Zentrik

Zentrik + Granola

Bring selected Granola notes and transcripts into Discovery as reviewed, traceable signal.

Admins save one workspace credential in Settings → Integrations.

Granola connects with a workspace API key saved by an admin. Zentrik uses that key server-side to list API-accessible folders and notes, preview the combined note and transcript text, and import only the notes you select.

An owner or admin can also add a personal API key for their own manual review. Personal access adds notes the workspace key cannot see, stays scoped to that Zentrik user, and is never used by scheduled imports. Notes visible through both keys are deduplicated before review.

Use this integration when meeting notes already live in Granola and your product team wants selected customer conversations to become durable Discovery evidence. Imported Granola notes become Discovery signals first, then run through the normal signal-to-insight workflow.

Before you connect

Choose the key type intentionally. Granola controls what each key can list, preview, and import:

  • A workspace key covers notes and folders Granola exposes to that workspace credential. It does not represent every private note in Granola.
  • A personal key covers notes available to that Granola user and is appropriate only for explicit manual review.

Before saving the key:

  1. Confirm the notes are visible to the workspace or personal key you will connect.
  2. Confirm your team is allowed to bring those conversations into Zentrik for product discovery.
  3. Decide the first import window and, when helpful, the Granola folders to limit the review list.

Connect Granola

Create the integration in Settings -> Integrations -> Granola and paste a Granola API key with access to the notes your product team should import.

Workspace API key

  1. Open Granola.
  2. Go to Settings -> Connectors -> API keys.
  3. Create a workspace key with the note access this Zentrik workspace should use.
  4. In Zentrik, open Settings -> Integrations -> Granola.
  5. Paste the API key and save.

Secrets are stored server-side; Zentrik does not show them again after save. Rotate the key in Granola and update Zentrik if the key may have been exposed.

Granola reference: Granola API documentation.

Personal access

From the Granola import dialog, choose Add my notes and paste your personal Granola API key. Zentrik validates the key, stores it server-side on your user-scoped integration account, and includes its notes only in your manual review.

Removing personal access deletes that user-scoped credential from the Zentrik workspace. It does not change the shared workspace connection or scheduled imports.

How to use it

Open Discovery, click New, choose Bring in data, and select Granola. Pick a date range, optionally add your personal access, optionally choose workspace folders, then review the matching notes before importing. Workspace admins can also configure periodic workspace-folder imports from Settings -> Integrations -> Granola.

Import notes

  1. Choose the date range that contains the conversations you want to evaluate.
  2. Optionally add your personal access when the workspace key does not cover the notes you need.
  3. Optionally choose one or more workspace folders. Folder filters do not restrict the personal source.
  4. Click Scan notes.
  5. Review the unique results and their access source. Already-imported notes are marked.
  6. Preview a note when you need to confirm it contains useful product signal.
  7. Select only the ready notes that should become Discovery signals.
  8. Click Import selected.

After import, Zentrik stores the Granola note summary, transcript text, owner/calendar metadata, folder metadata, and source link when Granola provides one. The signal then processes in the background so insights can be proposed and traced back to the original meeting.

Schedule folder imports

  1. Open Settings -> Integrations -> Granola.
  2. In Periodic signal import, turn on the schedule.
  3. Choose one or more Granola folders. The schedule only imports notes from those folders.
  4. Choose the destination product for new signals.
  5. Optionally match accounts only when a Granola attendee email exactly matches a saved account contact. Choose whether notes without a match should import unlinked or wait for manual review.
  6. Save changes.

Workspace admins own source, routing, and matching rules. Platform administrators own the shared workspace cadence. The first run, and the first run after workspace folders change, reconciles the previous 30 days. Later runs scan notes updated during an overlapping 24-hour window, so a zero-result run cannot create a strict cursor gap. The integration shows the last run, errors, and import counts so admins can confirm that the policy is working.

For workspace admins

  • One workspace key keeps scheduled imports centralized.
  • Optional personal keys are user-scoped, manual-only, and deduplicated with workspace results by Granola note ID.
  • Workspace admins choose folders, destination product, and deterministic account-linking behavior. The shared workspace cadence is configured by platform administrators.
  • Account matching uses exact attendee-email matches against saved account contacts. Zentrik does not infer accounts from meeting titles or email domains.
  • The connected key controls what Zentrik can list, preview, and import. “All” means all notes visible to the selected API access, not every note in Granola.
  • The key remains server-side. Users importing from Discovery do not see the secret.
  • Granola note visibility, sharing, and retention remain the source of truth. If a note is not available to the connected key, Zentrik cannot import it.
  • For sensitive conversations, confirm consent and internal data policy before importing notes into Discovery.

Troubleshooting

Check credentials and permissions on both sides first. If you have verified everything and it still fails, contact us with your workspace name and what you tried.

Zentrik cannot connect the API key

Confirm the key is active in Granola, includes access to notes, and was copied without spaces. Then save the integration again.

A note is missing from the import list

Confirm the selected Granola key can access the note, widen the date range, and clear any workspace-folder selection. If the note is private, add the appropriate personal key. Granola only returns summarized, transcribed notes available to the key.

The preview is empty

Refresh the list and try again. If the note still has no summary or transcript text available through Granola, it cannot be imported as useful Discovery evidence yet.
