We have created Webhook app in Zoom and we have added this event “recording.transcript\_completed“ and also another event meeting summary completed but this event is firing and it’s not firing this event recording.transcript\_completed. We can see the log in API call log Zoom app and we are unable to fetch recording.transcript\_completed our CRM system.

**CRM Log**

```auto
event=meeting.summary_completed

```

**Zoom Log**

Working in zoom

Can you please look into this as soon as possible.

Thanks

Harkunal

Hi @harkunal , if you can see the event has fired in the Zoom Marketplace webhook app logs, then it is likely the event is firing, but you are not receiving it to your CRM for whatever reason.

Here are some suggestions. Please try the suggestions based on what’s applicable to you:

- [https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/webhooks/#unsuccessful-delivery](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/webhooks/#unsuccessful-delivery)
- [What to check when you're not receiving webhook events](https://developers.zoom.us/blog/not-receiving-webhooks/)

Hi harkunal,

It’s interesting that you’re able to receive the meeting summary webhook, but not the recording.transcript\_completed webhook.

It would be good to check against a few things that are mentioned in [Zoom’s docs](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0064927#:~:text=A%20Pro%2C%20Business%2C%20Education%2C%20or%20Enterprise%20account):

1. Are you (or your users) on a paid Zoom plan? This is only available for users on a Pro, Business, Education, or Enterprise account.
2. Is audio transcription enabled on the host’s Zoom account?

If either of these are not true, it would prevent you from getting the transcript\_completed webhook.

If you’re interested in alternative ways to get a transcript from a Zoom meeting, you might want to check out the [Recall.ai](http://recall.ai/) API. It’s a simple 3rd party API that lets you use meeting bots to transcripts and other data from meetings without you needing to spend months to build, scale and maintain these bots.

@gian thanks for your response, and details on links. We have reviewed Webhook API and Event recording.Transcript\_completed is already added, and now we are even not finding logs of the event in API logs for specific Webhook API as well. We have Pro Paid Plan, and working as dev and POC org currently.

@amanda-recallai Hi Amanda, Thank you for your response. We are on pro plan, and this specific event which is already added is not getting fired and even API logs are not available for transcript completed event. Please note, other event - summary completed is working fine on same Webhook API. Also, I verified audio transcript is enabled for account.

Hi @harkunal can you verify that transcription is turned on within your portal settings? Please confirm by reviewing how to enable them: [Using audio transcription for cloud recordings](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0064927)

Please let me know if you see the cloud recording transcript available in the portal as well. Note that this is different from Zoom AI Companion transcript: [Accessing meeting transcripts for Meeting Summary with AI Companion](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0076632)

AI Companion transcripts can be accessed like this:

> [@Unable to access AI companion transcripts from API using /meetings/{encoded-UUID}/transcript](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/unable-to-access-ai-companion-transcripts-from-api-using-meetings-encoded-uuid-transcript/136510/5):
>
> Thanks @elisa.zoom you gave us the clue needed to solve the issue. We had already been testing with the scheduled UUID but that was not working as mentioned. After some testing though, we’ve confirmed that the issue stems from Zoom returning two different UUIDs for scheduled and past meetings: Scheduled meeting UUID Returned by GET /v2/meetings/{meetingId}. Stable for the scheduled/series definition of the meeting. Does not resolve transcripts. Instance (past meeting) UUID G…

Hi @gianni.zoom, Yes, Transcript is turned ON on the portal settings. Also Cloud recording and transcript VTT files are also available in Recording section for meetings. I have shared below screenshot from org. Thank you for your time to look into this issue.

hi @gianni.zoom We have tried Option 2 so far yet: [What to check when you’re not receiving webhook events](https://developers.zoom.us/blog/not-receiving-webhooks/) . Also for Option 1, we have done endpoint URL validation also completed, which come to validate the URL, and send 200 response back to zoom.

Please note, same Webhook API (Same APP ) has another event meeting summary completed, which is working fine for same end point defined. Thank you.
