Step by step
The full walkthrough
01
Start a Fireflies pipeline
- Open Settings › Pipelines. Select Onboarding, then start a Calls and Meetings pipeline.
- Choose Fireflies. On the Sources page, select Fireflies from the meeting sources.
- Review the connection fields. Keep the Connection Name as Fireflies unless you need a different label.
- Open Fireflies in another tab. Sign in to the Fireflies account that ArcGlass should process.
Tip — Use the API Key under Developer Settings. The MCP server URL is not the credential required by this ArcGlass connector.


02
Copy the Fireflies API key
- Open Fireflies Settings. From the Fireflies application, open Settings.
- Select MCP & Dev Tools. Scroll to the Developer Settings section.
- Copy the API key. Use the copy control next to API Key. Do not use the MCP URL or webhook settings.


03
Connect Fireflies and create the pipeline
- Paste the key in ArcGlass. Return to the Fireflies integration and enter the copied API key.
- Save the integration. Select Save or Next after ArcGlass accepts the key.
- Keep the supplied defaults. Proceed through AI Instructions and Destinations unless ArcGlass provides different settings.
- Name and create the pipeline. Review the summary and select Create Pipeline.
