Data Transfer Guide
Exporting from Fireflies.ai: Access your dashboard, select meetings, and use the export option to download transcripts as TXT or PDF files. Meeting recordings themselves typically cannot be exported directly, but you can reference original meeting platform recordings. For import to tl;dv: Upload original meeting video files to tl;dv where available, or process meeting links if recordings exist in Zoom/Google Meet. Manually transfer critical notes and action items by copying them into tl;dv's note features. Focus on recent essential meetings rather than attempting complete historical transfer, as manual transcription recreation is time-intensive.
