AI-Summarize Every Fireflies Meeting transcript and Send to Email

An AI step reads each new Fireflies meeting transcript, writes a short summary, and n8n has Email send a notification email — so your team gets the gist without reading the whole thing.

difficulty Intermediatesetup 20 minresult A hands-off n8n workflow where every relevant Fireflies meeting transcript automatically reaches Email — send a notification email.
  1. 1

    Fetch Fireflies data

    Add an HTTP Request node (or the native Fireflies node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Fireflies API. Poll Fireflies for new meeting transcripts. Add a Schedule Trigger before it if this recipe runs on a timer, or a Webhook node if Fireflies can push events directly.

  2. 2

    Shape the data with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g. id, title (or name), status, and updated_at from the Fireflies meeting transcript. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable.

  3. 3

    Send it to Email

    Add a Gmail node set to operation Send. Connect your Google account and set To, Subject and Message from the Set-node fields.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right corner. Trigger a real meeting transcript in Fireflies (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Email. Once verified, this runs hands-off.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code anything?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop builder. You connect your Fireflies and Email accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.

Where do I get my Fireflies API credentials?

In your Fireflies account settings, look for "API", "Developers" or "Integrations" and generate an API key or token. Paste it into n8n's HTTP Request node (as a header or credential) or the native Fireflies node if one is available.

Can this run on a schedule instead of in real time?

Yes — swap the trigger for a `Schedule Trigger` set to whatever interval fits (every 15 minutes, hourly, daily). The rest of the workflow stays the same.
