Fireflies.ai Reference Architecture
Overview
Production architecture for meeting intelligence using Fireflies.ai. Event-driven pipeline: meetings are recorded by the Fireflies bot, transcripts arrive via webhook, then are processed for action items, analytics, and CRM sync.

Core Components
1. GraphQL Client Layer
// lib/fireflies.ts
const FIREFLIES_API = "https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql";
export async function firefliesQuery(query: string, variables?: any) {
const res = await fetch(FIREFLIES_API, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.FIREFLIES_API_KEY}`,
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query, variables }),
});
const json = await res.json();
if (json.errors) throw new Error(json.errors[0].message);
return json.data;
}
2. Webhook Processor
// services/webhook-processor.ts
import crypto from "crypto";
interface TranscriptEvent {
meetingId: string;
eventType: string;
clientReferenceId?: string;
}
export async function processWebhookEvent(event: TranscriptEvent) {
// Fetch full transcript
const { transcript } = await firefliesQuery(`
query($id: String!) {
transcript(id: $id) {
id title date duration
organizer_email
speakers { id name }
sentences {
speaker_name text start_time end_time
ai_filters { task question sentiment }
}
summary { overview action_items keywords topics_discussed }
meeting_attendees { displayName email }
analytics {
sentiments { positive_pct negative_pct neutral_pct }
speakers { name duration word_count questions words_per_minute }
}
}
}
`, { id: event.meetingId });
// Process in parallel
await Promise.all([
storeTranscript(transcript),
syncActionItems(transcript),
updateAnalytics(transcript),
]);
return transcript;
}
3. Transcript Storage
// services/transcript-store.ts
interface StoredMeeting {
firefliesId: string;
title: string;
date: string;
duration: number;
speakers: string[];
overview: string;
actionItems: string[];
keywords: string[];
sentiment: { positive: number; negative: number; neutral: number };
}
async function storeTranscript(transcript: any): Promise<StoredMeeting> {
const meeting: StoredMeeting = {
firefliesId: transcript.id,
title: transcript.title,
date: transcript.date,
duration: transcript.duration,
speakers: transcript.speakers.map((s: any) => s.name),
overview: transcript.summary?.overview || "",
actionItems: transcript.summary?.action_items || [],
keywords: transcript.summary?.keywords || [],
sentiment: {
positive: transcript.analytics?.sentiments?.positive_pct || 0,
negative: transcript.analytics?.sentiments?.negative_pct || 0,
neutral: transcript.analytics?.sentiments?.neutral_pct || 0,
},
};
// Store in your database
await db.meetings.upsert({ where: { firefliesId: meeting.firefliesId }, data: meeting });
return meeting;
}
4. Action Item Sync
// services/action-items.ts
async function syncActionItems(transcript: any) {
const items = transcript.summary?.action_items || [];
if (items.length === 0) return;
const attendees = transcript.meeting_attendees?.map((a: any) => a.email) || [];
for (const item of items) {
await taskManager.create({
title: item.slice(0, 200),
source: `Fireflies: ${transcript.title}`,
meetingId: transcript.id,
meetingDate: transcript.date,
participants: attendees,
});
}
console.log(`Synced ${items.length} action items from "${transcript.title}"`);
}
5. Meeting Analytics
// services/analytics.ts
async function buildWeeklyReport() {
const since = new Date(Date.now() - 7 * 86400000).toISOString();
const data = await firefliesQuery(`
query($fromDate: DateTime) {
transcripts(fromDate: $fromDate, limit: 100) {
id title date duration
participants
summary { action_items keywords }
analytics {
speakers { name duration word_count }
sentiments { positive_pct }
}
}
}
`, { fromDate: since });
const meetings = data.transcripts;
return {
totalMeetings: meetings.length,
totalHours: (meetings.reduce((s: number, m: any) => s + m.duration, 0) / 60).toFixed(1),
actionItems: meetings.reduce((s: number, m: any) => s + (m.summary?.action_items?.length || 0), 0),
topKeywords: aggregateKeywords(meetings).slice(0, 10),
avgSentiment: avgSentiment(meetings),
};
}
function aggregateKeywords(meetings: any[]): [string, number][] {
const counts: Record<string, number> = {};
for (const m of meetings) {
for (const kw of m.summary?.keywords || []) {
counts[kw] = (counts[kw] || 0) + 1;
}
}
return Object.entries(counts).sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1]);
}
6. Audio Upload Pipeline
// services/upload.ts
async function uploadRecording(fileUrl: string, title: string, attendees?: any[]) {
return firefliesQuery(`
mutation($input: AudioUploadInput) {
uploadAudio(input: $input) {
success
title
message
}
}
`, {
input: {
url: fileUrl,
title,
attendees: attendees?.map(a => ({ displayName: a.name, email: a.email })),
webhook: process.env.WEBHOOK_URL,
client_reference_id: `upload-${Date.now()}`,
},
});
}

Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Missing transcript | meetingId invalid |
Log and skip, alert on repeated failures |
| Empty summary | Meeting too short | Check duration > 1 min before processing |
| Duplicate webhook | Network retry | Use meetingId as idempotency key |
| Rate limit on batch | Many transcripts at once | Queue with PQueue (1 req/sec) |
Output
- Event-driven architecture with webhook-triggered processing
- Transcript storage with search-ready schema
- Action item extraction and CRM sync pipeline
- Meeting analytics aggregation engine
