Granola setup

Connect to Granola

Glean supports two complementary auth modes for Granola:

• Workspace Enterprise API key (admin-set): indexes all Team space notes and makes them searchable to every workspace member.
• Per-user personal API key (user-set): each user can connect their own personal API key from Settings > Connectors, then open Granola in Glean to index their personal (My Notes) content. Personal notes are visible only to the user who connected the key.

The Enterprise API key is required. Per-user personal API keys are optional and additive.

Prerequisites

• A Granola Enterprise plan is required to use the Enterprise API.
• A workspace admin must generate an Enterprise API key.
• For per-user personal notes on Enterprise plans, a workspace administrator must first enable Allow personal API keys in Granola under Settings > Workspace. On Business plans, workspace members can generate personal API keys directly.

Step 1: Generate an Enterprise API key in Granola

1. Log in to the Granola desktop app as a workspace admin.
2. In Granola, go to Settings > Connectors > API Keys.
3. Click Create new key, select Enterprise API, generate the key, and copy it. You will need to enter this in the Glean configuration step below.

Step 2: Enter the connection details in Glean

1. In Glean, go to Admin console > Connectors > Add connector and select Granola.
2. Enter a display name for the connector.
3. Paste the Enterprise API key you copied in the previous step into the API key field.
4. (Optional) In Base URL, enter your workspace's API endpoint. If left blank, Glean uses the default: https://public-api.granola.ai/v1.
5. Click Save. Glean validates the API key by making a test request to the Granola API.

Step 3 (Optional): Connect a personal API key to index personal notes

After the workspace connection is set up, individual users who want their personal (My Notes) content to be searchable in Glean can connect their own personal Granola API key:

1. In Granola, go to Settings > Connectors > API Keys, click Create new key, select Personal API, generate the key, and copy it.
2. In Glean, open your user settings and go to Settings > Connectors, then open Granola.
3. If a Granola personal key is already connected, select Remove Credentials.
4. Enter the new personal API key and reconnect Granola.
5. Wait for the next personal-notes crawl for your notes to appear in Glean.

If your personal API key expires, you revoke it, or you generate a replacement:

1. Remove the old credentials in Glean.
2. Connect the new key.

Glean continues the workspace crawl normally, but it does not index your personal notes until you connect a valid key.
