How to configure Zaps using Grain to automate your workflow

Updated over 2 weeks ago

A new version of the Grain Zapier integration is now live, so you can get more out of your meeting data!

What's new

With the updated integration, you can:

  • Connect at the workspace level to send team data to your tools (admin required), or use a personal connection for your own meetings

  • Set up triggers with more control over what data is sent

  • Access transcripts and media directly

Before you get started, here's what you need to know:

New Zaps:

  • These will default to the new version when you select Grain in Zapier. You’ll need to create a new Grain connection, this is a one-time step and only takes a minute!

  • To use the new functionality with existing Zaps, you’ll need to re-add the Grain trigger.

Note: If you do nothing, your existing Zaps will continue working. We plan to deprecate the old version in September 2026.

Getting connected for the first time

Step 1: Log in to Zapier

Log in to your Zapier account, or sign up for a free account here, if you don’t have one.

Step 2: Set up a new Grain connection

In Zapier, go to App Connections → Add connection → Search Grain and click "Add connection"

Choose the level of access you want the Zap to pull from Grain: Personal or Workspace

  • Personal: pulls only meetings you record

  • Workspace: pulls all meetings in the workspace. You must have admin permissions to set up a workspace connection.

Your new connection will appear as “Grain 1.0.0” in your App connections.

Step 3: Create a Zap

  • Click “Create Zap”

  • Set Grain as a trigger

  • Choose the trigger event (an event that starts your Zap) from the list based on what you intend to achieve. For example, “Recording Added.”

  • Once you select the trigger event, you’ll be asked to choose your Grain account. Select the new account (v1.0.0) to pull your data from.

  • Select the data you want sent via the integration, test your Zap, and publish.

Get your transcripts from Grain

To get a transcript from a recording, add a step after your Grain trigger.

  • Select Grain as the app

  • Choose the action event “Get Transcript”

  • In “Recording ID”, select the Recording ID from the trigger step

  • Choose your preferred format: JSON, TXT, VTT or SRT

  • Click “Continue”, then test the step

Once the step runs, you’ll see the transcript in the output.

From there, you can add another step to send the transcript to your preferred destination, like Google Drive.

Update existing Zaps

  • Open the existing Grain Zap you want to update

  • The Grain app will have an old version number (not Grain 1.0.0)

  • In the trigger event, click “Change” on the App

  • Search for and select Grain

  • Click on the trigger event to update

  • Switch your account to the new connection (i.e. v1.0.0)

  • Configure the data you want sent and test your flow!
