Choose a destination and check permissions before sending Granola notes out. Slack works on every plan. Notion, HubSpot, Attio, Affinity, and Zapier require Business or Enterprise. MCP connects AI assistants on every plan, with limits on Basic. The API and webhooks require Business.
When you need this
- Teams want meeting notes in a CRM, a wiki, a task tracker, or an AI assistant without copying them by hand.
- Someone has built a script against Granola's local files or private endpoints.
- An admin needs to know which keys and connectors can read which notes.
Evaluation criteria
Plan gates
Which connections does each plan include?
Look forBasic includes Slack. Business and Enterprise include Notion, Zapier, HubSpot, Attio, and Affinity. Salesforce requires Enterprise or Zapier. Zapier works on paid plans from desktop apps. HubSpot requires a Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account.
Notion and Slack
Will notes reach the right page or channel without manual steps?
Look forSlack posts a link and summary for one note or every note added to a folder. It posts only to Slack channels. Notion receives one note at a time in a database Granola creates. It has no automatic or bulk sync.
CRMs
Do customer notes land on the right record?
Look forChoose sync folders before reps capture calls. HubSpot sends notes to matching contacts, companies, or deals. Attio matches people, companies, and deals. Affinity sends notes to its matching records.
MCP for AI assistants
What can Claude, ChatGPT, or Claude Code read through Granola MCP?
Look forMCP uses browser sign-in as the individual user and stays within the active workspace. Basic reaches personal notes from the last 30 days. Business reaches personal and public notes. Enterprise admins choose scopes and can use Enterprise-Managed Authorization through the identity provider. ProxyLoom uses MCP to let Claude pull client meeting context.
API and webhooks
Which keys can read which notes, and who manages them?
Look forPersonal API keys are scoped to personal or public notes. Admins manage workspace keys, which never expire. Those keys read public notes and spaces with API access on, the default for new spaces. Business and Enterprise include webhooks. Enterprise admins choose which scopes members can use.
Governance: watch the connections
Can you see how keys and MCP are being used?
Look forOn Enterprise, the Audit API records API key use and MCP tool calls. Replace unofficial scripts with the API. One builder reverse engineered the desktop app before the API existed. Another lost sync when Granola encrypted its local database.
Questions to ask vendors
- Which spaces have Allow Granola API access on today, and which workspace keys can read them?
- Do we need Salesforce natively on Enterprise, or will a Zapier workflow do?
- Which MCP clients may connect, and should Enterprise-Managed Authorization replace individual sign-in?
- Who owns each Zapier workflow and webhook endpoint when its creator leaves?
Red flags
- Scripts that read Granola's local database or private endpoints while bypassing the API.
- Workspace API keys created without a named owner, since they do not expire.
- Customer folders syncing to the CRM before reps have checked the notes.
- MCP used on a Basic plan for work older than 30 days, which it cannot reach.
