Workflow name

AI-powered Meeting Summaries and Action Items to Slack and ClickUp

How it Works

  1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts when Fireflies notifies that a transcription has finished.
  2. Transcript Retrieval: The transcript is pulled from Fireflies based on the meeting ID.
  3. Pre-processing: The transcript is split into sentences and then aggregated into a raw text block.
  4. AI Summarization: The aggregated transcript is sent to Google Gemini, which generates a short summary and a structured list of action items.
  5. Post-processing: The AI response is cleaned and formatted into JSON. Action items are mapped to titles and descriptions.
  6. Distribution:
    • The meeting summary is posted to Slack.
    • Action items are created as tasks in ClickUp.

Use Case

This workflow is designed for teams that want to reduce the manual effort of writing meeting notes and extracting action items.

  • Automatically generate a clear and concise meeting summary
  • Share the summary instantly with your team on Slack
  • Ensure action items are not lost by automatically creating tasks in ClickUp
  • Ideal for distributed teams, project managers, and product teams managing recurring meetings

Requirements

  • n8n instance set up and running
  • Fireflies.ai account with API access to meeting transcripts
  • Google Gemini API (via PaLM credentials) for AI-powered summarization
  • Slack account with OAuth2 credentials connected in n8n
  • ClickUp account with OAuth2 credentials connected in n8n

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
