How do I sync my Granola notes to a Google Doc without copy-pasting manually?

Google Docs is not a native destination. Granola routes to Google Docs, Drive, OneDrive and OneNote through Zapier, so you build the automation there. Native pushes are limited to Notion, Slack, Gmail, HubSpot, Attio and Affinity.

Granola

Bot-free AI meeting notes for recruiters living in back-to-back calls

What is Granola?

Granola is an AI meeting notepad that captures intake calls, screens and interview debriefs from your computer's own audio, with no bot joining the call. A meeting in Granola is your typed notes merged with the transcript into an enhanced note plus action items, and every past meeting stays queryable through chat. It stores that meeting history and nothing else: there is no ATS connector anywhere in its integration list, so candidate records and pipeline stages live in whatever system you already run. Notes push natively to HubSpot, Attio, Affinity, Slack and Notion, and reach Salesforce and other CRMs through Zapier.

Features

What are Granola's key features?

Captures meetings from your computer's audio, so no bot joins the interview call.

Enhanced notes merge what you typed with the transcript into notes and action items.

Granola Chat answers questions across past meetings and drafts follow-up emails.

Native pushes to HubSpot, Attio and Affinity; Salesforce and the rest go via Zapier.

No ATS connectors, and API access starts on the paid Business tier.

Use Cases

How do recruiting teams use Granola?

An in-house TA lead uses Granola to capture intake calls with hiring managers without a bot joining, then pulls the role brief straight from the notes.
A boutique agency's BD team uses Granola to push client call notes into HubSpot or Attio natively, so account history survives past the call.
A multi-desk agency recruiter uses Granola Chat across past screens to recall what a candidate said, since there is no ATS connector to check.

Fit

Who is Granola best for?

Recruiters in back-to-back intake calls, screens and debriefs who want no bot in the room
Agency recruiters running client calls into HubSpot, Attio or Affinity natively
Teams fine routing notes to an ATS through Zapier, since Granola connects to none directly
