Post meeting summaries to Slack
When a summary finishes, verify the webhook, fetch the summary, and post it to Slack.
This sends meeting content off your device
Meetily is privacy-first and local by default. This automation reads summary text and sends it to a third party (Slack). You are the data controller for that transfer: get the participants' consent, scope the token to read only, and treat the destination as untrusted. Never hard-code a token in a script you share; read it from the environment or the loopback token file.
This recipe posts a meeting summary to Slack the moment it is ready. It uses the summary.completed webhook (a firing event), verifies the HMAC signature, fetches the summary, and posts to a Slack incoming webhook.
1. Register the webhook
Register a webhook on the summary.completed event. Webhooks cannot be delivered to localhost, so run a tunnel (ngrok or cloudflared) in front of your receiver and register the tunnel's public HTTPS URL. Use summary.completed, not meeting.updated (meeting.* events never fire). See Webhooks for registration and the HMAC recipe.
curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8420/v1/webhooks -H "Authorization: Bearer $MEETILY_PRO_TOKEN" -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{"url":"https://YOUR-TUNNEL.example/hook","events":["summary.completed"]}'2. Receive, verify, fetch, post

The gateway rejects any webhook URL whose host is loopback or a private IP, at registration and at delivery, and there is no flag to disable this. Put a tunnel in front of your receiver and register the tunnel's public HTTPS URL. Never disable the SSRF protection.
Inspect delivery attempts with GET /v1/webhooks/:id/deliveries if a post does not arrive.
