra now uses Sessions as the standard term for all research recordings data — whether uploaded, manually scheduled, or automatically recorded.
Sessions replace the old “Interview” terminology
A session includes your recording, transcript, notes, snippets, and metadata fields
Sessions always belong to a project
Upcoming Sessions
The Upcoming Sessions page (under My Workspace) shows all sessions you’ve scheduled for recording — across all projects.
Includes sessions created through:
Auto-Recording Rules
Manual calendar selection
On-demand recording setup (by pasting a meeting link)
Each session has a badge to indicate how it was scheduled:
Auto-RecordedScheduledOn-Demand
You can also access the meeting link, view the destination project, or cancel upcoming recordings.
Auto-Recording Rules
Description:
Use Auto-Recording Rules to automatically schedule recordings based on criteria applied to your connected calendar.
First, connect Google or Outlook calendar
Then configure rules such as:
All your meetings
Internal or external meetings
Hosted by you
Meeting title contains certain keywords
You can also combine rules with an ANY or ALL rules.
Any meeting that matches these rules will be auto-recorded
A destination project is required (see next section)
Destination Projects & “My Sessions”
All recordings must now be assigned to a project.
You’ll choose a project when scheduling a recording or creating a rule
If no project is selected, you cannot select a recording or set auto-recording rules
“My Sessions” is a normal project — you can rename or repurpose it as needed
Project selection ensures your recordings are organized and easy to find
Completed Sessions
The Completed Sessions page (also under My Workspace) shows all finished recordings across any project you have access to.
Sessions appear here after the scheduled recording ends
You can view, tag, and follow up on each session
Filters by project, time, and source type may be available (depending on plan)
Badge Meanings
Each session in Upcoming or Completed views is labeled to show how it was scheduled:
Badge | Meaning |
| Scheduled automatically via your recording rules |
| Manually selected from your connected calendar |
| Manually created by entering a meeting link or using “Record Now” |
Best Practices
Tips to make the most of the new system:
Set clear naming conventions for projects when using auto-recording
Use predictable meeting titles to trigger recording rules
Rename “My Sessions” if you prefer a more descriptive default project name, or change the project destination.
