Fathom CI Integration

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
