Grain is a powerful AI tool that automatically handles many of your tedious work meeting tasks. With it, you can automatically take meeting notes, identify conversation highlights, and keep track of next steps. 

But the real benefits come when you connect Grain with your existing tools and processes. With Zapier's automated workflows—called Zaps—you can send highlights and recordings from Grain directly into your favorite apps. 

Whether it's sharing important meeting moments across channels, distilling conversations into actionable insights, directing customer feedback into product boards, or streamlining content creation, these Grain Zaps will empower your team to leverage your collective knowledge efficiently and effectively.

New to Zapier? It's workflow automation software that lets you focus on what matters. Combine user interfaces, data tables, and logic with thousands of apps to build and automate anything you can imagine. Sign up for free to use this app, and thousands more, with Zapier.

To get started with a Zap template—what we call our pre-made workflows—just click on the button. It only takes a few minutes to set up. You can read more about setting up Zaps here.

Share details from team meetings

Imagine you're part of a team that frequently collaborates on projects requiring input from various stakeholders, but scheduling conflicts mean not everyone can join live calls. Wouldn't it be great if every important detail and key decision from these calls could be captured and shared directly to your team's preferred communication channels?

With automation, you can do exactly that! Use one of the Zap templates below to easily send new Grain recordings to Slack, Gmail, or Discord as soon as they become available. This setup ensures that everyone on your team can access the information they need, and you're preserving essential knowledge within the company.

Create detailed meeting summaries with AI

Give Grain a little extra boost by connecting it with other powerful AI tools like ChatGPT and Mem. For example, you can send new meeting recordings to ChatGPT to generate an actionable summary before sending them to Slack or Google Sheets for next steps. You could also send Grain recordings to Mem, where you'll later be able to use Mem's AI tools to access the information exactly when you need it.

By combining Grain with other AI tools, you can distill hours of conversation into actionable insights, saving time and enhancing team productivity by focusing on implementing rather than documenting key decisions.

Connect Grain with product and support tools

Integrating customer feedback into new product updates can be tedious for product teams. Often, you're relying on sales and client service teams to share customer feedback, which can lead to lots of information being lost in translation.

Instead, why not build automated workflows to save Grain highlights from customer calls directly to Miro, Productboard, or Cardinal? This system can eliminate hours of back-and-forth discussion, transferring valuable customer insights from calls directly into product planning tools. This ensures that every piece of feedback is looped into your product development cycle, aligning product features more closely with user needs.

Build a content backlog

Content teams focused on customer stories, testimonials, or case studies spend a lot of time editing raw customer interviews to get ready-to-publish content. By integrating Grain with tools like Notion, Airtable, and Google Drive, you can simplify the process of transforming interview insights into engaging narratives, making it easier to incorporate customer experiences into your content strategies. 

Use one of these Zaps to make sure you always have a rich, continually updated content backlog for your team.
