Notion is a workspace for docs, wikis, projects, and databases. The Notion app connector lets your Lovable app reach the pages and databases your team has shared with it, so you can build apps that turn Notion content into a customer-facing experience or push structured data back into Notion as your source of truth.Documentation Index

This is the Notion app connector for apps you build with Lovable. Your generated app reads and writes Notion content at runtime.Want the Lovable Agent to read your Notion docs while building instead? Use the Notion chat connector (MCP) — a separate integration with its own setup.
- Read pages, blocks, and rich text from your Notion workspace
- Query Notion databases with filters, sorts, and pagination
- Create new pages and append blocks to existing pages
- Update database rows (for example, status, owner, due date)
- Drive content-managed sites and dashboards where editors work in Notion
Common use cases and example apps
| Example app | Example prompt | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing site backed by Notion | Use Notion and build a marketing site that pulls landing pages and a blog from a Notion database. | Render a marketing site from content managed in Notion. The app fetches pages by slug, renders the matching components, and lets editors ship updates without touching code. |
| Internal knowledge base or wiki | Use Notion and build a searchable knowledge base from our company wiki in Notion. | Turn a Notion wiki into a fast, searchable site. The app reads the page tree, builds navigation, and renders rich text and embedded blocks for each article. |
| Customer-facing help center | Use Notion and build a help center that lists articles by category from a Notion database. | Publish help articles from Notion with a clean reading experience. The app paginates by category, renders rich text, and surfaces metadata managed entirely in Notion. |
| Project tracker dashboard | Use Notion and build a project tracker that shows tasks from our Notion database, grouped by status, with filters for owner and due date. | Bring a Notion database to life as a focused dashboard. The app queries the database, groups and filters rows in the UI, and lets the team see progress at a glance. |
| Lead capture form into Notion | Build a lead capture form. When someone submits it, create a new row in our Leads database in Notion. | Push form submissions into a Notion database. The app validates the input and writes a new page in the target database so sales can work the lead from Notion. |
| Editorial content site | Use Notion and build a blog that lists articles from a Notion database, supports tag filtering, and renders rich text. | Build an editorial reading experience driven by Notion pages. The app paginates posts, filters by tag, and renders rich text and embedded blocks. |
| Status page or changelog | Use Notion and build a public changelog that pulls release notes from a Notion database. | Let the team write release notes in Notion and surface them publicly. The app reads new entries, renders them in chronological order, and exposes an RSS-style feed. |
How Notion connections work
Lovable uses one centrally managed Notion app to power all Notion integrations across workspaces. Within your Lovable workspace:- You can create multiple Notion connections.
- Each connection is a separate OAuth authorization tied to a single Notion workspace.
- Each connection only sees the pages and databases shared with it during authorization — it cannot reach other content in that Notion workspace.
- Multiple projects within a single Lovable workspace can use the same connection.
How to connect Notion
Workspace admins and owners can connect Notion.Prerequisites
Before connecting Notion, make sure you have:- A Notion workspace where you can install integrations (or request admin approval)
- Permission in Notion to share the pages and databases your app needs
- Lovable workspace admin or owner role
All API requests made through this connector go to your Notion workspace. Notion API usage counts toward your Notion plan limits and is handled directly by Notion, not Lovable.
Step 1: Decide what to share with the integration
Notion only exposes content that has been explicitly shared with the integration. Before authorizing, decide which pages and databases your app should be able to read or write.Step 2: Connect Notion to Lovable
You can create multiple connections to authorize different Notion workspaces or to keep environments separate.Configure the connection
- Display name: name the connection, for example
Notion Prod. - Who can access this connection: keep access limited to specific people or invite the entire workspace. See Connection-level access for more information.
Connect to Notion and authorize
- Click Connect. The Notion authorization window opens — make sure your browser doesn’t block pop-ups.
- Sign in to Notion if needed and select the workspace you want to connect.
- On the Select pages screen, choose the pages and databases your app should be able to access. You can update this later from inside Notion.
- Review the requested permissions and click Allow access. You’ll be redirected back to Lovable with a confirmation.
Working with shared pages and databases
Notion’s permission model is opt-in: an integration can only see what’s been explicitly shared with it.- If your app is missing content it should be able to see, share the page or database with the integration in Notion (Share → Connections → Add connections).
- Sharing a parent page automatically shares its sub-pages with the integration.
- You can revoke access from inside Notion at any time without removing the Lovable connection — the connection stays connected, the integration just sees less content.
- Pages your app creates or updates are attributed to the integration in Notion’s page history, not to an individual user.
Limitations
The Notion connector cannot:- Receive incoming Notion webhooks or events (for example, “page updated” notifications)
- Reach pages or databases that haven’t been shared with the integration
- Authenticate per end user — each connection uses a single Notion authorization shared by everyone using the app
- Perform Notion workspace administration (member management, permissions, billing)
How to unlink projects from a connection
Editors and above can remove specific projects from a connection without deleting the connection entirely. The connection will remain available for other projects. To unlink projects:
When unlinked, those projects will no longer have access to through this connection. If a project needs again, you can link it to any available connection.
