What Granola Integrates With on Each Plan

Granola integrates with your desktop meeting software by capturing local system audio rather than routing an automated bot into your call.

At Layer3Labs, we build workflow automations and CRM integrations for small and mid-sized teams. The failure mode we hit most often is a note tool that cannot reach the team's calendar or CRM.

Granola works across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet on desktop, and syncs with Google and cloud Microsoft 365 Outlook calendars. It sends notes to Slack on every plan and to Notion and HubSpot on Business.

Zoom, Teams, Meet, and Outlook Compatibility

Granola works with any meeting application running on macOS or Windows because Granola captures your computer's system audio and microphone instead of sending a bot into the call.

You can take notes on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, and internet calling tools without installing an integration or admitting a bot. Cisco Webex is not explicitly named on Granola documentation pages, but Granola captures any audio stream playing through your computer. Desktop capture requires a computer running macOS 14 or higher or Windows.

Calendar connectivity depends strictly on cloud hosting. Granola syncs with Google Calendar and cloud-based Microsoft 365 calendars using Exchange Online. Granola does not connect to Apple Calendar, and on-premises Microsoft Exchange servers are not supported. If your corporate calendar lives on local servers behind a private firewall, Granola cannot read your meeting schedule.

Mobile and browser environments operate under narrower rules. Granola provides mobile applications on iOS and Android for in-person conversations and outbound phone calls on iPhone, but mobile apps cannot transcribe virtual meeting calls. For Google Meet on desktop, installing the Granola Chrome extension enables speaker identification tags and automated in-meeting chat notices. The web interface at notes.granola.ai serves only for viewing and editing existing notes, and cannot capture or transcribe meetings.

• Conferencing apps: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, and desktop Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) audio.
• Calendar systems: Google Calendar and cloud Microsoft 365 Exchange Online; Apple Calendar and on-premises Exchange are unsupported.
• Mobile capabilities: in-person meetings and outbound iOS calls only, with no virtual meetings.
• Browser tools: Chrome extension delivers Google Meet chat notices and speaker tags; web app is view and edit only.

Native Integrations and Plan Requirements

Granola gates its native integrations across three plan tiers, offering Slack to all users while reserving database and customer relationship management connections for paid workspaces.

As of October 2026, the Granola pricing page lists Basic at $0, Business at $14 and Enterprise at $35 per user per month. The billing documentation words Enterprise as from $35. Every member in a workspace shares the same subscription tier.

Slack is included on every plan, so Basic users can post meeting notes to Slack. Connecting your notes to databases requires upgrading to Business. Business adds Notion, HubSpot, Attio, Affinity and Zapier, plus a workspace-wide dictionary and unlimited meeting history.

Enterprise plans introduce administrative controls to govern team connections, Single Sign-On (SSO) for teams with 50 or more users, and audit logging. Granola publishes contradictory guidance regarding Salesforce. The Granola pricing page lists Salesforce as an Enterprise-only advanced integration. In contrast, the official Granola integrations directory illustrates Salesforce workflows routed through Zapier on the Business plan. Granola's audit events reference also lists an integration.salesforce_connected event, which suggests a native Salesforce connection exists. Confirm the plan on the pricing page before you buy for Salesforce.

• Basic ($0): Native Slack integration and 30-day note accessibility.
• Business ($14 per user monthly): Native Notion, HubSpot, Attio, Affinity, and Zapier connections.
• Enterprise ($35 per user monthly): Admin connector governance, SSO, audit logging, and direct advanced integrations.
• Salesforce status: Listed as Enterprise-only in pricing tables, but supported on Business via Zapier.

Extended Workflow Reach Through Zapier

The Zapier integration connects Granola to more than 8,000 external applications, allowing teams on Business or Enterprise tiers to pass structured meeting data into downstream productivity software.

Zapier sends Granola notes to apps Granola has no native connector for, so nobody copies notes over by hand after a call.

Sales teams use Zapier to pass customer context into Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms beyond HubSpot and Attio. Zapier connections send notes to Pipedrive, Gainsight and Mailchimp. For Salesforce users on the Business plan, Zapier can create Contacts, Opportunities, and follow-up Tasks directly from your meeting takeaways.

Product and engineering organizations route Granola action items into project trackers. Granola's integrations page lists Zapier connections to Asana, ClickUp, Linear, Monday.com, Trello, Jira and GitHub, so action items can become tickets. Documentation workflows can also append raw notes or summaries to cloud files in Google Docs, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Microsoft OneNote.

• CRM workflows: Populate Pipedrive deals, Salesforce opportunities and tasks, and Gainsight client updates.
• Project ticketing: Convert meeting action items into tasks across Linear, Jira, Asana, ClickUp, and GitHub.
• Document archives: Automatically export call summaries into Google Drive folders, OneDrive directories, and OneNote notebooks.
• Access requirement: Requires a Granola Business or Enterprise workspace to connect Zapier API triggers.

Technical Extensibility With Model Context Protocol and REST API

Granola provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and a REST Application Programming Interface (API) to bridge meeting transcripts into custom developer environments and large language models.

Granola launched its MCP server on February 4, 2026, enabling AI clients like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Microsoft 365 Copilot to search and query your meeting records. Basic plans access personal notes created within the previous 30 days. Business accounts can search unlimited historical notes and public workspace folders. On Enterprise, admins choose personal notes, public notes, both or neither, and can switch off meeting transcripts. The MCP server connects at https://mcp.granola.ai/mcp using Streamable HTTP transport and OAuth 2.0 authentication. For setup details, review our Granola MCP guide.

