Granola Runner Workflows
Start with meeting summaries and action items, then drill into transcripts only when the job requires it.
Runner uses Granola through a native MCP connection. The Electron app's connector guidance is opinionated: search meetings first, read summaries and action items before transcripts, and only go verbatim when you really need it.

What Runner actually does with Granola
This page is tied to the real connector definition inside Runner. The highlights below describe the kinds of actions, safeguards, and workflow patterns the app page represents, not a generic integration directory blurb.
Pull action items and decisions before you open a transcript.
Use recent meeting context for prep, recap, and follow-through.
Backend surface
Native MCP server powers this connector inside Runner. Backed by the Granola MCP server at `https://mcp.granola.ai/mcp`, with connector guidance focused on summaries, action items, and transcript escalation.
Operational notes
- Granola only has data for meetings where Granola was active during the call.
- Large transcript reads are intentionally a fallback, not the default workflow.

Triggers and actions
What Runner can do with Granola. These are grounded in the real backend connector definitions, not generic marketing filler.
Search for the right meeting first
Search by participant, topic keyword, or date range to disambiguate the meeting you want.
“Find the two Acme meetings from last week and bring back the most recent one.”
Runner locks onto the right conversation before it starts summarizing or drafting anything.
Read summary and action items before transcript
Use Granola's structured meeting summary and action items as the default read path.
“Show me the summary and action items from the Maya investor call, not the full transcript yet.”
You get the decisions and next steps quickly without wading through raw transcript text.
Prepare for the next meeting
Review open commitments and prior action items from past meetings before the next one starts.
“Pull the open action items from prior calls with this customer before tomorrow's prep.”
Runner turns past calls into live prep material instead of static notes.
Escalate to transcript only when necessary
Read the full transcript when the user needs verbatim quotes or speaker-level detail.
“Find who committed to the June rollout date and quote the exact wording from the transcript.”
Runner keeps the fast summary path by default but can still recover exact detail when needed.
