Connect Notion and your assistant can work with the pages and databases in your workspace — searching for a doc, reading what's in it, and updating it for you. Instead of switching apps to jot something down or hunt for last week's notes, you just ask, and your assistant (powered by OpenClaw under the hood) does it with your own Notion access.

```provider-card
name: Notion
company: notion.so
tagline: Search, read, and update your pages and databases.
hue: 30
auth: Sign in with Notion
best-for: Looking things up and updating docs
```

## What you'll need

- A Notion account you can sign in to, with access to the workspace whose pages you want to reach.
- A running assistant. Connectors are set up per-assistant and the sign-in happens inside its private VM, so it needs to be awake.

## Connect it

1. Open the assistant you want to give access to, and make sure it's running.
2. Click **Connectors** in the sidebar to open the catalog.
3. Search for `Notion` to filter the list.
4. Click **Authorize** on Notion's card.
5. Your browser opens Notion's **own consent screen**. Notion lets you choose what to share during approval, so the assistant only reaches the pages you grant it.
6. Sign in if you're not already, pick the pages to share, and approve.
7. Back in HolaClaw, the connector verifies the connection and moves to **Active**.

For the full walkthrough and troubleshooting, see [Connect a service](/docs/connectors/connect-a-service).

## Try it

With Notion connected, message your assistant:

- *Find the onboarding page in Notion*
- *Add this book to my reading-list database*
- *Summarize Monday's meeting notes*

## If it stops working

If the connector shows **Re-authorize**, your sign-in with Notion has expired or been revoked. Click **Re-authorize** and approve again — there's nothing to reconfigure, you're just refreshing the access. For anything else, the troubleshooting in [Connect a service](/docs/connectors/connect-a-service) covers the rest.

## A quick word on privacy

Notion's access token lives **inside the assistant's private VM on your Mac** — never on HolaClaw's servers. Connectors are per-assistant, so authorizing Notion for one assistant gives no other assistant access to it. You can also revoke access any time from Notion's own connected-apps settings.
