Setting up the automated chat message in Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Slack huddles (User Guide)

macOS Windows

​

Windows setup

1. Click your workspace name in the bottom-left corner, then select Settings. Open Settings > Preferences > Transparency > Automated chat message.
2. Find Automated chat message in Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Slack huddles and turn on the toggle switch.

Once the toggle is on, Granola can post the notice in Zoom or Microsoft Teams chat automatically. Slack huddles are supported on macOS only.

​

macOS setup

On Mac, there are two steps: turn on the setting and then grant the Accessibility permission.

​

Step 1 — Enable the Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Slack huddles chat feature

1. Open Settings > Preferences > Transparency > Automated chat message, find Automated chat message in Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Slack huddles, and click Set up.
2. In the setup window, click Enable accessibility.

​

Step 2 — Grant Accessibility permission

1. macOS opens System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility. Enable (or drag in) Granola and confirm. macOS asks to let Granola “control your computer” — this is required so Granola can send the message in the meeting chat.
2. Back in Granola, the setup shows Enabled — click Continue.
3. Automated chat message in Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Slack huddles is now on.

​

When the message sends

Granola posts the message automatically once transcription has started and at least one other person has joined the meeting, so you won’t notify an empty room. Meeting chat must be allowed in the meeting; the host’s organization controls this. On Zoom for Windows, the Zoom meeting window must be in front. If it isn’t, the message sends the next time you switch back to Zoom. Make sure the meeting chat or huddle thread composer is empty. If you’ve already typed something there, Granola can’t send the message.
