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:
Granola Folder Slack Channel Auto-Post
Sales Calls #sales-notes On
Engineering #eng-meetings On
All Hands #general On
1-on-1s (none) Off

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:

Trigger Description
Note Added to Granola Folder Auto-fires when any note is added to a specific folder
Note Shared to Zapier Fires when you manually share a note to Zapier

Popular Zapier recipes:

Recipe Trigger → Action
Notes to Google Drive Note Added → Google Drive: Upload File
Action items to Asana Note Shared → Asana: Create Task
Summary to email Note Added → Gmail: Send Email
Notes to Salesforce Note Shared → Salesforce: Create Note
Digest to Teams Note Added → Microsoft Teams: Post Message

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

Integration Error Fix
Slack "Channel not found" Channel may be renamed; verify name and invite Granola bot
Notion "Cannot share" Reconnect Notion; Granola's database may have been deleted
HubSpot "No matching contact" Create the contact in HubSpot first, then re-share
Attio "Record not found" Verify attendee email matches an Attio Person record
Zapier "Trigger not firing" Reconnect Granola in Zapier; check folder name matches exactly
All "Authorization expired" Disconnect and reconnect the integration in Settings
