Grain Integration: Sync Your Team's Call Recordings
Connect Grain to Backdrop so your workspace's recorded calls and transcripts power real-time answers. Admin setup with a Grain Workspace Access Token.
With Grain connected, your workspace's recorded customer calls become a source Backdrop draws on: how prospects describe their pain, the objections that come up, and how your best reps answer them.
Who can set this up
A Backdrop workspace admin, with a Grain Workspace Access Token. The connection is shared by everyone in your workspace.
Get a Grain Workspace Access Token
- Sign in to Grain as a workspace admin.
- Go to Workspace settings > Integrations > API.
- Generate a Workspace Access Token and copy it.
Workspace Access Tokens are available on Grain's Business and Enterprise plans. Use a workspace token rather than a personal one: it lets Backdrop reach every recording in the workspace, not just one person's. See Grain's API guide for details.
Connect Grain in Backdrop
- In the Backdrop app, open Knowledge from the sidebar.
- Find Grain and click Connect on its card.
- In the Everyone row, click Connect. A secure connection form opens in your browser.
- Paste your Workspace Access Token and submit. Backdrop checks the token before saving it.
When the card turns green and reads For everyone, Grain is connected.
What Backdrop syncs
- Recordings and their transcripts. The first sync reaches back 12 months.
- New recordings every hour after that.
- External calls only. Internal-only meetings are skipped.
Disconnect Grain
- Open Knowledge and click Manage on the Grain card.
- In the Everyone row, click Disconnect, then confirm.
Backdrop stops receiving recordings from Grain. To switch to a new token, disconnect, then connect again with the new token.
Gong
