# Notion

> Search pages, read content, and query databases in your Notion workspace.

Connect Indexbrain to Notion to search and read your workspace documentation — including structured queries against Notion databases.

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Integrations">
    Navigate to **Settings > Integrations > Notion**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize">
    Click **Connect** and select which pages and databases to share.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  When connecting, you choose which Notion pages Indexbrain can access — this
  is Notion's own sharing screen, shown during authorization. You can update
  what's shared later from Notion's own settings, without reconnecting.
</Note>

## Capabilities

Indexbrain can search pages, read their content, and run structured queries against your Notion databases.

### Search and answer questions

```
Find our authentication architecture.
What did we decide about Slack sync?
Summarize all PRDs related to Indexbrain.
```

Search results draw on both distilled knowledge facts and, when needed, the raw page text itself. To search Notion specifically rather than every connected source, ask to search Notion directly — this is scoped under the hood so it doesn't pull in Slack, Linear, or anything else.

### Query databases

Database rows are pages whose data mostly lives in their properties (Status, Assignee, Priority, Due Date, etc.) — Indexbrain reads all of that, not just page titles, so a question like:

```
What's in our roadmap database that's marked In Progress?
```

resolves the database by name, builds a real filter against the matching property, and returns the actual rows — not a fuzzy text-search guess.

<Warning>
  Database queries currently support **one filter condition at a time**
  (e.g. Status = "In Progress"). Combined conditions ("high priority AND
  assigned to Sarah") aren't supported yet — ask one filter at a time, or
  ask for everything and narrow down in conversation.
</Warning>

Supported filter types: Status, Select, Multi-select, Checkbox. Person-based filters ("assigned to Sarah") and date-range filters aren't supported yet — those return unfiltered results with a note explaining why, rather than failing silently.

### Find decisions in meeting notes

Decisions extracted from Notion pages are tagged as such, so a question like *"what did we decide about X"* can surface the actual decision along with what it replaced, if anything.

## How data moves

1. **Live sync** — when Notion reports a page was created, edited, or deleted (via a webhook), Indexbrain picks it up and re-indexes just that page within about a minute — no need to wait for a full resync.
2. **Scheduled sync** — separately, a full sync runs on your configured processing interval, re-checking everything as a backstop.
3. Once ingested, a page becomes searchable knowledge within roughly another minute — extraction runs continuously in the background, not on a long batch delay.

<Note>
  Live sync requires a webhook to be registered with Notion — this is a
  one-time setup step in Notion's own integration settings, separate from
  connecting the integration itself. Until it's registered, Notion falls
  back to the scheduled sync only.
</Note>

## What gets read

* Page title, body content (up to 4,000 characters per page, nested blocks up to 3 levels deep).
* All page properties — Status, Assignee, Priority, dates, tags, checkboxes, and more.
* Inline databases embedded in a page (flattened into a readable table).
* Top-level databases — their title and property schema are recorded even before a specific row is asked about.

## What Indexbrain does not do in Notion (yet)

* **No write access.** Indexbrain cannot create or update pages, database entries, or tasks — every connected integration is read-only by design.
* **No multi-condition database filters** — one property filter per query.
* **No person-name or date-range filters** on database queries.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A page I edited isn't showing up">
    * If live sync isn't registered yet, it can take up to your configured processing interval (default 4 hours) to appear.
    * Confirm the page is actually shared with the Indexbrain integration in Notion (check Notion's own sharing settings for that page).
    * Very short or empty pages are filtered out before reaching the AI.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A database query returns nothing or the wrong rows">
    * Confirm the database name you used roughly matches its title in Notion.
    * Confirm the property name and value you're filtering on exist and are spelled the way they appear in Notion.
    * Remember only one filter condition is supported at a time.
