Heads Up is available to Enterprise workspaces on a pilot.

How it works

Heads Up tells participants that you use Granola before they join a meeting.

Set up Heads Up

Choose your calendar and setup method. Automatic setup adds Heads Up links to eligible meetings. A calendar add-on lets organizers create Heads Up meetings from their calendar. Each guide includes setup steps, meeting instructions, and how to turn the method off.

Enable the feature in Granola

To complete setup, a Granola workspace admin must enable Heads Up in Granola.
  1. Click your workspace name in the bottom-left corner, then select Settings. Open Settings > Workspace > Heads Up Pages for your workspace.
  2. Turn on Notify all workspace members about Heads Up and confirm.
If the page or setting is not visible, ask Granola support to enable it for your workspace. Workspace members receive an in-app notification with a link to this page. This does not install a calendar add-on or authorize calendar access. Keep this setting on when using automatic setup. Turning it off also stops automatic Heads Up updates for the workspace. Select View example page to preview a Heads Up page.

Choose which meetings are updated

Under Automatically update meeting links, choose which eligible meetings receive Heads Up links:
  • All meetings updates both internal and external meetings. This is the default.
  • Internal meetings updates meetings only when every participant belongs to your organization or another configured internal domain.
  • External meetings updates meetings only when at least one participant is outside your configured internal domains.
This setting applies to automatic setup for both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. It does not affect meetings where an organizer adds Heads Up using a calendar add-on.

What participants see

When a participant follows a Heads Up meeting link, they see a page with:
  • Meeting details (title, time, organizer)
  • An explanation that Granola will be used for AI note-taking
  • A Join meeting button to confirm and continue
  • Your organization’s information
After selecting Join meeting, participants continue to the call. The full Heads Up page for Daily Sync, with meeting details, a Join meeting button, and the What is Granola section below.

Audit logging

Every time someone clicks “Join meeting” on the consent page, Granola logs:
  • Meeting ID
  • Date and timestamp of consent
  • User agent (browser/device information)
This creates an audit trail showing that participants gave confirmation before joining the call. Workspace admins can request access to these logs for compliance purposes by emailing hey@granola.so.
