Granola CI Integration

Overview

Build automated pipelines that process Granola meeting notes into development artifacts: GitHub Issues from action items, Linear tasks with team routing, Slack digests for stakeholders, and meeting logs in your repository. Uses Zapier as the middleware between Granola and dev tools.

Prerequisites

  • Granola Business plan (for Zapier access)
  • Zapier account (Free for basic, Paid for multi-step Zaps)
  • GitHub repository with Actions enabled
  • Optional: Linear account, Slack workspace

Instructions

Step 1 — Set Up the Zapier Pipeline

# Pipeline: Granola → Zapier → GitHub + Slack + Linear

Trigger:
  App: Granola
  Event: Note Added to Granola Folder
  Folder: "Engineering"  # Only process engineering meetings

Step 2 — Parse Action Items with Zapier Code

Add a Code by Zapier step (JavaScript) to extract action items:

// Zapier Code Step — Extract action items from Granola note
const noteContent = inputData.note_content || '';
const meetingTitle = inputData.title || 'Untitled Meeting';
const meetingDate = inputData.calendar_event_datetime || new Date().toISOString();

// Extract action items: matches "- [ ] @person: task" or "- [ ] task"
const actionRegex = /- \[ \] @?(\w+):?\s+(.+)/g;
const actions = [];
let match;

while ((match = actionRegex.exec(noteContent)) !== null) {
  actions.push({
    assignee: match[1],
    task: match[2].trim(),
    meeting: meetingTitle,
    date: meetingDate.split('T')[0],
  });
}

// Extract decisions: lines starting with "- " under "## Decisions" or "## Key Decisions"
const decisionSection = noteContent.match(/## (?:Key )?Decisions\n([\s\S]*?)(?=\n##|$)/);
const decisions = decisionSection
  ? decisionSection[1].split('\n').filter(l => l.startsWith('- ')).map(l => l.replace('- ', ''))
  : [];

output = [{
  action_count: actions.length,
  actions: JSON.stringify(actions),
  decisions: decisions.join('; '),
  meeting_title: meetingTitle,
  meeting_date: meetingDate,
}];

Step 3 — Create GitHub Issues from Action Items

# For each action item, create a GitHub issue
Action:
  App: GitHub
  Event: Create Issue
  Repository: "your-org/your-repo"
  Title: "Meeting Action: {{task}} [{{date}}]"
  Body: |
    ## Context
    From meeting: **{{meeting}}** on {{date}}

    ## Task
    {{task}}

    ## Assigned To
    @{{assignee}}

    ---
    *Auto-created from Granola meeting notes*
  Labels: "meeting-action"
  Assignee: "{{assignee}}"  # Must match GitHub username

Step 4 — GitHub Actions Workflow for Meeting Logs

Create a workflow triggered by Zapier via repository_dispatch:

# .github/workflows/meeting-log.yml
name: Update Meeting Log

on:
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [granola-meeting]

jobs:
  update-log:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Append to meeting log
        run: |
          MEETING_TITLE="${{ github.event.client_payload.title }}"
          MEETING_DATE="${{ github.event.client_payload.date }}"
          DECISIONS="${{ github.event.client_payload.decisions }}"
          ACTION_COUNT="${{ github.event.client_payload.action_count }}"

          mkdir -p docs/meetings

          cat >> docs/meetings/log.md << EOF

          ## ${MEETING_DATE} — ${MEETING_TITLE}
          - **Decisions:** ${DECISIONS}
          - **Action items created:** ${ACTION_COUNT}
          - **Source:** Granola AI
          EOF

      - name: Commit and push
        run: |
          git config user.name "Granola Bot"
          git config user.email "bot@granola.ai"
          git add docs/meetings/log.md
          git commit -m "docs: meeting log — ${MEETING_DATE}" || echo "No changes"
          git push

Trigger from Zapier using the Webhooks action:

Action:
  App: Webhooks by Zapier
  Event: POST
  URL: https://api.github.com/repos/your-org/your-repo/dispatches
  Headers:
    Authorization: "Bearer {{github_pat}}"
    Accept: "application/vnd.github.v3+json"
  Body:
    event_type: "granola-meeting"
    client_payload:
      title: "{{meeting_title}}"
      date: "{{meeting_date}}"
      decisions: "{{decisions}}"
      action_count: "{{action_count}}"

Step 5 — Linear Task Creation

Action:
  App: Linear
  Event: Create Issue
  Team: Engineering
  Title: "{{task}}"
  Description: "From meeting: {{meeting}} ({{date}})\n\nAssigned: @{{assignee}}"
  Label: "meeting-action"
  Priority: "Medium"

Step 6 — Slack Notification

Action:
  App: Slack
  Event: Send Channel Message
  Channel: "#engineering-meetings"
  Message: |
    :memo: *Meeting Notes Ready:* {{meeting_title}}
    :calendar: {{meeting_date}}

    *Decisions:*
    {{decisions}}

    *Action Items Created:* {{action_count}}
    :point_right: Check Linear/GitHub for assigned tasks

Complete Pipeline Flow

Meeting ends → Granola enhances notes
  → Note added to "Engineering" folder
  → Zapier triggers
    ├→ Parse action items (Code step)
    ├→ Create GitHub Issues (per action item)
    ├→ Trigger GitHub Actions (update meeting log)
    ├→ Create Linear tasks (per action item)
    └→ Post Slack summary (#engineering-meetings)

Output

  • Action items automatically created as GitHub Issues and Linear tasks
  • Meeting log updated in repository via GitHub Actions
  • Slack summary posted to team channel
  • Full audit trail from meeting to task completion

Error Handling

ErrorCauseFix
Zapier trigger not firingNote not in the configured folderVerify folder name matches exactly
GitHub issue creation failsPAT expired or insufficient scopeRegenerate PAT with repo scope
Action items not parsedNote format doesn't match regexAdjust regex for your template's action item format
Linear API errorTeam name mismatchUse Linear team ID instead of name
Slack message emptyNote still processingAdd 2-minute delay as first Zap step

Testing Checklist

  • Schedule a test meeting with explicit action items
  • Verify note lands in the correct Granola folder
  • Confirm Zapier trigger fires (check Zap history)
  • Verify GitHub issues created with correct labels and assignees
  • Confirm meeting log committed to repository
  • Check Slack message formatting in target channel
  • Verify Linear tasks appear in correct team

Resources

  • Zapier Granola App
  • GitHub Actions: repository_dispatch
  • Linear Zapier Integration
