Notion

You can connect Notion so that new pages in selected databases automatically create containers, projects, or tasks in MONOid and link back to the Notion page. This keeps Notion-backed work visible in your planning and calendar.

Availability and limits

• Availability — Available from Settings > Workspace > Integrations for personal and organisation workspaces that have Notion enabled.
• Prerequisite — You need permission in Notion to authorise the workspace and select the databases MONOid may access.
• Direction — Notion -> MONOid only.
• Trigger — New page created in a selected Notion database.
• Source of truth — Notion remains the source for the original page. MONOid stores the created container, project, or task plus a link back to Notion.
• Current limit — Page updates in Notion do not update the MONOid entity after creation.
• Support path — Reconnect Notion and re-select databases first; contact Support if webhooks still do not arrive.

What you can sync from Notion

New pages in a connected database can trigger creation of:

• A container (e.g. for a Notion "area" or parent)
• A project (one project per Notion page)
• A task (one task per page, for a tasks-style database)

The integration is one-way: Notion sends a webhook when a page is created; MONOid creates the chosen entity and stores an external link to the Notion page. MONOid does not write back into Notion.

Setup

1. Go to Settings > Workspace > Integrations and connect Notion.
2. Authorise with your Notion account and select the workspace(s) MONOid may access.
3. Configure which databases create which MONOid entities in the Tasks, Containers, and Projects sections of settings (e.g. "When a page is added to this database, create a task").

The mapping is: one Notion database -> one entity type (container, project, or task). You can map multiple databases to the same type. The page title becomes the MONOid entity title.

Sync behaviour

• Trigger — Driven by Notion webhooks. As soon as Notion sends a "page created" event, MONOid processes it. No fixed sync interval.
• Create only — Only page created events trigger the integration. Updating a page in Notion does not update the MONOid entity.

Typical uses

• Notion as backlog — Connect a tasks database to create MONOid tasks. Triage and schedule them in My Inbox and Calendar.
• Notion areas as containers — Connect an "areas" database to create containers, mirroring your Notion structure.
• Notion projects as projects — Connect a projects database so new Notion projects become MONOid projects.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing created — Confirm the database is selected in the right section (Containers / Projects / Tasks) and that the integration is connected. Check that the page was created (not only updated).
• Connection lost — Reconnect Notion in Settings > Integrations. If Notion revoked access or the token expired, you'll need to reconnect and re-select databases.
• Wrong entity type — Check which section (Containers vs Projects vs Tasks) you configured for that database.
