πŸ€πŸ–ŠοΈπŸ€– This workflow automates the process of retrieving meeting transcripts from Fireflies.ai, extracting and summarizing relevant content using Google Gemini, and sending or drafting well-formatted summaries and emails via Gmail.

Fireflies is an AI-powered meeting assistant that automatically records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings. It integrates with popular video conferencing tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, helping teams capture key insights and action items without manual note-taking.

This workflow automates meeting recap generation, from email detection to AI-powered summarization and delivery.


Key Benefits

  • πŸ’‘ Automated Insight Extraction: Uses AI (OpenAI & Gemini) to extract and summarize key insights from meetings automatically.
  • πŸ“© Instant Client Communication: Generates ready-to-send meeting summaries and drafts without human intervention.
  • πŸ“₯ Email Monitoring: Listens to Gmail for specific meeting recap messages and reacts accordingly.
  • πŸ”— Seamless Fireflies Integration: Dynamically pulls transcript data
  • 🧠 Dual AI Models: Combines the strengths of OpenAI and Gemini for rich, contextual summaries in multiple formats.
  • πŸ›  Modular Design: Easily customizable and extensible for adding more destinations (e.g., Slack, Notion, CRM).
  • πŸ§‘β€πŸ’Ό Ideal for Teams & Consultants: Great for sales teams, project managers, or consultants who handle multiple client meetings daily.

How It Works

  1. Trigger:

    • The workflow starts with a Gmail Trigger node that monitors incoming emails with the subject "Your meeting recap". It checks for new emails every hour.
    • Alternatively, it can be manually triggered using the "When clicking β€˜Execute workflow’" node for testing.
    • Alternatively, via Webhook.
  2. Email Processing:

    • The "Get a message" node fetches the full email content.
    • The "Set Meeting link" node extracts the meeting link from the email.
    • The "Information Extractor" (powered by OpenAI) processes the email text to identify the meeting URL.
  3. Transcript Retrieval:

    • A Code node parses the meeting ID from the URL.
    • The "Get a transcript" node (Fireflies.ai integration) fetches the full meeting transcript using the extracted meeting ID.
  4. Transcript Processing:

    • The "Set sentences" and "Set summary" nodes extract structured data (sentences, short summary, overview) from the transcript.
    • The "Full transcript" node combines all transcript segments into a readable format.
  5. AI Summarization & Email Generation:

    • Google Gemini models analyze and summarize the transcript in Italian ("Expert Meeting transcripts") and generate a client-friendly recap ("Meeting summary expert").
    • The "Email writer" node combines summaries into a cohesive email draft.
    • The Markdown to HTML nodes format the content for email readability.
  6. Output:

    • A "Draft email to client" node prepares the final recap.
    • Two Gmail nodes ("Send Full meeting summary" and "Send a message1") dispatch the summaries to the specified recipient.

Set Up Steps

  1. Configure Credentials:

    • Ensure the following credentials are set up in n8n:
      • Fireflies.ai API (for transcript retrieval).
      • Gmail OAuth2 (for email triggering/sending).
      • OpenAI API (for initial text extraction).
      • Google Gemini (PaLM) (for summarization).
  2. Adjust Nodes:

    • Update the "Gmail Trigger" node with the correct email filter (subject:Your meeting recap).
    • Replace YOUR_EMAIL in the Gmail Send nodes with the recipient’s address.
    • Verify the Code nodes (e.g., meeting ID extraction) match your URL structure.
  3. Deploy:

    • Activate the workflow.
    • Test using the Manual Trigger or wait for the Gmail trigger to execute automatically.
  4. Optional Customization:

    • Modify the Google Gemini prompts for different summary styles.
    • Adjust the email templates in the final Gmail nodes.

Automate Meeting Summaries from Fireflies Transcripts with Gemini & Gmail

This n8n workflow automates the process of generating concise meeting summaries from Fireflies.ai transcripts and sending them via Gmail. It's designed to streamline post-meeting follow-ups and ensure key takeaways are easily distributed.

What it does

This workflow simplifies your post-meeting routine by:

  1. Triggering on demand: Manually initiates the workflow when you click 'Execute workflow'.
  2. Preparing input data: Uses a "Sticky Note" to define the structure of the incoming data, which is then refined by the "Edit Fields (Set)" node.
  3. Extracting information: The "Information Extractor" node processes the raw meeting transcript to pull out structured data like the meeting title, date, attendees, and the full transcript content.
  4. Generating summary with AI: The "Google Gemini" node (or "OpenAI Chat Model" as an alternative) takes the extracted transcript and generates a concise summary, key decisions, and action items.
  5. Formatting the summary: The "Markdown" node formats the AI-generated summary into a readable markdown structure.
  6. Sending email: The "Gmail" node sends an email containing the formatted summary to specified recipients.
  7. Merging data: The "Merge" and "Aggregate" nodes handle data flow and consolidation, ensuring all necessary information is passed correctly between steps.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n instance: A running n8n instance.
  • Google Gemini or OpenAI API Key: Credentials for either Google Gemini or OpenAI Chat Model for AI-powered summarization.
  • Gmail Account: A configured Gmail credential in n8n to send emails.
  • Fireflies.ai Transcripts: This workflow assumes you have a method to get Fireflies.ai transcripts into the workflow (e.g., via a webhook or manual input, which would need to be added to the start of the workflow). The current setup uses a manual trigger and a "Sticky Note" to simulate input.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your Google Gemini or OpenAI Chat Model credentials.
    • Set up your Gmail credentials.
  3. Customize Input (if needed): The current workflow is triggered manually and uses a "Sticky Note" to provide example input data. For real-world use with Fireflies.ai, you would typically replace the "Manual Trigger" and "Sticky Note" with a "Webhook" node configured to receive data from Fireflies.ai, or a node that fetches transcripts from a storage location.
  4. Adjust AI Prompts: Review the configuration of the "Google Gemini" (or "OpenAI Chat Model") and "Information Extractor" nodes. You might want to fine-tune the prompts to get summaries tailored to your specific needs.
  5. Configure Gmail: Update the "Gmail" node with the desired recipient email addresses, subject line, and body content. You can dynamically insert data from previous nodes into the email.
  6. Activate the workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start automating your meeting summaries.
