Fathom Actions & Triggers

Managing meetings can quickly become overwhelming—especially when you have to review recordings, write notes, and send follow-ups. The good news is that you can automate most of this work using a smart integration that connects your meetings directly to your workflows. This guide will walk you through how it works and how to start using it.

What This Integration Can Do

Once connected, this integration helps you automatically:

Access meeting recordings

Pull transcripts of conversations

Retrieve AI-generated summaries

Trigger workflows when a new meeting is ready

This means you can automate things like follow-up emails, task creation, and note organization—saving you time and effort.

Triggers vs Actions

Triggers (What starts a workflow)

New Recording: This trigger starts a workflow whenever a new meeting recording becomes available.

How to Get Started

Add the Integration to a Workflow

Open your workflow builder and add a new trigger or action. You can locate the Fathom integration in the Apps section. 

Choose a trigger or action (for example, New Recording or Fetch Transcript).

Connect Your Account

If your account is already connected, you’ll see options right away. If not, click Connect Now and log in.

You can also connect it from your Settings → Integrations area.

Once connected, you’ll be able to pull recordings, transcripts, and summaries directly into your workflows. Make sure to test the connection before publishing.

Automating your meeting workflows can make a huge difference in productivity. Instead of manually reviewing calls and writing notes, you can let your system handle it for you—quickly and consistently.
