Trigger
The workflow starts with a Gmail Trigger that checks for new emails with the subject "Your meeting recap" from [email protected] every hour.
Email Processing
When a matching email is found, the workflow retrieves the full email content and extracts the meeting recap URL using an Information Extractor node powered by OpenAI GPT-4.1-mini.
Meeting ID Extraction
A Code Node extracts the meeting ID from the Fireflies URL (between :: and ?) for use in the next step.
Transcript Fetching
The meeting ID is sent to the Fireflies Node, which retrieves the full transcript and summary data (short summary, short overview, and full overview).
AI-Powered Email Generation
The meeting summary data is passed to a Google Gemini node, which generates a complete meeting summary email with a subject line and body in JSON format.
Data Formatting
The raw JSON output is parsed in a Code Node, and the email body is converted from Markdown to HTML using the Markdown Node.
Email Delivery
Finally, the email is sent via Gmail with the AI-generated subject and HTML body.
Configure Credentials
Adjust Email Filters
Update the Gmail Trigger filters (subject and sender) if Fireflies.ai uses a different sender or subject format.
Customize Output Email
Modify the recipient email in the Send email node to the desired address.
Optional: Modify AI Prompts
Adjust the system prompts in the Information Extractor and Email Agent nodes to change extraction behavior or email tone.

Ensure the workflow is set to Active in n8n, and test it by sending a sample Fireflies recap email to your connected Gmail account.
