Fathom Common Errors

Error Reference

1. 401 Unauthorized

Fix: Regenerate API key at Settings > Integrations > API Access.

2. 429 Rate Limited

Limit: 60 calls per minute across all API keys. Fix: Implement exponential backoff. Batch requests.

3. Empty Transcript

Causes: Meeting still processing, recording too short, or audio quality issues. Fix: Wait 5-10 minutes after recording. Check recording in Fathom UI.

4. Missing Summary

Cause: AI processing not complete. Fix: Poll the recording endpoint until summary is available.

5. Webhook Not Firing

Fix: Verify webhook URL in Settings > Integrations > Webhooks. Test with:

curl -X POST https://your-url.com/webhooks/fathom \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type": "test"}'

6. OAuth Token Expired

Fix: Refresh the access token using your refresh token.
