This trigger is just unreliable honestly, you're not alone on this one.

The way it works is Teams has to send a system message when the transcript is ready but sometimes it just doesn't, especially if nobody's chatting in the meeting after it ends. So the trigger never fires.

Before anything else, make sure transcription was actually started during the meeting it doesn't turn on automatically. And your tenant admin has to enable it too, otherwise nobody can record transcripts at all.

But even with all that sorted, honestly just ditch this trigger. Use "When a file is created in a folder" on the OneDrive Recordings folder instead — that fires reliably when the transcript file lands. For channel meetings it goes to SharePoint, for private meetings it's OneDrive.

Hello ZS-20050201-0,
Quick checklist for why "When a transcript is available" may not be firing:

Licensing — The User ID must have Teams Premium or Copilot for M365; otherwise, the trigger will never fire.

Organizer match — If Scope = User, the User ID has to be the meeting organizer.

Real transcript — Be sure to click Start transcription during the meeting, not just Record. A 32s test is too short, so try a 2–3 min meeting with speech.

Tenant policy — Check that AllowTranscription = True is set in the Teams meeting policy for that user.

Connection — Re-authenticate the Teams connection; stale tokens can silently drop the Graph subscription.

Flow is On — Verify it under Overview → Turn on (no runs doesn’t necessarily mean the trigger fired).

Verify via Graph Explorer as the user:
GET /v1.0/users/{id}/onlineMeetings/getAllTranscripts(meetingOrganizerUserId='{id}')

403 → licensing issue

Empty → transcript not actually produced

Returns data but flow silent → delete & recreate the trigger

In your case, the most likely issues are a missing Teams Premium license and/or a test meeting that was too short.
