Connect Jenn to your Notion workspace to automatically save and route information to your databases and pages.
Step 1: Create a Notion Integration
- Go to notion.so/my-integrations
- Click "New integration"
- Give it a name (e.g., "Jenn")
- Select your workspace
- Set capabilities: Read content, Update content, Insert content
- Click "Submit"
- Copy the Internal Integration Secret (starts with
secret_)
Step 2: Share Pages with Integration
For Jenn to access your Notion pages and databases, you must explicitly share them with the integration:
- Open the page or database in Notion
- Click "..." (top right) → "Connections" → "Add connections"
- Search for your integration name (e.g., "Jenn")
- Click "Confirm"
Important: Sub-pages and sub-databases inherit access from their parent. If you share a parent page, all children become accessible.
Step 3: Configure in Jenn Console
- Open Jenn Console → Pipeline
- Find Notion in Outputs → click "Configure"
- Paste your Internal Integration Secret
- Click "Test" to verify connection
- Click "Refresh" to load your pages and databases
- Check the boxes next to destinations you want to use
- Add a comment for Jenn (optional) to describe what to save there
- Click "Save"
Database & Page Synchronization
Jenn fully synchronizes with your Notion workspace:
- Databases: Jenn reads the schema (properties/columns) and automatically maps incoming data to the correct fields
- Categories: If your database has a "Select" or "Multi-select" property for categories, Jenn will use existing options or create new ones as needed
- Pages: Jenn appends content blocks to existing pages
- Real-time sync: When you click "Refresh" in the config modal, Jenn fetches the latest list of available pages and databases
Understanding Destinations
Each checked destination becomes a routing target for Jenn:
- Active checkbox: Data will be saved to this destination when Jenn routes to Notion
- Inactive checkbox: Jenn will NOT save data here, even if Notion is the selected output
- Comment for Jenn: A hint that helps Jenn decide WHEN to use this destination (e.g., "Save work tasks here", "Personal notes only")
Warning: If NO destinations are checked, Jenn cannot save anything to Notion. At least one destination must be active for the integration to work.
Troubleshooting
"No destinations found"
Make sure you shared at least one page or database with the integration (Step 2). Then click "Refresh".
"API key is invalid"
Double-check that you copied the full Internal Integration Secret (starts with secret_).
"Data not saving to Notion"
Verify that at least one destination checkbox is active. Check the Activity log in Console to see routing decisions.
