Fireflies ACTION
Create Meeting Clip
Create a clip (a Fireflies "bite") from a completed, already-transcribed meeting by specifying a start and end time in seconds. This is the action to use for past meetings — for a meeting that is still running, use Create Live Meeting Soundbite instead. To find the moment to clip, read the
sentences array returned by Find Meeting by ID: each sentence carries its own start_time and end_time in seconds (e.g. 142.5), so clipping around a quote means passing that sentence's start and end. Clip generation is asynchronous — this returns immediately with status: pending and no media, so preview, thumbnail and the playable URL are not available yet. Pass the returned id to Find Clip by ID and poll until status reaches a terminal ready or error. See the documentation- Action

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Fireflies account once, then configure and run Create Meeting Clip from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "fireflies-create-meeting-clip",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
fireflies: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
meetingId: "Meeting ID",
startTime: "Start Time",
},
})

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
meetingId Meeting ID | string | The completed meeting to clip. A Fireflies meeting ID and transcript ID are the same value. Use Find Meeting by ID or Find Recent Meeting to look up a meeting ID. Required Dynamic |
startTime Start Time | string | Where the clip starts, in seconds from the beginning of the meeting, e.g. 142.5. Fractional seconds are allowed, using a dot as the decimal separator. Thousands separators are ignored, so 1,200 is read as 1200 seconds. Copy the start_time of a sentence returned by Find Meeting by ID to clip around a specific quote. Required |
endTime End Time | string | Where the clip ends, in seconds from the beginning of the meeting, e.g. 168.25. Uses a dot as the decimal separator and ignores thousands separators, the same as Start Time. Must be greater than Start Time. Required |
name Name | string | A title for the clip, e.g. Pricing objection. Max 256 characters. Optional |
mediaType Media Type | string | Whether to produce a video or audio clip. A video clip is only possible if the meeting itself was recorded with video. Optional |
privacies Privacies | string[] | Who can view the clip. public is viewable by anyone with the link, team by your Fireflies team, and participants by the meeting's attendees. Optional |
summary Summary | string | A short description of what the clip contains, e.g. Customer pushes back on the enterprise tier price. Max 500 characters. Optional |
