How to Migrate from Fathom to Fireflies (Free, Step by Step)

Updated October 1, 2026 to reflect Superhuman's acquisition of Fathom.

A two-year Fathom library can hold some pretty important conversations. Maybe it includes the March call where a prospect finally shared their budget or the onboarding session where a client explained how their setup works.

On September 14, 2026, Superhuman acquired Fathom, and when you switch from Fathom to Fireflies, you’ll want those conversations to come with you. Learning how to migrate from Fathom to Fireflies starts with connecting your Fathom account to the Fireflies Import Data tool, which copies your recordings over for you.

Why Move from Fathom to Fireflies?

Nothing about the acquisition forces your hand today, and knowing how to migrate from Fathom to Fireflies simply keeps your options open. Fathom has said nothing changes today for its users, with the same app, login, and product experience, giving you time to decide when to switch from Fathom to Fireflies. Our breakdown of what the acquisition means covers the business side of the deal. For a product comparison, see Fireflies vs Fathom.

When you start figuring out how to leave Fathom, your first concern is probably the calls already in your library. You can copy your Fathom library into Fireflies before you make the switch.

Once your archive is safe, Fireflies gives your meeting data a broader home. Fireflies is the #1 AI Teammate for meetings, email, Slack, CRM, and work. It also transcribes your calls in 100+ languages, with 99% accuracy in English, 95% in other languages. Our roundup of meeting transcription software covers more options across the category.

If your team lives in Google Meet, follow our guide on how to transcribe Google Meet. On Microsoft Teams, you can learn how to take meeting notes in Microsoft Teams.

Your notes can then flow into 100+ integrations, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Jira, Asana, and Notion. Fireflies vs Fathom covers the features side by side, while our Fathom review and alternatives roundup can help you explore other options.

Fireflies also imports calls from Grain, Read.ai, Granola, Otter, Gong, and Chorus. If you’re consolidating meeting tools, you can bring more of your archive into one place. Teams moving from Otter can follow our guide on how to import Otter transcripts into Fireflies.

If you also use Granola, our Granola vs Fireflies comparison lays out the differences. Coming from Read.ai, you can start with Fireflies vs Read.ai. When your sales team runs on Gong, see why Fireflies makes the best Gong alternative.

What Transfers from Fathom

As you learn how to migrate from Fathom to Fireflies, you'll want to know what comes along. The Fireflies import brings over:

• Fathom calls and recordings
• Complete transcripts with speaker information
• Call metadata and timestamps
• Audio files
• Call notes and participant information

When you migrate Fathom recordings with their timestamps intact, you can jump straight to the moment a client mentioned a renewal date. Speaker labels also keep older conversations easy to search, even months after the call. The import brings over audio, not video. If you need the video from a specific call, download it from Fathom as an MP4 before you close your account.

Once your calls arrive, you can review AI-generated summaries to revisit each conversation without writing a meeting summary yourself. How many summaries you get depends on your plan.

You also choose how much of your archive to bring over. When you import Fathom into Fireflies as an individual, you move your own calls, and a Team migration brings calls from your entire workspace.

How to Migrate, Step by Step

If you've wondered how to leave Fathom without a folder full of downloads, you can relax. Fireflies pulls each call straight from your account, and the steps below show exactly how to migrate from Fathom to Fireflies.

Before you start, you need an active Fireflies account, your Fathom team domain, and three Fathom authentication cookies. The Import Data feature may require activation from Fireflies Support.

How to Find Your Fathom Cookies

1. Log in to Fathom in your browser.
2. Open Developer Tools with Cmd + Option + I on Mac or F12 on Windows.
3. In Chrome or Edge, go to Application > Cookies > https://fathom.video. In Firefox, go to Storage > Cookies > https://fathom.video.
4. Right-click _fathom_session, cf_clearance, and XSRF-TOKEN, and choose Copy value for each.
5. Find your team domain in your Fathom URL, and copy only the team name. For example, if your URL is company.fathom.video, your team domain is "company."

Is Migrating from Fathom to Fireflies Free and Safe?

Yes, you can migrate your Fathom library for free, and the import only reads your Fathom account. The import copies your calls into Fireflies without changing your Fathom account. Your cookies expire naturally, and Fireflies does not store them permanently. The migration itself is free, but imported calls count toward your plan's storage. The free plan includes 800 minutes per seat, Pro includes 8,000 minutes per seat, and Business and Enterprise include unlimited storage. If your Fathom library is large, switchers get 50% off paid plans for their first 3 months.

Fireflies also checks for duplicate calls during the import. You can delete imported calls from Fireflies at any time.

On the Enterprise plan, you can set an auto-delete period from one week to one year, after which Fireflies automatically deletes your meetings, recordings, and transcripts. The setting applies to meetings recorded after you turn it on. Without one, your data stays in Fireflies until you delete it manually, which you can do on any plan.

