Gong call fetch error "transcript not available yet" meeting brief incomplete

TL;DR

Fix this in Gong call fetch by acting on the exact message first: treat the transcript not available response as a pending state instead of a final failure, poll Gong with backoff until the transcript status is complete, and only build the brief section once the transcript arrives or flag that section as pending after the wait window. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in Gong call fetch fails with this exact message: Gong call fetch error "transcript not available yet" meeting brief incomplete.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A call, review or send is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in Gong call fetch, and copy the full message plus the account, contact or meeting involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: treat the transcript not available response as a pending state instead of a final failure, poll Gong with backoff until the transcript status is complete, and only build the brief section once the transcript arrives or flag that section as pending after the wait window. Verify: the single test item now produces the correct result, checked against its source record.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same template, integration, source or account, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts and key values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in Gong call fetch on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Gong processes recordings asynchronously, so a fetch made minutes after the call ends returns a not ready message, and a brief builder that reads it once freezes that temporary state into an incomplete brief.

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: Gong call fetch at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.
