Granola now supports signing in with Microsoft and connecting directly to your Outlook calendar. If you’ve been using a Google account as a workaround to access your Outlook calendar, you can now migrate to using your Microsoft account for a more seamless experience.
Granola works with cloud-based Microsoft 365 calendars (Exchange Online). On-premises Exchange servers are not supported.

​
Before you start

Check which scenario applies to you, as the migration process differs slightly:
  • Same email address: If your Google account and Microsoft account use the same email address, you only need to sign out and sign back in with Microsoft. Your account and all notes will remain intact.
  • Different email addresses: If you used a personal Gmail address but your work account is on Microsoft, you’ll need to transfer your notes after signing in with Microsoft.

​
Sign out of your current account

  1. Click on your workspace name in the bottom left corner of the app
  2. Click Settings Screenshot 2025-11-28 at 12.59.31.png
  3. Scroll down and click Sign Out (bottom left)

​

​
Transfer your notes

If you previously used a Gmail account or other alternate email address to use Granola, you may need to transfer your notes. To bring over your notes from your previous account:
  1. Click on your workspace name in the bottom left corner of the app
  2. Click Settings
  3. Go to the Profile tab
  4. Find the Transfer notes option
  5. Enter your previous Gmail address in the field
  6. Check your Gmail inbox for a verification email and confirm

​
What to expect after migrating

Your Outlook calendar events will now sync directly through your Microsoft account without any workarounds. All transferred notes will appear in your new account, though folder structures are not preserved and will need to be recreated manually. You can keep your old Gmail account active if you want to use it for personal meetings. To switch between accounts, use the account switcher icon in the bottom left menu — click the arrows next to your email address to add or switch between accounts.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Admin approval screen

When signing in with Microsoft, you may see an admin approval screen. This happens when your organization requires administrator consent for new applications. Contact your IT administrator to approve Granola for your organization.

​
Notes didn’t transfer

Make sure you completed the verification step by clicking the link in the email sent to your Gmail account. If you didn’t receive the verification email, check your spam folder or try the transfer process again.