Fireflies also states, “Fireflies.ai does not use customer data to train any AI models. Your personal data is never used to train AI models. Users own their data.” Fireflies is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant on every plan, including Free. HIPAA and FERPA are available on Enterprise with a signed BAA or DSA and Private Storage enabled.

If you plan to import Fathom into Fireflies but cannot find Import Data under Settings, request access first. Open the purple Help widget in the bottom-right corner of your Fireflies dashboard and contact the support team about enabling the feature for your workspace.

What Can You Do in Fireflies After Migrating from Fathom?

Your first win after you switch from Fathom to Fireflies may come with a simple question. AskFred searches every conversation in your workspace, including imported Fathom calls, and points you to the meetings behind its answers. You can also ask it to draft a follow-up email or meeting recap from last week’s calls.

From there, AI Skills handle 200+ meeting automations. They can update your CRM, score candidates, and pull key meeting takeaways from individual meetings or scheduled weekly runs.

Your work beyond meetings comes along, too. The Fireflies Email Assistant works inside Gmail or Outlook, labels incoming mail, and drops draft replies into each thread for your review. Nothing goes out until you hit send. When a thread goes quiet, it drafts a follow-up, and our list of AI tools to automate follow-up emails shows where it fits.

If your team works in Slack, the Fireflies Slack Assistant brings the same workflow into your workspace. It summarizes your conversations, searches your meeting data in real time, and answers your questions without leaving Slack.

Paid plans add Voice Agents for screening interviews, discovery calls, and customer support conversations. For in-person conversations, the Mobile App can record meetings on the go, while the Desktop App captures calls without a bot. On Pro, Business, and Enterprise, Fireflies also captures meeting video for future calls. Fireflies Talk adds unlimited dictation on every Fireflies plan, including the free plan. Hold Fn on Mac or Ctrl + Win on Windows to dictate into any app. You can also start with the permanent Fireflies free plan and upgrade when you need more.

Take Your Fathom History With You

Your recorded calls hold months of decisions, promises, and details worth keeping. When you know how to migrate from Fathom to Fireflies, you can bring your transcripts and call history into one workspace and keep working with them.

Once the import finishes, AskFred can search your earlier conversations alongside new ones. Your next question about a client or project can reach back to a call from months ago, without sending you hunting through an old Fathom archive.

Frequently Asked Questions About How to Migrate from Fathom to Fireflies

How long does the migration take?

The migration takes as long as your call library needs. Gathering credentials takes about 10 minutes, while the time to migrate Fathom recordings from a large library can stretch to several hours. Wait at least 10 minutes before assuming a slow import has stalled.

Can I use Fathom during the migration?

Yes, you can use Fathom normally during the migration. The import only reads and copies your data, and it never changes anything in your Fathom account. You can keep recording, reviewing, and sharing calls in Fathom while Fireflies works through your library in parallel.

What happens if the migration stops?

If the migration stops, you can safely restart it, and Fireflies resumes where it left off. When a cookie expires mid-import, copy fresh cookies from Fathom and start the migration again. Your progress carries over, and the migration page shows the current stage along with any import issues.

Will migrating twice duplicate my calls?

Running the migration twice won't duplicate your calls. Fireflies detects calls it already imported and skips them automatically. You can rerun the import after fixing an error, such as an expired cookie, and your library stays clean without any manual cleanup afterward.

Do I need technical knowledge to migrate?

No, you need no technical knowledge to migrate. Your Fathom login cookies, your Fathom team domain, and an active Fireflies account cover everything you need to import Fathom into Fireflies. The step-by-step help guide shows you where to find each cookie in your browser.

Will migrating delete my Fathom data?

Migrating leaves your Fathom data exactly where it is. The import is read-only, meaning Fireflies copies your calls, transcripts, and notes without editing or removing anything in Fathom. Your original account stays intact after every call arrives in Fireflies.

Will my whole Fathom library fit on the free plan?

It depends on the size of your library. The migration is free, but imported calls use your plan's storage. The free plan includes 800 minutes per seat, Pro includes 8,000 minutes per seat, and Business and Enterprise include unlimited storage.

Can I export my data from Fathom?

Yes. Inside Fathom, you can download a recording as an MP4 from the meeting's three-dot menu, or copy a transcript with Copy Transcript, one meeting at a time. To move your whole library without downloading files, use the Fireflies Import Data tool, which copies your calls, transcripts, audio files, and notes in one run.

Is it free to migrate from Fathom to Fireflies?

Imported calls count toward your plan's storage: the free plan includes 800 minutes per seat, Pro includes 8,000 minutes per seat, and Business and Enterprise include unlimited storage. If your Fathom library is large, Fathom switchers get 50% off paid plans for their first 3 months.
