Granola Webhooks & Events
Overview
Granola does not expose raw webhook endpoints. All event-driven automation flows through Zapier, which provides two trigger events. This skill covers the event model, webhook payload structure, event filtering, processing patterns, and building custom event handlers.
Prerequisites
Granola Business plan (for Zapier access)
Zapier account (Free for basic Zaps, Paid for multi-step)
Optional: custom webhook endpoint (Express.js, FastAPI, or serverless function)
Instructions
Step 1 — Understand the Event Model
Granola fires events through Zapier triggers, not direct webhooks. Two triggers are available:
Trigger When It Fires Use Case Note Added to Granola Folder A note is placed in a specific folder (automatic) Auto-route by meeting type Note Shared to Zapier You manually click Share > Zapier on a note Selective sharing for important meetings
Step 2 — Webhook Payload Structure
When a Zapier trigger fires, Granola sends this data:
{
"title" : "Sprint Planning — Q1 Week 12" ,
"creator_name" : "Sarah Chen" ,
"creator_email" : "sarah@company.com" ,
"attendees" : [
{ "name" : "Sarah Chen" , "email" : "sarah@company.com" } ,
{ "name" :
"Mike Johnson"
,
"email"
:
"mike@company.com"
}
,
{
"name"
:
"Alex Kim"
,
"email"
:
"alex@external.com"
}
]
,
"calendar_event_title"
:
"Sprint Planning"
,
"calendar_event_datetime"
:
"2026-03-22T10:00:00Z"
,
"note_content"
:
"## Summary\nDiscussed Q1 priorities...\n\n## Action Items\n- [ ] @sarah: Schedule design review..."
}
Key fields for filtering and routing:
attendees[].email — detect internal vs. external meetingscalendar_event_title — match meeting type patternsnote_content — search for action items, decisions, keywords
Step 3 — Event Filtering Patterns Use Zapier Filter steps to route events:
Filter: Only External Meetings
Filter: attendees.email DOES NOT contain "@company.com"
(at least one attendee has a non-company email)
Filter: Only Meetings with Action Items
Filter: note_content contains "- [ ]"
Filter: Only Sales Calls (by title keywords)
Filter: calendar_event_title contains any of: "discovery", "demo", "sales", "prospect"
Filter: Long Meetings Only (> 30 min)
Use Zapier Code step to parse calendar_event_datetime and compare to note timestamp
Step 4 — Build a Custom Webhook Handler Forward Granola events from Zapier to your own endpoint:
Trigger: Granola — Note Added to Folder ("All Meetings")
Action: Webhooks by Zapier — POST
URL: https://your-api.com/webhooks/granola
Payload Type: JSON
Data:
title: "{{title}} "
creator: "{{creator_email}} "
attendees: "{{attendees}} "
content: "{{note_content}} "
datetime: "{{calendar_event_datetime}} "
hmac: "{{your_webhook_secret}} "
import express from 'express' ;
const app = express ();
app.use (express.json ());
app.post ('/webhooks/granola' , async (req, res) => {
const { title, creator, attendees, content, datetime } = req.body ;
console .log (`Meeting received: ${title} (${datetime} )` );
const actionItems = content
.split ('\n' )
.filter (line =>match (/^- \[ \]/ ))
.map (line =>replace ('- [ ] ' , '' ));
const isExternal = attendees.some (a =>email ?.endsWith ('@company.com' ));
if (isExternal) {
await handleExternalMeeting ({ title, attendees, content, actionItems });
} else {
await handleInternalMeeting ({ title, content, actionItems });
}
res.status (200 ).json ({ processed : true , actions : actionItems.length });
});
async function handleExternalMeeting ({ title, attendees, content, actionItems } ) {
console .log (`External meeting: ${title} , ${actionItems.length} action items` );
}
async function handleInternalMeeting ({ title, content, actionItems } ) {
console .log (`Internal meeting: ${title} , ${actionItems.length} action items` );
}
app.listen (3000 , () => console .log ('Granola webhook handler running on :3000' ));
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
import re
app = FastAPI()
@app.post("/webhooks/granola"
async def handle_granola_event (request: Request ):
data = await request.json()
title = data.get("title" , "Untitled" )
content = data.get("content" , "" )
attendees = data.get("attendees" , [])
actions = re.findall(r"- \[ \] (.+)" , content)
external = [a for a in attendees if not a.get("email" , "" ).endswith("@company.com" )]
if external:
await process_external(title, actions, external)
else :
await process_internal(title, actions)
return {"processed" : True , "action_count" : len (actions)}
Step 5 — Processing Patterns Pattern When to Use Implementation Immediate Time-sensitive follow-ups Direct Zapier actions, ~2 min latency Batch Reduce noise, aggregate Queue to SQS/Redis, process every 15 min Conditional Route by meeting type Zapier Paths or custom webhook with routing logic Idempotent Prevent duplicate processing Store processed note IDs, skip duplicates
Step 6 — Error Handling and Retry Zapier handles retries automatically for failed actions. For custom webhooks:
const processedNotes = new Set ();
app.post ('/webhooks/granola' , async (req, res) => {
const noteId = `${req.body.title} -${req.body.datetime} ` ;
if (processedNotes.has (noteId)) {
return res.status (200 ).json ({ status : 'already_processed' });
}
processedNotes.add (noteId);
});
Output
Zapier triggers configured for target folders
Event filtering routing meetings by type
Custom webhook handler processing events
Idempotency preventing duplicate processing
Error Handling Error Cause Fix Trigger not firing Wrong folder name in Zapier Verify folder name matches exactly (case-sensitive) Empty note_content Note still processing when trigger fires Add 2-minute Delay step before processing actions Duplicate events Zapier retry on timeout Implement idempotency with note ID deduplication Webhook timeout Handler takes > 30s Return 200 immediately, process async Missing attendees Calendar event has no attendee list No fix — attendees come from calendar event data
