Granola Local Dev Loop

Overview

Integrate Granola meeting notes into your local development workflow for seamless project management.

Prerequisites

• Granola installed and configured
• Zapier account (for automation)
• Project management tool (Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues)
• Local development environment

Instructions

Step 1: Export Notes Workflow

Configure automatic export of meeting notes:

1. Open Granola Settings
2. Go to Integrations > Zapier
3. Connect your Zapier account
4. Create a Zap: "New Granola Note" trigger

Step 2: Set Up Local Sync

Create a local directory for meeting notes:

Copy# Create meeting notes directory
mkdir -p ~/dev/meeting-notes

# Create sync script
cat > ~/dev/scripts/sync-granola-notes.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
# Sync Granola notes to local project

NOTES_DIR="$HOME/dev/meeting-notes"
PROJECT_DIR="$1"

if [ -z "$PROJECT_DIR" ]; then
    echo "Usage: sync-granola-notes.sh <project-dir>"
    exit 1
fi

# Copy relevant notes to project docs
cp -r "$NOTES_DIR"/*.md "$PROJECT_DIR/docs/meetings/" 2>/dev/null

echo "Synced meeting notes to $PROJECT_DIR/docs/meetings/"
EOF

chmod +x ~/dev/scripts/sync-granola-notes.sh

Step 3: Integrate with Git Workflow

Copy# Add meeting notes to .gitignore if sensitive
echo "docs/meetings/*.md" >> .gitignore

# Or track action items only
cat > docs/meetings/README.md << 'EOF'
# Meeting Notes

Action items and decisions from team meetings.
Full notes available in Granola app.
EOF

Step 4: Create Action Item Extractor

Copy#!/usr/bin/env python3
# extract_action_items.py

import re
import sys

def extract_actions(note_file):
    with open(note_file, 'r') as f:
        content = f.read()

    # Find action items section
    actions = re.findall(r'- \[ \] (.+)', content)

    for action in actions:
        print(f"TODO: {action}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    extract_actions(sys.argv[1])

Output

• Local meeting notes directory structure
• Sync script for project integration
• Action item extraction workflow
• Git-integrated note tracking

Workflow Example

Copy1. Attend sprint planning meeting
   Granola captures notes automatically

2. Notes sync to local directory
   ~/dev/meeting-notes/2025-01-06-sprint-planning.md

3. Extract action items
   python extract_action_items.py notes/sprint-planning.md

4. Create tickets automatically
   ./create-tickets.sh TODO.md

5. Reference in commits
   git commit -m "feat: implement login - per meeting 2025-01-06"
