How to Get Google Meet Transcripts in n8n (Easy 2-Node Setup)

Looking for the easiest way to add Google Meet transcription to n8n?
With the open‑source Vexa API you can drop a bot into any Meet and capture real‑time and post‑meeting transcripts—all via two REST calls already wired into a ready‑to‑import workflow.

Quick Overview (Why Teams Search "Google Meet Transcript Automation")

  • Join & transcribe in minutes – No browser extensions or complex node setup
  • Real‑time triggers + full post‑meeting archive
  • Apache‑2.0 license – fork it, self‑host it, scale it
  • Plugs into any n8n flow – Slack, Notion, CRM, AI agents

How It Works (Under the Hood)

Both endpoints need one header:

-H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'

5‑Minute Setup (Video Demo Included)

  1. Download the workflow JSON
  2. Import into n8n (drag‑and‑drop)
  3. Paste your API key in both HTTP Request nodes
  4. Add a Google Meet link
  5. Execute – the bot joins, the transcript flows

Popular Workflows (Real‑Time & Post‑Meeting)

  2. Live Highlights to Slack (real‑time)
