How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerManual run with target Loom folder ID
  • ActionList and page through all videos in the folderLoomLoom
  • LogicSkip videos already present in Coda index
  • ActionFetch transcript and chapter+summarize with OpenAIOpenAI
  • ActionInsert row into Coda transcript indexCodaCoda
  • OutputReport count of demos indexed

What it does

This is the one-time backfill that seeds your searchable library. It pages through every video already sitting in a Loom folder, fetches each transcript, generates chapters and a summary with OpenAI, and writes one Coda row per video so your full historical demo archive becomes searchable in a single run.

When to use it

Run this once when you first adopt the auto-chaptering setup and have hundreds of old demos that predate the live webhook. After the backfill completes, the per-video webhook flow keeps the index current going forward.

How it works

  1. 1A manual trigger starts the backfill with the target Loom folder ID.
  2. 2The flow lists all videos in the folder, paging until the archive is exhausted.
  3. 3A logic step skips any video whose Loom ID already exists as a Coda row, making the run safely re-runnable.
  4. 4For each remaining video it fetches the transcript and has OpenAI produce chapters and a summary.
  5. 5A Coda action inserts the row with transcript, chapters, and deep links; the final output reports how many demos were indexed.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LoomVideo transcripts, libraries.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect CodaDocs, packs, automations.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
