How to Set Up the Fireflies–Slack Integration

Slack is where conversations happen, but meeting notes and follow-ups often live somewhere else. Connecting Fireflies to Slack keeps everything together by sharing meeting notes in Slack and letting you ask questions about meetings without leaving the conversation.

You only need to connect Slack once to share notes in channels or DMs and use Slack Assistant by tagging @Fireflies — there’s no separate setup or extra installation.

🔍 What happens when you connect Slack

Once Slack is connected, Fireflies can:

• Post meeting summaries and notes to Slack so your team can review key points and action items without leaving the channel

• Respond when you tag @Fireflies in channels or threads, making it easy to ask questions or request summaries right where the conversation is happening

There’s no additional setup — connecting Slack once enables both.

🔑 Prerequisites

Before you connect Fireflies to Slack, make sure you have:

• A Fireflies account with access to the Integrations page.

• Access to a Slack workspace where you’re allowed to install apps.

• Permission to post messages in the Slack channel or DM you plan to use.

Once these are in place, you’re ready to connect Slack in just a few clicks.

🔗 Connect Fireflies to Slack

This setup covers both Slack notes and Slack Assistant. There’s no separate installation.

Step 1: Log in to your Fireflies account, go to the Integrations page, and search for Slack Assistant. Click on it to get started.

Step 2: Click on the Connect button. You’ll be redirected to Slack, where you can sign in to your workspace.

Step 3: Review the permissions Fireflies needs and choose where Fireflies should post meeting notes. You can select:

• A public channel (for example, #sales-daily to keep the team aligned)

• A private channel (for example, #leadership-calls for confidential discussions)

• A direct message with a person or group (useful for 1:1s or async updates)

Once selected, click Allow to complete the connection.

Step 4: Once approved, you’ll be redirected back to Fireflies to configure your integration setup.

⚙ Setting Up Your Slack Configuration

After connecting Slack, you can configure how meeting notes are sent. You can edit these settings anytime by opening the Slack integration and clicking Edit.

Step 1: Choose a Slack channel or DM
Use the search field to select the channel or direct message where Fireflies should post meeting notes. This is the default destination for notes going forward.

Step 2: Add an optional message
You can add a short custom message that appears before the meeting notes in Slack. This is useful for context, like Here’s the recap from today’s call .

Step 3: Select a Topic
Choose a Topic Tracker to group and highlight specific words or phrases mentioned during the meeting.

When those terms are detected, they’ll appear in the meeting summary and in the notes sent to Slack.

Step 4:Save Your Configuration

Click Save to activate the integration — a flash message will confirm that your settings saved successfully.

⚡ Insert Sample Data & Test Push Flow

Before sharing real meeting notes, you can test the Slack integration to make sure everything is working as expected.

Insert Sample Data →Use this to send a sample meeting recap to a Slack channel or DM to see how notes appear.

1. Click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) next to your Slack configuration and select Insert Sample Data.

2. A flash message will confirm —“Sample data pushed successfully”.

Test Push Flow → Use this to confirm Fireflies can successfully send meeting notes to Slack end-to-end.

1. Click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) next to your Slack configuration and select Test Push Flow.

2. A flash message will confirm — “Test push flow successfully”.

✅ After you connect to Slack

Once Slack is connected and your setup is complete, you can start using Fireflies directly in Slack.

• Choose where meeting notes are posted and update the destination anytime from the Slack integration settings

• Tag @Fireflies in any channel it’s been added to to ask questions or request meeting summaries

📬 What your Slack notes will look like

Fireflies shares meeting notes in Slack using a clean, structured layout to reduce noise and keep channels easy to scan.

🌟 Main message

The main message includes the key highlights of the meeting:

• Meeting title — a clickable link to view the full recap in Fireflies

• Time — shown in the meeting host’s time zone

• Participants — with mailto links so you can email them directly

• Overview — a summary of what the meeting covered

  

💬 Threaded reply

Detailed notes are shared in a thread to keep the main channel uncluttered while still providing full context:

• Bullet-point summary notes

• Action items in a checklist format, so it’s clear what needs to happen next

  

This way, your team gets the highlights upfront with the option to dive deeper when needed.

❌ Disconnect Integration

If you no longer need Fireflies connected to Slack — for example, if your team changes workflows or no longer wants meeting notes posted — you can disconnect the integration at any time.

Open the Slack integration in Fireflies and click Disconnect. This immediately removes the connection.

🛠 Troubleshooting

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can I send meeting notes to a DM instead of a channel?
Yes. During setup or when editing the integration, you can choose a direct message with a person or group.

Q2. Can I post notes to multiple Slack channels at once?
No. Each Fireflies user can have one active Slack destination at a time. You can change the destination anytime from the integration settings.

Q3. Will disconnecting Slack delete existing messages or threads?
No. Disconnecting Slack only stops future notes from being sent. Anything already posted in Slack will remain.

Q4. Why does @Fireflies work in one channel but not another?
Slack Assistant can only respond in channels where @Fireflies has been added. Add it to the channel and try again.

Q5. Can I change where notes are posted later?
Yes. Open the Slack integration, click Edit, choose a new channel or DM, and save your changes.
