Step 2: Configure in Granola

  1. Open Granola app
  2. Go to Settings > Templates
  3. Click "Create New Template"
  4. Paste your template content
  5. Name it (e.g., "1:1 Meeting")
  6. Set trigger conditions (optional):
    • Calendar event title contains "1:1"
    • Specific attendee domains

Step 3: Pre-Meeting Checklist

Before important meetings:

## Pre-Meeting Checklist

### 30 Minutes Before
- [ ] Review previous meeting notes
- [ ] Prepare agenda items
- [ ] Check Granola is running
- [ ] Test audio input

### 5 Minutes Before
- [ ] Open relevant documents
- [ ] Have action items from last meeting ready
- [ ] Open Granola notepad
- [ ] Add agenda to notes pane

Step 4: Set Up Smart Defaults

Configure Granola preferences for automatic behavior:

| Setting | Recommended Value | Purpose | |---------|------------------|---------| | Auto-start recording | On | Never miss a meeting | | Default template | By meeting type | Consistent structure | | Auto-share | Team members | Immediate collaboration | | Summary style | Detailed | Comprehensive notes |

Output

  • Custom templates for each meeting type
  • Pre-meeting preparation workflow
  • Consistent meeting structure
  • Improved meeting outcomes

Template Best Practices

  1. Keep templates focused - One template per meeting type
  2. Include prompts - Guide note-taking during meeting
  3. Pre-fill context - Add relevant background
  4. Structure for AI - Use headers for better parsing

Error Handling

| Issue | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Template not loading | Wrong trigger condition | Check template settings | | Missing sections | Template incomplete | Review and add sections | | Conflicting templates | Multiple matches | Make triggers more specific |
