Fireflies.ai
What Paperbeam reads from Fireflies.ai, the read-only access it asks for and why, filters, and the beats it feeds.
Calls & meetings
Read-only API key
Meeting transcripts, speakers and summaries from Fireflies.ai.
What we read
- Calls with transcripts, participants and speaker roles
Only the reporting window of each edition is read. Paperbeam stores derived facts and short excerpts, not copies of your Fireflies.ai data, and keeps raw evidence only for your retention period.
Access we ask for, and why
| Scope | Why |
|---|---|
API key (read) | Read transcripts, speakers and summaries of external meetings |
All access is read-only. You can revoke it from Fireflies.ai at any time, or disconnect the source in Paperbeam.
Connect Fireflies.ai
- Go to Sources and choose Fireflies.ai.
- Create a api key. Fireflies → Integrations → Fireflies API, then copy your API key. Open Fireflies.ai settings.
- Fill in API key, then click Test connection. Paperbeam makes one read-only call and shows the account it reached, or exactly what went wrong.
- Click Connect. The credential is encrypted before it is stored and never shown again. Use Sync now on the source’s page to see what it collects from the last 24 hours, and set filters there.
You need the admin or owner role in Paperbeam, and enough permission in Fireflies.ai to grant read access to the data listed above.
Filters
Set on the source’s page at Sources›Fireflies.ai. Filtered-out data is never collected.
| Filter | Effect |
|---|---|
| Include internal meetings | Off by default: meetings where everyone is from your company are skipped. |
To keep specific people, channels or topics out of the paper across all sources, use exclusion rules and the never-mention list in House style.
