Connect your app to Notion
You can connect your Lovable app to Notion to read and write content from your Notion workspace. This lets you build apps that use Notion pages and databases as their content source or to store data.
Anyone who wants their Lovable app to interact with Notion content needs this.
Do this, in order
- 1
Go to 'Connectors' in your Lovable workspace and select 'Notion'.
This is where you manage all your connections to other services.
- 2
Click 'Add connection'.
This starts the process of setting up a new link between Lovable and Notion.
- 3
Give your connection a 'Display name' (e.g., 'Notion Prod') and decide if you want to 'Share with others' in your workspace.
The name helps you identify the connection, and sharing lets other team members use it.
- 4
Click 'Connect', sign in to Notion if prompted, and select the Notion workspace you want to link.
This authorizes Lovable to access your Notion account.
- 5
On the 'Select pages' screen, choose the specific Notion pages and databases your Lovable app should be able to access, then click 'Allow access'.
Notion only shares content you explicitly allow, ensuring your data stays private.
Paste this into your project
Connect Notion to this project. I want to build a marketing site that pulls landing pages and a blog from a Notion database.
Words decoded
- App + chat connector
- A way for your Lovable app to connect to another service, like Notion, so it can read and write information. This connection can be used in your project's chat and in apps you publish.
- OAuth authorization
- A secure way for one service (Lovable) to get permission to access your information on another service (Notion) without you having to share your password.
- Notion workspace
- Your personal or team area within Notion where all your pages, databases, and content are stored.
- Integration
- A connection that allows two different software applications, like Lovable and Notion, to work together and share information.
Where people get stuck
- Your app will not be able to see any Notion content that you haven't explicitly shared with the Lovable integration during the connection process.
- If you have multiple connectors using the same Notion login and workspace, the most recent one configured might change permissions for all of them.
- The Notion connector cannot receive instant notifications (webhooks) when content changes; you'll need to set up your app to check for updates regularly if you need real-time reactions.
