# Vimeo Integration — Practical Implementation Guide

### Introduction

This guide provides a narrative walkthrough for integrating Vimeo with the RAIA agent. The primary objective of this integration is to synchronize video transcripts from your Vimeo account directly into the AI Agent's knowledge base. This connection allows the agent to access the content of your videos, enabling it to support automated workflows and provide more comprehensive, context-aware responses based on your video library.

### The Integration Process Overview

The integration is built on a streamlined Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) framework. The process begins with the **extraction** of video transcripts from a specified folder in your Vimeo account using the Vimeo API. This transcript data is then **transformed** into a structured JSON format. A key part of this stage is leveraging the Manus API to generate a derivative knowledge base, which enriches the raw transcript data. Finally, the processed information is **loaded** into a PostgreSQL data lake hosted on Supabase. The RAIA agent accesses this data, and the entire workflow is automated to run monthly, ensuring the agent's knowledge remains current.

### Roles and Responsibilities

Two key roles are essential for a successful integration. The **n8n Workflow Developer** is responsible for configuring and deploying the n8n workflow that powers the ETL process. The **RAIA Agent Engineer** provides support by assisting with the agent's configuration and ensuring the synchronized data is correctly ingested and utilized by the AI.For more technical details on the n8n-Vimeo connection, you can refer to the native n8n integration documentation at <https://n8n.io/integrations/vimeo/>.

#### Phase 1: Planning and Preparation

The initial phase, typically requiring 2-4 hours, is dedicated to planning the integration. The Workflow Developer will start by generating a Vimeo API access token with the necessary `video_files` and `public` scopes. A critical step in this phase is to identify the specific folder containing the videos to be synced. The developer then maps the video transcript content to the target schema of the data lake. This planning stage concludes with the creation of an integration architecture diagram, a list of required APIs and credentials, and a risk mitigation plan.

#### Phase 2: Data Extraction and Transformation

This phase, estimated to take 3-5 hours, focuses on the technical implementation of the data extraction and transformation. The Workflow Developer will configure a single, comprehensive `Vimeo Transcripts ETL` workflow. This workflow is responsible for fetching video transcripts from the specified folder in Vimeo. Within the workflow, data shaping logic is applied to convert the raw transcript data into a structured JSON format, and the Manus API is used to generate a derivative knowledge base. The deliverable for this phase is the completed n8n workflow and a sample of the transformed JSON data for validation.

#### Phase 3: Loading, Automation, and Synchronization

The final phase, requiring approximately 3-5 hours, involves loading the data and activating the automated synchronization. The `Vimeo Transcripts ETL` workflow is configured to orchestrate the entire process. It uses an "upsert" operation to efficiently load the transformed data into the PostgreSQL database. Once the data is loaded, the Raia API is triggered to process the new information and add it to its vector store. The process concludes by scheduling the workflow to run automatically each month. The final deliverables include the completed workflow, confirmation of a successful data load, and the configured monthly execution schedule.
