# Granola

## Prerequisites

Before you can add the connection, you must generate an API key from your Granola account:

**Step 1**

Open the Granola desktop app.

**Step 2**

Click your workspace name in the bottom-left corner and select **Settings**.

**Step 3**

Navigate to **Connectors** > **API keys**. If you are a workspace administrator creating a global key, navigate to **Workspace API keys** instead.

**Step 4**

Click **Create new key**.

**Step 5**

Select the note access scopes to include in the key (**Personal notes**, **Public notes**, or both).

**Step 6**

Click **Generate API Key**.

**Step 7**

Copy the API key immediately and store it securely. The key starts with `grn_` and must be treated like a password.

> [!NOTE]
>
> On Enterprise plans, if you do not see the option or cannot select certain scopes, a Granola workspace administrator must first enable member API access. Go to **Settings** > **Workspace** > **General** > **API access for members**.

## Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Granola to your Connect AI account:

**Step 1**

Open the **Sources** page of the Connect AI navigation menu.

**Step 2**

Click **+ Add Connection** in the upper-right corner.

**Step 3**

Type *Granola* into the search field, then click the data source name.

**Step 4**

On the **Basic Settings** tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

**Step 5**

Enter the **API Key** generated from your Granola account.

**Step 6**

At the top of the Connect AI **Add Granola Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

* If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
* If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the **Sign in** button. Correct the errors and try again.
* Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a **Status** of **Not Authenticated**. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
