Granola Deploy Integration

Overview

Granola offers native integrations with Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Attio, and Affinity plus Zapier for 8,000+ additional apps. This skill covers setup, configuration, and testing for each platform. Business plan ($14/user/mo) required for all integrations.

Prerequisites

• Granola Business or Enterprise plan
• Admin access to target platforms (Slack workspace admin, Notion workspace, CRM portal)
• Integration requirements documented per team

Instructions

Integration 1 — Slack

Setup:

1. Settings (avatar bottom-left) > Integrations > Slack > Connect
2. Authorize Granola in your Slack workspace
3. Configure default channels per Granola folder:

How it works:

• After enhancing notes, click Share > Slack > select channel
• With auto-post enabled on a folder, every note in that folder posts automatically
• Slack messages include a concise summary + action items
• Recipients can ask follow-up questions via the AI Chat button in Slack

Slack Huddles support: Granola captures Slack Huddle audio the same way as Zoom/Meet — via system audio. Just ensure Granola is running and the huddle is on a synced calendar (or manually start recording).

Integration 2 — Notion

Setup:

1. Settings > Integrations > Notion > Connect
2. Authorize Granola in your Notion workspace
3. Granola creates a dedicated database on first connection

How it works:

• Click Share > Notion to send a note
• Each note becomes a row in Granola's Notion database with:
  • Title, Date, Participants, Content (full enhanced note)
• You cannot choose a custom database — Granola creates its own
• Sharing is one-at-a-time (not automatic)

Auto-sync workaround (via Zapier):

Trigger: Granola — Note Added to Folder ("All Meetings")
Action: Notion — Create Database Item
  Database: Your Custom Database
  Title: "{{title}}"
  Date: "{{calendar_event_datetime}}"
  Content: "{{note_content}}"

This bypasses the one-at-a-time limitation and lets you target any Notion database.

Integration 3 — HubSpot (Native CRM)

Setup:

1. Settings > Integrations > HubSpot > Connect
2. Authorize Granola in your HubSpot portal
3. Granola auto-matches notes to Contacts, Companies, or Deals

How it works:

• After enhancing notes, click Share > HubSpot
• Granola suggests the matching Contact/Company/Deal based on attendee emails
• Review the match and confirm — the meeting summary appears on the CRM timeline
• Sync is manual per note (you choose which notes go to HubSpot)

Limitations:

• Does not auto-create new contacts (create in HubSpot first)
• No automatic bulk sync (use Zapier for that)
• Matching requires attendee emails to exist as HubSpot contacts

Zapier auto-sync workaround:

Trigger: Granola — Note Added to Folder ("Sales Calls")
Action: HubSpot — Find Contact (by attendee email)
Action: HubSpot — Create Contact (if not found)
Action: HubSpot — Create Engagement Note on Contact
  Body: "{{note_content}}"

Integration 4 — Attio (Native CRM)

Setup:

1. Settings > Integrations > Attio > Connect
2. Granola automatically matches notes to the right Person, Company, or Deal
3. Notes appear on Attio record timelines

Attio integration works similarly to HubSpot — manual sync per note, auto-matching by attendee email.

Integration 5 — Affinity (Native CRM)

Setup:

1. Settings > Integrations > Affinity > Connect
2. Authorize access
3. Notes sync to matched Affinity records

Integration 6 — Zapier (8,000+ Apps)

Setup:

1. Create a Zapier account at zapier.com
2. Search for "Granola" in the Zapier app directory
3. Connect your Granola account via OAuth

Available triggers:

Multi-Integration Workflow

Deploy a complete meeting follow-up chain:

Meeting ends → Granola enhances notes
  → Note added to "Client Meetings" folder
    ├→ Slack: Post summary to #client-updates
    ├→ Notion: Archive full notes in Client Database
    ├→ HubSpot: Log note on matched Deal/Contact
    ├→ Linear: Create tasks from action items
    └→ Gmail: Draft follow-up email to external attendees

Configure each step as a separate Zapier action in a single multi-step Zap, or use Zapier Paths for conditional routing (internal vs. external meetings).

Output

• Native integrations connected and authorized
• Auto-post rules configured per folder/channel
• CRM sync tested with sample meeting data
• Multi-integration workflows validated end-to-end

Error Handling

Examples

artifact=sha256:opaque; env=staging; canary=synthetic-calendar; health=pass; delivery=pass; retention=none; rollback=release-r31 supports a controlled rollout.
