Notion Integration Overview
WorkSights integrates with Notion to bring document activity and collaboration signals into the timeline. When mapped users create or update pages or add comments in Notion, WorkSights receives metadata and displays it as structured timeline entries.
Only activity that occurs after the integration is connected will appear. WorkSights does not import historical Notion data.
For connection steps, see Notion Setup.
What WorkSights Receives
WorkSights receives metadata for two types of Notion objects:
- Pages: when a user creates or modifies a page, WorkSights records that as a document event. Page content, body text, and database content are never received.
- Comments: when a user adds a comment to a page, WorkSights records that as a collaboration event. Comment text is never received.
Each entry includes the user who performed the action, the page or document affected, the associated workspace or teamspace, and the timestamp.
How Notion Activity Appears
Notion pages are treated as documents inside WorkSights, following the same patterns as Google Drive or OneDrive file activity. Page edits appear as document activity entries. Comments appear as related activity entries within the activity detail view.
Activity is processed every 20 minutes, at 14, 34, and 54 minutes past the hour. New activity appears on the timeline after the next processing cycle completes.
Integration Page Overview
The Notion integration page contains three tabs:
- Overview: connection status and integration owner
- Users: Notion users mapped to WorkSights users by email
- Connections: connected Notion workspace and refresh controls
Data Access and Privacy
WorkSights ingests only the metadata required to represent Notion activity: page titles, timestamps, workspace references, and user identity. Page bodies, comment text, file contents, attachments, and database content are never received or stored.
The integration follows Notion's permission model and is limited to the pages and teamspaces selected during setup.
Troubleshooting
If Notion activity is not appearing as expected:
- Confirm the correct Notion workspace is connected in Settings under Connected Services.
- Check that the affected user is mapped by email in the Users tab.
- Confirm the activity occurred after the integration was connected.
- If activity is missing, check whether it falls within the next 20-minute processing window.
- Refreshing the connection typically resolves expired tokens or permission changes.
- For persistent issues, contact support via the in-app chat.
