Fireflies.ai Deploy Integration

Overview

Deploy applications that integrate with Fireflies.ai's meeting transcription service. Covers configuring the GraphQL API connection, deploying webhook receivers for transcript notifications, and managing API credentials across deployment platforms.

Prerequisites

• Fireflies.ai account with API access (Business or Enterprise plan)
• Fireflies API key stored in FIREFLIES_API_KEY environment variable
• Platform CLI installed (vercel, docker, or gcloud)
• GraphQL client for Fireflies API at api.fireflies.ai/graphql

Instructions

Step 1: Configure Secrets

# Vercel
vercel env add FIREFLIES_API_KEY production

# Docker
echo "FIREFLIES_API_KEY=your-key" >> .env.production

Step 2: GraphQL Client Setup

// lib/fireflies.ts
const FIREFLIES_API = "https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql";

export async function firefliesQuery(query: string, variables?: any) {
  const response = await fetch(FIREFLIES_API, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.FIREFLIES_API_KEY}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ query, variables }),
  });

  const result = await response.json();
  if (result.errors) throw new Error(result.errors[0].message);
  return result.data;
}

Step 3: Deploy Webhook Receiver

// api/webhooks/fireflies.ts
export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const { event_type, meeting_id, data } = await req.json();

  if (event_type === "Transcription completed") {
    const transcript = await firefliesQuery(`
      query { transcript(id: "${meeting_id}") {
        title duration speakers { name } summary { overview action_items }
      }}
    `);
    await processTranscript(transcript);
  }

  return Response.json({ received: true });
}

Step 4: Docker Deployment

FROM node:20-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
EXPOSE 3000  # 3000: 3 seconds in ms
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]

Step 5: Health Check

export async function GET() {
  try {
    await firefliesQuery("{ user { email } }");
    return Response.json({ status: "healthy", service: "fireflies" });
  } catch {
    return Response.json({ status: "unhealthy" }, { status: 503 });  # HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
  }
}

Error Handling

Examples

Register Webhook

set -euo pipefail
curl -X POST https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FIREFLIES_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "mutation { addWebhook(input: { url: \"https://api.yourapp.com/webhooks/fireflies\", events: [\"Transcription completed\"] }) { id } }"}'
