FAQ
Questions about Transcript Ready.
How does the Transcript Ready trigger work in Fireflies?
Fires when the transcript has finished processing (typically 5-15 minutes after meeting end). The high-value trigger for analysis workflows — summarise, extract action items, sync to CRM with the meeting context.
Is the Transcript Ready trigger real-time?
Yes. Transcript Ready uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Fireflies.
What data does Transcript Ready return?
The full event payload from Fireflies. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Transcript Ready so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Fireflies admin permissions to use Transcript Ready?
For most Fireflies accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Fireflies plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Fireflies's docs if the trigger fails to register.
