How do I retrieve an AssemblyAI transcript?

Short answer: You can get transcript in AssemblyAI by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the AssemblyAI Get Transcript action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Transcript.

What does the Get Transcript action do in AssemblyAI?

Returns the transcript by ID with the full text, word-level timestamps, speaker labels (if diarization was on), sentiment per utterance (if enabled), and the AI-generated summary. Poll until status=completed or pair with the transcript-ready webhook.

What inputs does Get Transcript require?

Required: Transcript ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if AssemblyAI returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Get Transcript support batch operations?

Yes. Run Get Transcript inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles AssemblyAI's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.

Action

LeMUR Task on Transcript

Runs an LLM task (summarise, Q&A, extract structured data) against one or more completed transcripts. Saves the chain of "fetch transcript → LLM call" by bundling both server-side. Useful for "summarise this call, extract action items as JSON" post-call workflows.