The REST API serves organizations building bespoke data pipelines. On Business and Enterprise, any member can create a personal API key in the desktop app to query https://public-api.granola.ai/v1/notes, and admins manage workspace API keys. The API returns notes that carry generated AI summaries and transcripts. Rate limits enforce a burst capacity of 25 requests and a sustained rate of 5 requests per second, which equals 300 requests per minute. Our Granola API guide covers keys, limits and first requests.

Enterprise workspaces gain access to an Audit API. Administrators can create dedicated keys to monitor security events over a rolling 12-month window. The audit feed tracks transcription start times, document access, transcript views, and MCP tool invocations.

• MCP access: Available on all plans; connects Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to meeting notes via OAuth 2.0.
• REST API: Business and Enterprise plans; programmatic access to summaries, folders, and transcripts at 5 requests per second.
• Audit API: Enterprise-only; tracks administrative events, user logins, and transcript access across the workspace.
• Webhooks: Business and Enterprise plans support webhook subscriptions for automated event dispatch.

Speaker Names and Consent Notices by Platform

Granola handles participant identification, meeting notices, and screen capture differently depending on your operating system and video conferencing provider.

On macOS and Windows, Granola delivers speaker tags for Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams calls. Granola assigns names to each part of the transcript instead of Me and Them. On mobile apps, Granola labels voices as Speaker A and Speaker B.

Meeting transparency features help teams disclose AI transcription to call participants. Granola can post an automated notice into the meeting chat; on Google Meet that needs the Granola Chrome extension. On desktop Zoom and Microsoft Teams, Granola delivers chat notifications natively. On Slack huddles, automated thread notifications work only on macOS.

Visual documentation features also depend on your operating system. Granola includes a screen snapshot utility that captures shared presentation slides during active meetings. This feature requires macOS 14 or later and is completely unavailable on Windows.

• Speaker tags: Active on macOS and Windows for Zoom, Teams, and Meet; mobile defaults to Speaker A and Speaker B.
• Automated chat notices: Zoom and Teams work natively on desktop; Google Meet requires the Chrome extension.
• Slack huddle notices: Granola posts automated notifications into huddle threads on macOS only.
• Screen snapshots: Visual capture of shared presentation slides requires macOS 14+ and does not function on Windows.

Unsupported Configurations and Workflow Limitations

The setups below do not work with Granola today.

Granola syncs with Google Calendar and cloud Microsoft 365 Exchange Online, but offers no integration for Apple Calendar. Organizations hosting private email servers on on-premises Exchange cannot connect calendars to Granola. Pre-meeting briefs need Google Calendar specifically. If your team runs on Apple Calendar or on-premises Exchange, compare options in our best AI note-takers roundup.

Audio ingestion has rigid constraints. Granola does not allow users to upload pre-recorded audio files, such as MP3 or WAV recordings from voice memos or legacy dialers. Mobile transcription cannot record incoming phone calls or virtual video meetings on iOS or Android. Phone recording on mobile is restricted entirely to outbound calls initiated through the iOS application.

Email and sharing workflows also contain platform gaps. Automated post-meeting email drafting works exclusively with Google accounts running Gmail; Microsoft Outlook email drafting is not supported. Outlook users can still use Send notes via email, which opens an Outlook draft. Sharing notes directly into external integrations like Notion, Slack, and HubSpot requires the desktop application and cannot be executed from mobile devices. Granola's platform list names macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, with no Linux app listed.

• Calendars: no Apple Calendar or on-premises Exchange.
• No audio imports: Pre-recorded audio files, podcasts, and external recordings cannot be uploaded.
• Mobile call limitations: Inbound phone calls and mobile virtual conference calls cannot be transcribed.
• Email integration gap: Automated follow-up drafts support Gmail only; Microsoft Outlook email is unsupported.
• Platform gaps: Granola lists no Linux app; sharing to integrations needs the desktop app.

Team Architecture Scenarios and Recommendations

Matching Granola to your software stack requires balancing calendar providers, conferencing tools, and your downstream system of record.

For sales organizations running Zoom and HubSpot, the Business plan ($14 per user monthly) provides an optimal fit. Granola captures local system audio on Mac or Windows without introducing a meeting bot into prospect conversations. It syncs with Google Calendar to surface upcoming calls and sends notes to HubSpot through the native integration. This setup keeps CRM records updated while preserving call privacy.

For corporate enterprises standardized on Microsoft Teams and Outlook, setup requires confirming your calendar infrastructure. Your organization must host mailboxes on cloud Microsoft 365, as on-premises Exchange servers cannot connect. Windows and Mac desktop apps capture Teams audio, and teams can route action items into Microsoft tools like OneDrive and OneNote by connecting Zapier on the Business tier.

For product teams using Google Meet and Notion, Granola works with Meet once you add the Chrome extension. Installing the extension enables speaker attribution and meeting chat notifications during Meet video calls. On the Business plan, Granola sends summaries to Notion, while the Granola MCP server lets engineers query past discussions inside Claude or Cursor.

Granola is the wrong pick if your team needs Apple Calendar, on-premises Exchange, Linux or audio-file uploads; start with our best AI note-takers roundup instead. For Salesforce teams, our answer changes once Granola's pricing and integrations pages agree on which plan includes Salesforce.

• Zoom + HubSpot: Choose Business; capture calls without bots, sync Google Calendar, and push notes to HubSpot.
• Teams + Outlook: needs Exchange Online; send to OneNote via Zapier.
• Google Meet + Notion: Install the Chrome extension for speaker attribution; use Business for direct Notion database sync.
• Custom LLM stacks: Connect the MCP server across all plans to search meeting history directly within Claude or ChatGPT.
