How to add Notion to Dropbox Dash

You can add your Notion account to Dropbox Dash so you can access and search your Notion content directly within Dash.

This requires OAuth authentication to ensure Dash only retrieves information relevant to your data, giving you full control over what Dash can access. Dash strictly follows the OAuth model, meaning it only accesses the data you specifically permit.

Requirements

To add Notion to Dash, make sure you meet the following requirements:

• Admin approval: The app must be enabled by your Dash admin. If Notion isn’t listed in your Apps, contact your admin.
• Authorization: You must authorize Dash in Notion.
• Active account: You need an active account with Notion.

Integration features

For Notion, Dash captures the following details:

• Pages: Dash gathers information such as the page title, content data, and timestamp, so it can search these items.
• Attachments: Dash gathers the attachment name and file type, so it can search these items.
• User information: Dash gathers information such as name, email address, and profile picture to enhance search capabilities.

API permissions

When connecting Notion, Dash requests the following authorizations:

• View pages you select: Allows Dash to view pages you selected. This enables Dash to search your pages.
• View comments within pages you select: Allows Dash to view comments within the pages you selected. This enables Dash to further enhance search results.
• View workspace users and their email addresses: Allows Dash to see basic information about all workspace members and guest data, including their names, profile images, and email addresses. This enables Dash to collect user metadata to power the Dash experience on people data.

How content syncing works

• Content sync starts right after the connection is made, so you can quickly search for the most relevant data.
• Incremental sync occurs every 15 minutes.
