Fireflies.ai ➔ Slack API Payload Specification

Technical reference for automating data exchange between Transcription and Messaging workflows.

💡 How this integration works:

1. Fireflies.ai triggers an event when transcript.finished occurs.
2. Data is packaged into a standard JSON webhook payload.
3. Payload is delivered into your Slack API intake pipeline and mapped to your Messaging targets.
