Meeting conferencing and transcription

Read as Markdown

Cover the meeting itself: generate conferencing details as events are created, and capture what was said once the meeting runs.

Cronofy facilitates the whole meeting through the same integration that creates it. Ask for conferencing and a Meeting Agent when you create an event, and Cronofy creates the conference, sends the Meeting Agent to record it, and delivers the transcript to your application, with a webhook at each step:

Conferencing and transcription through a meeting
Step by step
  1. Your application creates an event through Cronofy, asking for conferencing and a Meeting Agent.
  2. Cronofy creates the conference with the conferencing service, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet.
  3. Cronofy sends your application a webhook that the conference has been generated, with its join details.
  4. Cronofy sends your application a webhook that its Meeting Agent is preparing to join the meeting.
  5. The Meeting Agent joins the conference and records it.
  6. Cronofy sends your application a webhook that the Meeting Agent has started recording.
  7. Cronofy sends your application a webhook that the Meeting Agent is complete, with the transcript and recording ready.
  8. Your application downloads the transcript and recording from Cronofy.

Conferencing #

Conferencing services add video and dial-in details to events as they’re created, using the user’s own Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet account, and keep the conference in step as the event changes.

Meetings booked through Scheduling Requests get their conferencing the same way, so a booked meeting arrives with its join details.

Transcription #

Meeting Agents join Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet meetings to record them. Once the meeting ends, they deliver the audio and video recordings, a transcript, and a summary for your application to download and build on.

Attach a Meeting Agent to an event when you create it, or send one to any meeting by its join URL.

Each step sends a webhook, so your application can react as the meeting progresses rather than checking on it. See Webhooks & workflows for these alongside the rest of a meeting’s lifecycle.
