Fireflies
Fireflies transcript to LinkedIn post, from the line you said out loud.
Turn a Fireflies transcript into a LinkedIn post: connect Fireflies once, read-only, with one click or a pasted key. About once a week Sonar reads the transcripts of your last seven days of meetings, up to five, keeps the moments worth saying, and drafts LinkedIn and X posts in your voice from them. Nothing publishes without your approval.
What Sonar reads
Who said what, on up to five calls a week.
Fireflies sat in the call and wrote down who said what. Here is exactly what Sonar reads from that, what stays, and what never does.
Reads
- Transcripts of your meetings from the last seven days, up to five.
- From each one: the title, the date, and the sentences with the speaker's label on each, up to 6,000 characters per meeting.
- Through one of two doors: Fireflies' own consent screen, one click, or an API key you copy from Fireflies under Integrations, Fireflies API, and paste into Sonar.
- Whichever meeting tool hosted the call. Fireflies was in the room; Sonar reads what Fireflies wrote down.
Does not read
- Anything older than seven days, or beyond the five most recent transcripts.
- Video or audio. Sonar reads the transcript text; the recording stays with Fireflies.
- It never creates, changes or deletes a meeting or a transcript. Read-only, both doors.
- Your other tools. Fireflies is one row; every source in Sonar is its own switch.
Keeps
- The moments it mined: a title, an angle, one line of detail, and the meeting title they came from.
- A receipt of the read on the row in Connected sources: how many meetings and their titles with a key; through the one-click door, the titles when Fireflies lists them, else the moment count.
- The connection itself: a refresh token for a one-click connection, or the key you pasted, so next week's read runs without asking again.
Never keeps
- The transcript text. The week's transcripts are assembled into one transient block, mined in a single pass, and discarded.
- The speaker labels. They ride the read so a moment can tell your line from a client's, and leave with it.
- Any moment past the retention you set, if you set one: 30 days, 90 days or a year.
From a transcript to a post
The best line of the week was said out loud.
A transcript holds the sentence you would never have typed. Sonar keeps that sentence's lesson, and writes the opening. An invented call, run the way yours would be.
01
In the transcript
Onboarding retro · 38 min
Thursday · Fireflies transcript
Their head of ops: we got nine emails from you in week one. Nobody read the ninth.
You: the first week is where we lose people, and it is on us.
Read as speaker-labelled lines, one transcript at a time, up to five from the last seven days.
02
The moment Sonar keeps
Lesson · Fireflies: Onboarding retro
Nine emails in week one cost us a client's attention
Angle: what a client's first week should contain, and what it should not.
A title, an angle, one line of detail, and the meeting it came from. The transcript itself is discarded after the pass.
03
The draft that was waiting
LinkedIn draft · waiting for your approval
A client told me we sent them nine emails in their first week. I went back and counted. It was eleven.
The freshest moments are dealt into your weekly deck as drafts in your voice, and every moment is one tap from a draft on Home. Keep one and it lands on your board.
Invented for this page. Look at what is not in it: the client's name, or the name of the person who said the line. The meeting title stays in Sonar as provenance for your eyes only; the moment and the post say "a client". That is the people rule, and it holds for every source, not only this one.
Set it up
Approve once at Fireflies, or paste your API key.
- 01
Open Connected sources
Sign in at app.meetsonar.co and open Settings, Connected sources. On your first day the Connect your week row on Home opens the same list.
- 02
Flip the Fireflies switch
Fireflies' own consent screen opens. Approve, and you land back in Sonar. There is no key to find: Sonar registers itself with Fireflies for your connection alone.
- 03
Or paste a key instead
Prefer a key? Under the switch, choose "Prefer an API key? Paste one instead". Copy your key from Fireflies under Integrations, Fireflies API (the row links straight to that page). Sonar checks it against Fireflies before storing it.
- 04
Let the first read run
The first read starts as soon as you are connected. Moments appear on Home shortly after, and the row's receipt shows how many meetings were read and which.
- 05
Teach your spoken register, if you want to
With a pasted key, Settings, Voice can also learn how you talk from the lines the transcript attributes to you. Off by default; the switch names every source it would read.
- 06
Run it yourself any time
About once a week is the cadence. The Sync all button at the top of Connected sources runs every connected source now.
Turning it off is the same switch. A one-click connection is revoked with Fireflies and deleted; a pasted key is deleted from Sonar, and you can delete it in Fireflies too. Moments already mined stay yours to keep or delete in Settings, Intelligence, Moments. Fireflies joins the call whichever tool hosts it; if your calls are Zoom cloud recordings, the Zoom connector reads the transcript straight from the recording, and Granola is the notes-first sibling. The step-by-step guide is Using Sonar with Fireflies.
