Notion Setup
Notion can be connected from the Services section in WorkSights. Once connected, Notion begins sending activity signals to WorkSights automatically through Notion's webhook framework. Only activity that occurs after the integration is connected will appear in WorkSights.
Only Admins, Owners, and Executives can initiate this connection.
For an overview of how Notion activity appears in WorkSights, see Notion Overview.
Connecting Notion
Step 1: Start the Connection
- Go to Services in the top navigation
- Find Notion in the list
- Click Connect Notion
Step 2: Authorize WorkSight in Notion
You will be redirected to Notion to authorize the integration. WorkSights requests permission to view selected pages, view comments on those pages, and view workspace users and their email addresses. The user authorizing the integration must have sufficient permissions in the Notion workspace to grant access.
Step 3: Choose Pages or Teamspaces
Notion gives you control over exactly which content WorkSights can access. You can grant access to entire teamspaces or individual top-level pages. Nested pages inherit access automatically from their parent.
This allows organizations to limit the integration to specific areas of their workspace if needed. After selecting the pages or spaces, click Allow Access to complete authorization.
Step 4: User Mapping
WorkSights imports users from the Notion workspace and matches them to WorkSights users by email.
Open the Users tab to review mappings. For any user that did not map automatically, select the correct WorkSights profile from the dropdown.
Only mapped users generate Notion activity inside WorkSights.
What Happens Next
Once connected, Notion begins sending page edits, document updates, and comment events to WorkSights. Activity appears on the timeline within the next 20-minute processing cycle. Connection status, page permissions, and user mappings can be reviewed and updated at any time from the integration page.
