  • Adding meeting summaries as context for chart analysis
  • Understanding the “why” behind data trends using meeting notes

​
How It Works

  2. Link Context: From any Source details page, click “Add Source Context” and select Granola.
  3. Select Notes: Browse and select meeting notes to use as context for your charts.

Setup

1

Generate a Granola API Key

Open the Granola desktop app, go to Settings → API → Create new key, and generate a key.
Granola API key settings screen

Granola Settings → API key screen

Granola offers two key types — either works with Chartcastr:
Which key should I use? Use a Personal API key if you want to attach your own meeting notes as context. Use an Enterprise API key if a workspace admin wants to provide org-wide meeting context across all team members’ notes.
On Enterprise plans, workspace admins can control whether members can create Personal API keys via the “Allow personal API keys” toggle in Settings → Workspace.
2

Connect in Chartcastr

In Chartcastr, go to Settings → Source Integrations and find the Granola card. Enter your API key and click Test & Connect.
3

Attach Meeting Notes

From any Source or Source Group detail page, click Add Source Context, select Granola, and browse your meeting notes. Select the notes relevant to the data you’re tracking.

​
What Gets Cached

When you attach a Granola meeting note, Chartcastr caches the following information for AI analysis:
  • Meeting title and date/time
  • Attendees (names and emails)
  • AI-generated summary (in markdown format)
  • Folder membership for organizational context
Full transcripts are not cached to keep token usage efficient. The AI summary provides the most relevant context in a compact form.

​
Benefits

By linking Granola meeting notes, your AI-generated summaries will understand the “why” behind your data:
  • Correlate metric spikes with decisions made in recent meetings
  • Include meeting context in your daily or weekly pulses
  • Get smarter answers to follow-up questions in Slack based on your meeting history

​
Access Scope

What notes you can browse in Chartcastr depends on which API key type you use:
If your organization has multiple Granola workspaces, you’ll need a separate API key per workspace.

​
Rate Limits

Granola enforces rate limits per user (Personal) or per workspace (Enterprise): Chartcastr respects these limits when browsing and fetching notes.

FAQ

A Business or Enterprise plan. Personal API keys are available on both. Enterprise API keys require the Enterprise plan and must be created by a workspace admin.
Granola also offers an MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for conversational AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. The MCP uses browser-based OAuth and is designed for interactive chat. For Chartcastr’s automated context enrichment, the API key approach is the right fit since it runs in the background without user interaction.
Not yet — Granola’s webhook support is on their roadmap. Currently, Chartcastr fetches note content when you attach a note as context.
