# Connect Notion

Send your affiliates to a Notion database, one row each, with their stage.

Keep your affiliates in a Notion database. You make a connection in Notion, share one database with it, and we add a row for each affiliate.

A **connection** is Notion's name for an app you let into your workspace. It can only see the pages and databases you share with it.

## Make a connection in Notion

You need to be a workspace owner for this part.

1. In Notion, open **Settings**, then **Connections**, then Develop or manage integrations.
2. Press New integration. Pick your workspace and keep the type as **Internal**.
3. Copy the **Internal Integration Secret**.

## Share a database with it

1. Open the database you want your affiliates in. An empty one is fine.
2. Press the ••• menu, then **Connections**, and add the connection you just made.

## Connect

1. Go to **Settings**, then **Integrations**.
2. On the **Notion** card, press **Connect** and paste the secret.
3. Under **Affiliates go to**, pick the database. If it isn't there, share it with the connection in Notion, then press **Refresh the list**.

We check the secret with one read, then store it encrypted. You won't see it again.

## Send

1. Go to **Lists**.
2. On a list or a segment, press **Send to another tool**, then **Notion**.
3. Press **Check who goes**, then **Send to Notion**.

## What lands in Notion

- One row per affiliate with an email, matched on the **Email** column. Someone already there is updated.
- We add any of these columns the database doesn't have yet: **Email**, **RecruitAffiliates.ai stage**, **Channel**, **Profile link** and **RecruitAffiliates.ai link**. Your other columns are left alone.
- The affiliate's name goes in the database's title column, whatever you've called it.
- An update changes only the stage, so your own edits in Notion stay.
- Nobody who opted out, asked to be removed or was marked Do not contact ever goes. Nor does anyone who's already your partner, or anyone with no email.

## Keep stages in sync

Tick **Keep stages in sync** on the card. Once a day, anyone you sent who moved stage here is updated in Notion. Nothing comes back from Notion.

## Plans

Here, it needs a paid plan with exports, Launch or higher. Notion lets about three requests a second, so a big list takes a minute or two.
