Auto-Route New Fireflies Meeting transcripts to Airtable

Every new Fireflies meeting transcript is automatically classified and routed — n8n has Airtable create a new record in Airtable, so the right person sees it without a manual handoff.

difficulty Beginnersetup 30 minresult A hands-off n8n workflow where every relevant Fireflies meeting transcript automatically reaches Airtable — create a new record in Airtable.
  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 Airtable

    Add an Airtable node set to operation Create. Connect your token, pick the Base and Table, and map fields from the Set node.

  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 Airtable. 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 Airtable 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.
