Fireflies Release Notes

Live Transcript Support

The transcript schema now includes a new is_live field that indicates whether a meeting is currently live (active or paused). When querying a live meeting, the sentences field automatically returns real-time captions from the ongoing meeting instead of processed transcript data.

This enables building features such as:

• Displaying live captions during an active meeting
• Monitoring meeting progress in real time
• Building dashboards that show both live and completed meeting transcripts

New Fields:

• is_live on Transcript - Boolean indicating whether the meeting is currently live

Enhanced Behavior:

• sentences on Transcript - Now returns real-time captions for live meetings, and processed transcript data for completed meetings

Meeting Sharing API

The Fireflies API now supports programmatic meeting sharing. Share meetings with external or internal users via email, control access duration, view who has access, and revoke access all through the API.

New Mutations:

• shareMeeting - Share a meeting with up to 100 email recipients, with optional expiry (7, 14, or 30 days)
• revokeSharedMeetingAccess - Revoke a user’s access to a shared meeting by email

New Query Field:

• shared_with on Transcript - List all users a meeting is shared with, including email, name, and expiry details

All operations require meeting ownership or team admin privileges.

Channels API

The Fireflies API now includes support for querying channels. The new Channels query allows you to fetch all channels accessible to the user, including public channels and private channels where the user is a member.

New Queries:

• channels - Fetch all accessible channels
• channel - Fetch a single channel by ID

New Schemas:

• Channel - Channel details including id, title, is_private, created_at, updated_at, created_by, and members
• ChannelMember - Channel member details with user_id, email, and name

Channel access follows privacy rules: users can view all public channels and private channels they are members of. Super admins can view all channels within their team.

Authenticated Audio Downloads

The Upload Audio mutation now supports authenticated downloads for media files that require authentication. You can now upload audio/video files from private servers or protected storage using bearer token or HTTP basic authentication.

This feature adds a new download_auth field to the AudioUploadInput type, allowing you to specify authentication credentials that Fireflies will use when downloading your media file. This is particularly useful for:

• Files stored in private cloud storage (AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage)
• Media hosted on servers with HTTP Basic Auth protection
• API-protected resources requiring bearer tokens
• Internal company file servers

The implementation includes four new schema types:

• DownloadAuthInput - Main authentication configuration
• BearerTokenAuthInput - Bearer token configuration
• BasicAuthInput - Basic auth configuration
• DownloadAuthType - Authentication type enum

The feature maintains full backward compatibility - existing uploads without authentication continue to work as before.

Meeting Attendance Tracking

The Transcript schema now includes a new meeting_attendance field that provides detailed participant attendance information. This field returns an array of MeetingAttendance records showing when participants joined and left the meeting.

Each attendance record includes the participant’s name, join time (ISO 8601 format), and leave time (if they left during the meeting). This feature enables better meeting analytics and participation tracking by leveraging meeting events data.

The attendance data is available in both Transcript and Transcripts queries.
