Fathom CI Integration

Prerequisites

• A protected repository, mocked fixtures, required checks, and a separate scoped development credential for optional integration tests.

Instructions

1. Run deterministic schema/mapping/template/unit checks on pull requests without credentials.
2. Run live synthetic integration checks only from trusted protected workflows.
3. Bound retries and resources, retain redacted evidence, and keep production deployment approval separate.

Output

• A credential-free PR validation lane and a trusted development integration lane with redacted receipts.

Examples

Run mocked meeting/CRM mapping tests on every pull request, then execute one synthetic protected-branch check using a development secret. If it fails, record opaque IDs/status and back off; never expose Fathom/CRM credentials or real meeting data to forked code.

Overview

Set up CI/CD for Fathom meeting intelligence integrations: run unit tests with mocked transcript and action-item responses on every PR, validate live API connectivity against the Fathom meetings endpoint on merge to main. Fathom provides AI-generated meeting summaries, transcripts, and action items, so CI pipelines focus on verifying data parsing logic and webhook handling for real-time meeting events.

Mock-Based Unit Tests

// tests/fathom-service.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { extractActionItems } from '../src/fathom-service';

const mockMeeting = {
  id: 'mtg_abc123',
  title: 'Sprint Planning',
  date: '2026-04-01T10:00:00Z',
  transcript: 'We need to fix the login bug by Friday...',
  action_items: [
    { assignee: 'Alice', task: 'Fix login bug', due: '2026-04-05' },
    { assignee: 'Bob', task: 'Update API docs', due: '2026-04-07' },
  ],
};

vi.mock('../src/fathom-client', () => ({
  FathomClient: vi.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({
    getMeeting: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(mockMeeting),
    listMeetings: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ meetings: [mockMeeting], total: 1 }),
  })),
}));

describe('Fathom Service', () => {
  it('extracts action items from meeting transcript', async () => {
    const items = await extractActionItems('mtg_abc123');
    expect(items).toHaveLength(2);
    expect(items[0].assignee).toBe('Alice');
  });
});

Integration Tests

// tests/integration/fathom.integration.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';

const hasKey = !!process.env.FATHOM_API_KEY;

describe.skipIf(!hasKey)('Fathom Live API', () => {
  it('lists recent meetings', async () => {
    const res = await fetch('https://api.fathom.video/v1/meetings?limit=1', {
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.FATHOM_API_KEY}` },
    });
    expect(res.status).toBe(200);
    const body = await res.json();
    expect(body).toHaveProperty('meetings');
  });
});

Error Handling

CI Issue	Cause	Fix
401 Unauthorized	Invalid or expired API key	Regenerate key at fathom.video settings
Empty meetings list	No recordings in account	Create a test meeting or use sandbox account
Transcript parsing fails	Meeting still processing	Add retry with 30s delay for recent meetings
Webhook signature mismatch	Wrong signing secret in CI	Verify FATHOM_WEBHOOK_SECRET matches dashboard config
Rate limit (429)	Too many API calls in tests	Add request throttling between test cases
