Hi @zappyzapman,

I understand that you mentioned adding a delay step may not be the solution, but I just want to double-check since the "New Recording in Zoom" trigger is an instant trigger. With an instant trigger, your app sends Zapier a notification instantly when new data becomes available. This may not allow the Zoom integration enough time to generate the transcript.

To test this, can you please try adding a delay step of 15 minutes and giving the "New Recording" trigger a little more time to generate the transcript data?

Please let me know if this works for you! 

I tried this out and in looking at the history of the Zap, it appears that it is building the recording file list at the time of the trigger.  Adding the delay step did not change what was included in the recording file list so the transcription file did not make the list and was not downloaded.

I think to fully solve this there would need to be a new trigger for “New Transcript Available” or an ability to query Zoom after the 15 minute delay so that the delayed transcript file could be found at that point.

I did notice there is a new action for “API Request (Beta)” but that feels pretty heavy.

Do you have any other ideas or things I could try?

Hi @zappyzapman,

Thanks for trying it out.

I reviewed the Zoom app integration and we have an open feature request to add a "New Audio Transcript" trigger. The good news is you're not the first user to request the feature and it's on our radar. I’ve added your name to this request so we will be sure to reach out if this added feature ever makes it to production. 

In the meantime, there might be a workaround that you could try using the Catch Hook trigger with Webhooks by Zapier. This will give you a webhook URL that you can use to configure your Zoom account to send webhook notifications for "Recording transcript files have completed" events. You can find more information about how to set this up in the Zoom API documentation.

​Just to be upfront, Webhooks by Zapier is considered an advanced feature, so our support for it may be more limited. Not because we don't want to help, but because APIs can be so different and each request can be so unique. This makes it hard for us to know why the request may be receiving errors or not working as expected. 

Hopefully, this helps! 

It looks like the Catch Hook trigger approach won’t work.

Zapier doesn’t support custom responses (https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496288690317), and Zoom requires endpoint validation (https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/webhook-reference/#validate-your-webhook-endpoint).

I don’t see how I can get this to work, but happy to hear other ideas.  Hopefully the new feature comes through soon!

Hi @zappyzapman,

I'm really sorry if the workaround I suggested isn't feasible for your situation. However, there's another option you might consider. You could hire an API developer to create a custom API tailored to your needs. We have a list of certified Zapier Experts who could be just the people you're looking for. You can find them here: Zapier Experts.

I apologize that I couldn't provide an immediate solution this time. Please know that we're here to help and support you in any way we can. 

Hi @ken.a, can you please also keep me updated on the status of the feature/bug?

Given the recent explosion of AI, I can imagine this is quite important to some people, as they’d like to run their transcriptions through GPT services.

Thanks!

Hi @ryanheyscience,

I have added you as another interested member to the feature request. While we can’t provide an exact timeframe for the features implementation. We will let you know via email once it is implemented.

Thank you!

Just chiming in here to say I am also very interested in this feature! Hope that it will possible soon. 

Hi there @Crecord,

I have added your vote to the open feature request. We will let you know via email once the feature has been shipped.

I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Me 2 please

Btw as an alternative to new triggers, maybe you could develop a ‘refresh data’ step, which could then be used for any application to refresh the trigger data. (I’d imagine transcripts from zoom is not the only thing that might be available only after a certain delay...)

Hi there @Hypha,

I’m so sorry for my late reply.

I also added you to the open feature request. We will let you know via email once the feature has been implemented.

I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Hi folks,

Reaching out here to announce that a New Audio Transcript trigger has been added to the Zoom app on Zapier! 



If you’re not able to select it in your Zaps, then you may need to upgrade the Zoom app to the latest version. See our Update to the latest app version in Zaps guide for more details on how to do that.

We hope you’re able to give it a try soon! And please reach out in the Community or contact our Support team to make us aware of any issues you run into with it. In the meantime, happy Zapping!

Hi @SamB,

Why is this feature only available to zoom business, education or enterprise licenses and not paid Zoom Pro licenses?

Hi @summitthescore,

    You should check it with Zoom support since that was the only restriction the app developers from Zoom made available. 

Hi @JammerS @SamB!

I’m also disappointed that this trigger only works if you have a Business or higher account. Transcripts are available for Pro users and the New Cloud Recording trigger as well, so it doesn’t make sense that the New Transcript trigger doesn’t work for Pro users. Maybe you could ask your Zoom contact about this? (It will always be better if you ask them representing Zapier than if I do as a single customer)

Also, from the trigger description it’s not clear to me if it works at the user level (meetings hosted by me) or at the account level (meetings hosted by anyone in my account). In the case of the New Cloud Recording trigger you can choose the scope, but looks like with New Audio Transcript you can’t. Could you please clarify?

Thanks!
