# Notion integration

The Notion integration sends form submissions to a Notion database and is free on every Makeform plan. Open your form’s **Automations** tab and choose **Notion**.

Makeform is a free AI form builder: describe what you want to collect and it builds the form for you, with unlimited forms and submissions on the free plan.

Notion automations are created from a form's Automations tab. You can choose a workspace, choose or create a database, and map form fields to Notion properties.

## What the Notion integration does

When someone submits your form, Makeform can create a new page in a Notion database.

Use it for:

- Lead lists
- Content requests
- Support intake
- Applicant tracking
- Research notes
- Lightweight CRM workflows

## Connect Notion

1. Open your form.
2. Go to the **Automations** tab.
3. Choose **Notion**.
4. Connect a Notion workspace or choose an existing connected workspace.
5. Select a database or create a new one.
6. Review field mappings.
7. Save the automation.

## Map form fields to Notion properties

Makeform can suggest mappings between form fields and Notion database properties.

Review the mappings before saving, especially when:

- Two fields have similar names.
- A Notion property has a different type than the form answer.
- You want to skip a field.
- You renamed fields after creating the form.

## Export existing submissions

If available during setup, use export existing submissions to backfill responses that were already collected before the Notion automation was connected.

For active production forms, test with a copy or a small sample first so you do not create unwanted database rows.

## Testing checklist

- Submit a test response.
- Confirm a new page appears in the selected Notion database.
- Check mapped fields.
- Confirm the Notion workspace connection is still active.
- Disable old Notion automations if the destination database changes.

## Troubleshooting

### No database appears

Make sure Makeform has access to the Notion workspace and database you want to use.

### A property is missing

Refresh the database properties, then review the field mappings again.

### Responses go to the wrong database

Edit the Notion automation and select the correct database.
