Triggers
The Watch New Note instant trigger in the Make app is delivered by your server’s webhook orchestrator — it is not an endpoint you call. The Watch New Recordings polling trigger readsGET /plaud/files/webhook-candidates, which returns only
recordings that are ready (not trashed, transcribed, and summarized).
Notes
- Readiness. Use the
is_trans/is_summaryflags (on file objects) or the409not-ready response to skip recordings whose transcript/summary is still generating. - Pre-signed URLs expire. Audio URLs and summary image URLs are short-lived S3 links (~15 minutes) — fetch and use them promptly.
- One bundle call. Prefer
/files/{id}/fetch?include=transcript,summaryover three separate round trips when you need multiple attachments for the same recording. - Reconnect on
401. A401means your stored Plaud credentials were rejected (revoked/expired) — reconnect your Plaud account on the Magic Meal Kits app.
