Let Claude fetch a Google Meet transcript through an MCP tool

The Let Claude fetch a Google Meet transcript through an MCP tool workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 3 steps across FlowMattic MCP, Google Meet — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Meeting transcripts are useful raw material for an AI assistant: summaries, action items, follow-up emails. Copying them out of Google Drive by hand each time gets old. This workflow turns transcript retrieval into a tool Claude can call through your FlowMattic MCP server, so you can ask about a meeting and let Claude fetch what was said.

The FlowMattic MCP trigger fires when this workflow's own MCP tool is executed. The values Claude passes with the call are available to the next step, so define the tool's input as the transcript identifier the Google Meet step needs.

The Google Meet Get Transcript (Google Workspace) step retrieves one specific meeting transcript. It ships unmapped: connect your Google account and map the identifier Claude sends. The step reads only; it doesn't record or start any transcript, and Google Meet transcripts are a Google Workspace feature that must have been turned on for the meeting.

The MCP Tool Response step sends the result back to Claude. Map what Claude should receive, such as the transcript details returned in your test run. Claude decides when to use the tool, and it needs to know the identifier from you or from another tool.

Summaries on request

A project manager asks Claude to summarise yesterday's client call, and Claude calls the tool with the transcript reference to pull it in.

Action items from team meetings

A team lead has Claude fetch the weekly stand-up transcript and turn it into a list of owners and due dates.

Drafting follow-up emails

A consultant gives Claude the transcript reference from a discovery call and asks for a follow-up email based on what the client said.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

Step 1Trigger
FlowMattic MCP Workflow MCP Tool Triggered
Starts when the MCP tool tied to this workflow is executed, for example by Claude. Whatever Claude passes with the call, such as the transcript reference, is available for mapping.
Step 2Action
Google Meet Get Transcript ( Google Workspace )
Retrieves one specific Google Meet transcript from your Google Workspace account. The template leaves it unmapped, so connect Google and map the transcript identifier sent by Claude.
Step 3Action
FlowMattic MCP MCP Tool Response
Returns the outcome of the tool call to Claude. After import, map the transcript details from the Google Meet step into the response so Claude has something to work with.

What you need

FlowMatticCore
Google Meet AccountAccount

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Describe the MCP tool's input clearly, for example as the Google Meet transcript name, so Claude knows exactly what value to pass.
Build a companion MCP workflow with Google Meet's List Conference Records and List Transcripts actions, so Claude can look up the transcript reference before it calls this one.
Test the tool with a meeting you know had transcription turned on, and check Task History to see what Google returned.

Questions about this workflow

Which Google account do I need for Google Meet transcripts?

The Get Transcript step is marked Google Workspace, and Meet transcripts come from Workspace meetings that had transcription turned on. Connect the Workspace account that owns those meetings.

How does Claude know which transcript to fetch?

It has to pass the transcript identifier with the tool call. You can give it in your message, or add a second MCP workflow that lists conference records and transcripts first.

Does this workflow record or transcribe a Google Meet call?

No. It only retrieves a transcript that already exists. Transcription itself happens in Google Meet during the meeting.

Will Claude receive the spoken text of the Google Meet call?

Check a test run to see what Get Transcript returns for your meeting. If you need the individual spoken lines, add Google Meet's List Transcript Entries action between Get Transcript and MCP Tool Response, and map its result into the response.
