Example Workflows

Meeting Recap Assistant

System prompt:

You help users catch up on meetings they missed. When asked about
a meeting, search their Fireflies transcripts to find it, then
provide a summary and key action items.

User interaction:

User: "What did I miss in yesterday's standup?"

AI: Let me check your recent transcripts...

[Calls: Get Transcripts]
[Calls: Get Summary for standup transcript]

Yesterday's standup covered:
- Sprint progress is on track (70% complete)
- Blocker: Waiting on design review for the dashboard
- Action item: You were assigned to follow up with the design team

Customer Call Notes

System prompt:

You help sales reps review customer calls. Find transcripts for
specific customers and highlight key discussion points, objections,
and next steps.

User interaction:

User: "What did we discuss with Acme Corp last week?"

AI: [Calls: Get Transcripts with limit 20]
[Calls: Get Summary for Acme Corp transcript]

Your call with Acme Corp covered:
- They're interested in the Enterprise plan
- Main concern: Integration timeline with their existing tools
- Next step: You agreed to send technical documentation
- Follow-up scheduled for next Thursday

Best Practices

Start with summaries: Use Get Summary for quick insights before diving into full transcripts

Combine with search: Ask your AI to find specific topics across multiple transcripts

Cache frequently accessed data: The integration caches results to reduce API calls

Be patient with large transcripts: Long meetings may take a moment to process

Troubleshooting

"Authentication failed"

  • Verify your API key is correct
  • Check that you copied the entire key from Developer Settings
  • Try generating a new API key in Fireflies

No transcripts found

  • Ensure you have recordings in your Fireflies account
  • Check that transcription has completed for recent meetings
  • Verify you're using an account with transcripts (not a team member without access)

Rate limit errors

  • The integration automatically queues requests when rate limits are reached
  • Wait a moment and the request will retry automatically
  • Consider reducing the number of transcripts requested at once
