How to Connect Notion AI with Make (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Why connect Notion AI with Make?

💡 Automate workflows between Notion and other tools like Gmail, Slack, and Google Calendar
📋 Auto-generate content briefs, reports, or CRM updates
📨 Create Notion tasks directly from form responses, emails, or DMs

2. Prerequisites

A free or paid Make account
A Notion workspace with API access enabled
Basic understanding of what you want to automate

3. Step-by-step setup

Step 1: Create your scenario in Make

Log into Make, click on “Create a new scenario”, and choose Notion as your trigger or action module.

Step 2: Connect Notion API

When prompted, authorize your Notion account and grant Make access to the necessary pages or databases. You may need to generate an internal integration token in Notion first.

Step 3: Choose your trigger or action

Decide whether Notion should be the starting point (e.g., “New task created in Notion”) or the endpoint (e.g., “Send new email from Gmail to Notion database”).

Step 4: Map the fields

Use the Make visual interface to map fields between Notion and the connected tool (e.g., Gmail subject line becomes Notion task title).

Step 5: Test and activate

Test your scenario using sample data. Once it runs successfully, activate it. Make will now run this workflow automatically in the background.

✅ Use filters and conditions to avoid cluttering your database
✅ Schedule automations to run hourly or in real-time depending on importance
