# Connect Fathom to Rig

Rig syncs your Fathom meetings with their transcripts, summaries and action items, plus your teams and team members, into your warehouse. You connect with an API key from your Fathom user settings.

## Before you start

- You need a Fathom account. An API key is scoped to the user who creates it.
- Decide whose account to use. The key reads meetings that user recorded or that were shared with them or their team.

## Step 1: Generate a Fathom API key

1. In Fathom, open your user settings and go to the **API Access** section.
2. Generate an API key and copy it.

What the key can see
A key never grants access to other people's private meetings. Fathom admins can see all users' shared meetings by configuring View permissions in Fathom.

## Step 2: Connect it in Rig

New to Rig? Watch how to find Connections

Adding a source needs a workspace owner, or a role with the Manage connections permission, on a workspace where you manage your own connections. If the Connectors tab says “Data ingestion for this workspace is managed by Rig”, ask an owner or Rig support to add the source.

1. In Rig, open `Connections`, choose the `Connectors` tab and go to `Sources & actions`.
2. Search for **Fathom**, open the card and click `Connect`.
3. **Fathom API key**: The key you generated.
4. **Webhook signing secret (optional)**: Leave it blank. Syncing does not use it.
5. Click `Continue`. Rig checks the credentials and lists the streams it can reach, so choose the ones you want and click `Connect`.
6. The source then syncs on its schedule, which is nightly unless you change it. To load data straight away, click `Sync` on its row; `Test` pulls a small sample first if you want to check the connection.

## What Rig pulls in

Fathom lands in its own `fathom` schema in your warehouse:

- **Meetings**: Each recording with its metadata, the transcript by speaker, the default AI summary and the action items.
- **Teams**: Your Fathom teams.
- **Team members**: The people on each team.

## Good to know

- Fathom allows 60 requests a minute, so a large first sync takes a while.
- Transcript lines land in a child table of meetings, one row per spoken line with speaker and timestamp.
- A meeting synced before Fathom finishes processing it can arrive with an empty transcript.
- To disconnect Fathom, click the bin icon on the source's row under `Sources & actions`. Only whoever connected the source or a workspace owner can do this, and data already synced stays in the warehouse.

## What people use this for

- Analyse what is said across every call
- Connect conversations to outcomes
- Track action items to completion
