Your network is scattered. Goodword puts it all together.
Your relationships live in LinkedIn, Google, Outlook, X, Instagram, Granola, a spreadsheet, and a stack of business cards. No one place knows who you know. Integrations are how Goodword fixes that: connect your sources once, and every contact, conversation, and meeting flows into a single network that stays current on its own, with no data entry, ever.
Every source you connect does three things for you:
Adds relevant people, not every address that's ever hit your inbox. When there's signal of a real relationship (a genuine conversation, a meeting, a thread with history) they join your network, enriched automatically with role, company, and LinkedIn context.
Adds interactions. Every meaningful email, DM, meeting, and event becomes part of each relationship's history, so you never forget who you talked to, when, or what it was about. That memory is what makes your search results sharp, your recommendations aimed, and your daily digest worth trusting. (The noise, meaning newsletters, bulk mail, and internal meetings, never makes it in.)
Generates notes and reminders. The substance gets captured for you. A meeting produces a note filed to the right people. A commitment you made ("I'll send the deck by Friday") becomes a reminder. An unanswered message from someone who matters becomes a reminder too.
Connect in Settings → Integrations.
What you get with each integration
One connection usually brings in several things at once, and you can see and manage each of them in the integration's panel.
What you get: Connections · Messages (DMs) · Posts (for watched groups)
Connections. Your full connection list, with real connection dates, kept current as you add people.
Messages. Your DMs, so the conversations happening on LinkedIn count toward each relationship's history. An unanswered DM from someone who matters becomes a reminder.
Posts. For any group with post watching turned on, LinkedIn is where the posts come from: the group's Posts tab and the Friday top-five digest (see the Groups article).
No direct LinkedIn login is shared with Goodword. The connection runs through a trusted infrastructure partner with careful rate limits. Prefer not to connect directly? Upload LinkedIn's own data export instead (guide: Add your LinkedIn connections via data export).
What you get: Email (Gmail) · Calendar · Contacts
Email. The correspondence that matters becomes relationship history, and the commitments in your sent mail become reminders. Goodword doesn't ingest everything: newsletters, bulk mail, and automated senders are filtered out, so only the relevant conversations count.
Calendar. Every external meeting is logged as an interaction with the people in the room (internal-only meetings are skipped).
Contacts. Imports your address book.
Multiple Google accounts supported.
Microsoft Outlook
What you get: Email · Calendar · Contacts
The same three as Google, including the noise filtering, connected as a bundle.
Granola
What you get: Meeting notes
The highest-leverage connection if you take meetings. When a Granola meeting ends, Goodword automatically files a note summarizing the meeting to the actual attendees, logs the interaction for each person, and extracts your commitments into reminders: the intro you offered, the proposal you promised. The follow-up system runs itself.
Luma
What you get: Events
Import an event and Goodword keeps track of who was in the room with you. Attendees don't flood your contacts. A person joins your network only once there's enough signal that you actually met: a note, an email follow-up, a debrief mention, an interaction from another source. The event context is waiting the moment a real connection forms, and your network never fills with guest-list strangers.
CSV: export from anywhere, transfer to Goodword
What you get: Contact imports
An Airtable base, an existing CRM, a spreadsheet from your last job: if it exports to a CSV, it transfers to Goodword seamlessly. Goodword maps your columns, including a Notes column (saved and searchable). You can even email the CSV to Goodword and get "Imported N contacts" back.
Text with Goodword
What you get: AI chat · Notes · Reminders · Voice memos · New contacts
Goodword's AI chat, working where you already work: your messages. Text a note and it's filed. Text "remind me to follow up with Dana in two weeks" and it's done. Send a voice memo after a meeting and it's captured. Snap a photo of a business card and the contact is added and enriched. Ask "who do I know at Databricks?" and the answer comes back by text. Opt in from Settings.
Email Goodword
What you get: AI chat · Notes · Contact imports · Photo capture
The same AI chat, living in your inbox. Forward context to Goodword and it replies in-thread: notes, questions about your network, a CSV of contacts, photos of business cards.
Goodword MCP (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and other AI tools)
Your whole network, available inside the AI tools you already use. Covered in its own article: Goodword MCP.
How far back it imports
Most sources have a history window (1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or all time) adjustable in each integration's Manage panel. Widen it any time and Goodword backfills the older history (windows widen, they don't narrow). A couple of things always import in full, no window needed: your LinkedIn connections and your Google/Outlook contact books. Wider is better everywhere else: the dormant contacts from three years ago are precisely the ones Goodword is built to resurface.
Your data stays current on its own
Every contact is enriched automatically (role, company, location, LinkedIn profile) and re-checked over time. When someone changes jobs, their record updates, your groups re-sort, and the change can surface as a recommendation ("just started a new role"). The network you import today is still accurate in two years.
What people use it for
The CRM that builds itself and stays current. Connect LinkedIn, email, calendar, and Granola, and every investor call is logged, summarized, and filed while you walk to the next meeting. The "send the data room" you said out loud in the pitch is already a reminder. When you start the next raise, three years of investor conversations are searchable, and nobody ever typed a contact card.
Transfer your entire network to Goodword. The Airtable base, the old CRM, the spreadsheet with years of notes in it: export to CSV, upload (or email it in), and all of that relationship capital is live and searchable. The "champion on the 2024 rebrand" note from your old system now surfaces in search and sharpens every draft.
Every client's ecosystem, captured while you work. Each engagement introduces you to a board, an exec team, an investor group: the network that produces your next engagement. Calendar and Granola log all of it passively. Two years of engagements become a searchable asset instead of a blur.
Use Goodword where you already live. You just had a great conversation and you're back in your car. Voice memo to Goodword: who it was, what you talked about, what you promised. Filed, noted, reminder set, without opening an app. Business card? Photo, text, done.
FAQ
Which integrations matter most on day one? LinkedIn plus Google or Outlook gets Goodword genuinely useful. Then opt into Text with Goodword so capturing things takes a text instead of an app.
Does Goodword read all my email? It processes email to extract relationship signal: who you talk to, what was substantive, what you committed to. Bulk mail, newsletters, and automated messages are filtered out and don't become part of your history.
Is the LinkedIn connection safe? It runs through a trusted infrastructure partner with deliberate rate limits, built carefully from day one. If you'd rather not connect directly, the LinkedIn data-export upload gets your connections in without a live link.
A new LinkedIn connection isn't in Goodword yet. New connections sync continuously but can take a few hours to appear.
What happens if I disconnect a source? Syncing stops. Already-imported contacts and notes stay as-is, so you don't lose out on important information.
How is my data stored? You can learn more about this in our privacy policy and terms of service.
Next: open Settings → Integrations and connect one source you haven't yet, then widen its history window. The older history is where the forgotten gold is. Then see Your daily Goodword for what all that connected context quietly powers, every day.
