# Import your Granola notes

> Connect Granola so the notes you take there come into Kepler as calls, choose which notes come in, and bring in past notes.

_Collection: Email, Calendar & Meetings (email-calendar) — Kepler Help Center. Canonical: https://keplercrm.com/support/articles/granola-notes/_

If you take meeting notes in Granola, connect it to Kepler and each note comes in as a call: Kepler writes its own minutes from Granola's transcript, adds the meeting to the people it was with, and suggests field updates and tasks, as it does for calls from the [note taker](/support/articles/ai-note-taker/). Granola works whether or not the note taker is turned on.

## Before you connect

  - You need a Granola **Business** or **Enterprise** plan. Granola only offers API keys on those plans.

  - The connection is yours: each member connects their own Granola, and nobody can manage anyone else's.

  - Your Kepler role must allow you to log calls and activities. If connecting fails for you, ask your administrator about your role.

## Connect Granola

  - Open **Settings → Note taker**. In the **Granola** section, select **Connect**.

  - In Granola, open **Settings › Connectors › API keys** and create a key with **Personal notes** ticked.

  - Paste the key into **API key** and select **Connect**. Kepler checks the key with Granola before saving it.

  - Choose whether to **Bring in past notes**: **Last 30 days**, **Last 90 days** or **From now on**. The first two show how many notes they would bring in. Select **Import**, or **Done** for From now on.

The Granola section then shows **Connected**, the Granola account and when it last synced. New and edited notes usually arrive within a minute; Kepler also checks every 15 minutes. To check now, open **Manage** and select **Sync now**.

## Choose which notes come in

Use **Which notes** in the Granola section:

| Option | What comes in |
| --- | --- |
| With people in Kepler (default) | Notes where someone on the meeting is a candidate or contact in Kepler, matched by email. Other notes are skipped and not stored. |
| All my notes | Every note. A call with nobody in Kepler asks who it was with (see below). |
| A folder | Only the notes in that Granola folder. |

A change applies to notes from then on. Notes skipped earlier don't come in by themselves; use **Import more** under **Past notes** to fetch them. Notes with no transcript yet, and deleted notes, are skipped.

## Bring in past notes

Without past notes, Kepler only brings in notes from when you connected. Under **Past notes**, select **Bring in past notes** (or **Import more** after a first import) and choose the last 30 or 90 days. Each run brings in up to 500 notes. The row shows progress, for example **Bringing in the last 30 days · 3 of 12**, and, if you're still on the page, Kepler tells you when they're in.

## Find your Granola calls

Granola calls are listed under **Calls** with the Granola mark. To see only them, open **Filter**, choose **Source** and select **Granola**. A Granola call has no recording; its page has **Minutes**, **Granola notes** (Granola's own summary and what you typed) and **Transcript** tabs, and **Open in Granola**.

If Kepler's note taker was in the same meeting, you get one call, not two. Granola's summary and notes are added to the note taker's call; if the note taker wasn't let in or couldn't record, Granola's transcript is used instead.

### Who was this call with?

When a Granola call matches nobody in Kepler, the call and **To review** ask **Who was this call with?** Select **Link** to link it to a candidate, contact, company or job, or **Not a client call**. Calls from a past-notes import that need a person are grouped into one card with **Review**. Meetings with only your own team aren't asked about.

## Who can see Granola calls

Calls you import are visible to your workspace, like note taker calls. **What you typed** in Granola, on the Granola notes tab, is shown only to you.

## Change the key or disconnect

  - To use a new key, open **Manage**, select **Change key**, paste it and select **Save key**.

  - To disconnect, open **Manage**, select **Disconnect**, then confirm **Disconnect**. Calls already imported stay in Kepler; Kepler deletes the stored key and stops syncing.

## If notes stop coming in

  - **Not syncing** with **Granola refused the key** means the key was revoked or expired. Select **Reconnect** and paste a new key; Kepler catches up from where syncing stopped. Kepler also sends you a **Granola stopped syncing** notification.

  - **Granola didn't accept this key.** means the key is wrong or your Granola plan has no API access. **This key can't read your notes.** means the key was created without **Personal notes** ticked.

  - Check **Which notes**: with **With people in Kepler**, a meeting with nobody in Kepler is skipped.

  - A call that shows **Granola sent no transcript for this note.** came in without a transcript; Kepler can't write minutes for it.

For anything else, use **Contact support** in the Help panel or email [support@keplercrm.com](mailto:support@keplercrm.com). Never send your API key.
