Automate Granola Meeting Notes to Slack AI Summaries

Automatically post AI-summarized Granola meeting notes to Slack - so your team stays aligned without reading every note.

Stop manually copying meeting notes from Granola into Slack. Use this template to automatically monitor your Granola meeting notes, generate a concise AI summary, and post it to the right Slack channel - complete with key decisions, action items, and a link back to the full notes.

Whether you're running recurring team standups, client calls, or cross-functional syncs, this template keeps your team aligned automatically the moment a meeting ends and notes are ready.

How this template works

This template monitors Granola for new meeting notes and posts AI summaries to Slack. Here's the process:

A new meeting note is added to your configured Granola folder after a meeting ends.
The Zap detects the new note and sends it through an AI step to generate a focused 3-sentence summary.
The summary highlights the meeting purpose, key decisions made, and next steps.
A structured Slack message is posted to your designated channel with the summary and a link to the full Granola notes.
Attendee details and meeting date are included in the Slack post for full context.

Once your Zaps are published, the workflow runs automatically - no manual steps needed.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Granola account to use this template?

Yes. Granola must be connected to Zapier using the Granola integration. Granola currently supports two trigger types: new note added to a folder, and meeting note sent to Zapier.

Can I filter which meetings get shared to Slack?

Yes. You can configure keyword filtering in the Zap to only process meeting notes whose titles contain specific terms - so your 1:1s and sensitive discussions stay private.

What does the AI summary include?

By default the summary covers three elements: the purpose of the meeting, key decisions made, and the next steps identified. The format is designed for fast scanning in Slack.

Can I use a different AI model for the summary?

Yes. The template uses GPT-4o-mini by default via AI by Zapier. You can switch to a different model or bring your own OpenAI API key in the Zap editor.
