Notion Integration

← Back

Customers lose momentum when answers hide in Notion pages and wiki tabs. The Brainfish + Notion integration turns your Notion workspace into in-product guidance that resolves questions as users work. Brainfish syncs selected databases and pages automatically, so your knowledge stays current. Then our AI support agents for in-product help deliver accurate, contextual answers, while customer analytics show what content performs. Together, Brainfish and Notion power AI customer service without adding headcount.

How does AI customer service work with Brainfish and Notion?

Brainfish ingests your chosen Notion pages, keeps them synced, and uses that knowledge to answer questions in real time. It learns from interactions and improves your content strategy using insights from our Content Sync integrations and analytics.

Authorize Notion: Connect your Notion workspace using OAuth 2.0 or an integration token.
Map content fields: Choose databases and pages, and map title, body, tags, and locale fields.
Set sync cadence: Pick real time on change or a scheduled interval and locales to include.
Install the in-product agent: Add the Brainfish snippet or SDK to your web app and set handoff rules.
Monitor and improve: Review analytics, close gaps, and retrain with updated Notion pages.

To learn more about Notion’s platform, see the Notion API documentation and the Notion OAuth 2.0 guide for scoped access.
