Integration: Loom Async Video Transcription

What this should show

A Node.js server that registers a Loom webhook listening for video upload/completion events. When a new Loom video is available, the server downloads the audio track from the Loom CDN URL and submits it to Deepgram pre-recorded STT for a full transcript. The transcript is then returned (e.g., logged, stored in a database, or posted as a Loom comment). Demonstrates webhook handling, audio extraction from Loom, and Deepgram batch transcription in a real async workflow.

Original request:

Server-side Node.js using the Loom API. Registers a Loom webhook that fires on video upload completion, downloads the audio track from the Loom CDN URL, and submits it to Deepgram pre-recorded STT for a full transcript. Returns the transcript to Loom via a comment or a custom database. Useful for teams who use Loom for async communication and want searchable transcripts.

Professional path: Loom webhook (video.transcription_completed or upload event) → download audio → Deepgram pre-recorded STT

Ooo, we'll get right on that! 🎉

The Engineer will pick this up shortly and build a Loom async video transcription example — a Node.js server that hooks into Loom webhooks and sends the audio to Deepgram pre-recorded STT for searchable transcripts.

I'll keep this issue open so you can track progress — we'll close it automatically when the PR merges.

If you have any extra context (preferred language, specific API, or credentials you're already using), drop it here — it helps the build go faster!
