Matching Fathom to Calendar

Match by time overlap (recording_start_time within event window ± 15 min) or by title similarity. The calendar_invitees field shows who was invited; is_external flags non-org attendees.

Common Workflows

Pull action items from recent calls

source ~/.openclaw/secrets/fathom.env
curl -s "https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1/meetings?include_action_items=true&limit=20" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $FATHOM_API_KEY"

Get full transcript for a specific date range

curl -s "https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1/meetings?include_transcript=true&created_after=2026-02-17T00:00:00Z&created_before=2026-02-18T00:00:00Z" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $FATHOM_API_KEY"

Filter to external meetings only

After fetching, filter meetings where at least one calendar_invitees entry has is_external: true, or check the calendar_invitees_domains_type field for "one_or_more_external".

Sync script (calendar + Fathom → database)

See scripts/sync-fathom.js for a complete local sync script that:

1. Refreshes Google OAuth token
2. Pulls Google Calendar events for a date range
3. Pulls Fathom meetings with action items
4. Matches Fathom recordings to calendar events
5. Upserts everything to Supabase (or any database)

Adapt the database layer to your needs.

Webhooks

Fathom can POST to your endpoint when recordings complete. Verify with FATHOM_WEBHOOK_SECRET. Use this for real-time sync instead of polling.

Tips

• Action items from Fathom are AI-generated — review for accuracy
• recorded_by shows who ran the Fathom bot, not necessarily the meeting organizer
• Duplicate recordings happen when multiple team members run Fathom on the same call — deduplicate by matching scheduled_start_time + similar titles
• The API returns meetings from all team members if using a team API key
