I'm stuck at the most basic scenario

[FM]

What is your goal?

I want to take my transcripts from Fathom and create a new word doc for each in a google drive folder.

What is the problem?

The text of the transcript will not copy into the google doc. I’m having trouble mapping the actual text of the transcript into the doc. I’ve tried to map the “utterances”, “transcript”, “text”, but nothing works. The doc will get created but either it will be blank or it will only contain one lien of text.

What have you tried so far?

I set this up in Zapier in 15 minutes. it was incredibly easy. Make, OTOH, is incredibly frustrating to use and am only using it because my company forced me to. It really sucks. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey there,

can you share a screenshot of what you have so far and what the incoming data looks like?

thanks for the reply. Just posted some screenshots of all the steps. I only added the iterator and aggregator steps because Claude said I had to do that. I can’t believe there is no way to simply take teh text of the transcript and just create a file. It’s so easy to do in Zapier. Just don’t get it.

Ok so you need to iterate the transcript array. What you’ve currently mapped is the value of an item of that array and not the array itself.

Then you need to aggregate the items coming from the iterator module. Not from the previous one.

Thanks, so how do I map the transcript array exactly? What exactly am I mapping? All of the values under “transcripts”?

Hi @FM ,

If you want to iterate over the transcript array, you need to map the array itself, not the fields inside it, as shown in the screenshot.

Hope this helps! If you face any issues, feel free to reach out.

I was stuck on a similar issue but with Google Slides and the Proposal for potential Customers. I was stuck for 3 days before reaching out to the Community. They helped with great answers. The solution for me was to choose a “TEMPLATE” that was as close to what i needed and delete the rest. Once I did that….works like a charm now.

FYI. I started over and I got it to work without the iterator or text aggregator steps. Not sure why they are necessary. My agent is able to parse the outputted transcript doc file so I’m all set. Thanks for the help.

At the end of the day, all i had to do was this, which is what I had been doing since the beginning so not exactly sure what I did differently this time.

Ok. Wish I could get this far! I have the meeting ID but keep getting a 404 code when the module runs. It doesn’t matter if I hard code the ID or use the output from the text parser. Has anyone else run into this issue?

UPDATE: the actual ID of the meeting is not part of the URL and doesn’t appear to be exposed in any public way like in a recap email. I can also get a listing of meetings, but I’m not 100% sure how to pull the exact meeting as testing the filter under “list recordings” doesn’t have a filter for meeting title, organizer, or team that might help narrow it down.
