Table of contents
Notion can be connected directly from the Services section in WorkSights. Once connected, Notion begins sending activity signals to WorkSights automatically.
WorkSights receives these signals through Notion webhooks and processes them into structured timeline events.
Only activity that occurs after the integration is connected will appear in WorkSights.
Step-by-Step Setup Instructions
Step 1 – Start the Connection in WorkSights
- Go to Services in the top navigation Settings
- Find Notion in the integrations list
- Click Connect Notion
Only Admins, Owners, and Executives can initiate new service connections.
Step 2 – Authorize WorkSight in Notion
After clicking Connect Notion, you will be redirected to Notion to authorize the integration.
WorkSight requests permission to:
- View selected pages
- View comments on those pages
- 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 allows you to control exactly which content WorkSights can access.
You can grant access to:
- Entire team spaces
- Individual top-level pages
Nested pages automatically inherit access from their parent.
This allows organizations to restrict the integration to specific areas of their workspace if desired.
After selecting the pages or spaces, click Allow access to complete authorization.
Step 4 – User Mapping
Once the connection is established, WorkSights imports users from the Notion workspace and attempts to match them with existing WorkSights users using email addresses.
If a user cannot be automatically matched, they can be manually mapped from the Users tab on the integration page.
Only mapped users will generate Notion activity inside WorkSights.
What Happens Next
After the integration is connected, Notion will begin sending activity signals to WorkSights automatically.
Page edits, document updates, and comments will appear in WorkSights within the next 20-minute processing cycle.
You can review connection status, adjust page permissions, and manage user mappings anytime from the integration page.
