How do I connect Notion?

Open Notion in ApexGenius Connections, choose Connect, and authorize the intended workspace in Notion. No Notion API key is pasted into ApexGenius.

Which pages can my AI read?

Your connected Notion user’s permissions set the content boundary. Enable the intended workspace resource in ApexGenius and select the tools your AI agent can use. This does not create a page-level allowlist.

Can I start with read-only access?

Yes. Choose Read only for your AI agent and use the dedicated Notion read route. This limits gateway calls; it does not change Notion’s underlying OAuth grant.

Can my agent update a page?

When the live Notion catalog and your access permit it, the existing mutation route can request the change. It requires approval. Review the exact page, proposed change, and undo limits first.

Are all Notion features included?

The tools available to your connected account depend on Notion’s live catalog, your permissions, and your plan. A successful account read does not certify every feature.

Why the gateway is here

It keeps the Notion authorization, tools, and activity behind the same managed route you use for your other supported systems.

Current governance

Know the account, tools, and result.

ApexGenius keeps the selected context and current tool surface visible, then records supported write activity for review.

Authorized context

Notion controls the OAuth grant and the content your user can access. Workspace access can be broad; ApexGenius does not promise a separate page-level allowlist.

Current tool surface

The read route checks Notion’s live tool annotation and rejects writes or unclassified operations.

Reviewable activity

The mutation route requires ApexGenius approval. Available operations and plan limits come from the current Notion catalog.

Disconnecting stops future gateway access. It does not undo a page edit, comment, upload, or other completed action.

Why a gateway

3 operations. Three tool definitions.

Your AI starts with three ApexGenius gateway tools. It discovers the Notion operations available to its authorization when a task needs them, then runs the selected operation through the gateway.

One saved provider connection

Connect Notion to ApexGenius, then authorize each AI client to use the saved connection with its own tool permissions.

Scoped per agent

Give one client read-only and the write operations never appear in its tool list at all.

Every call on the record

Which agent asked, what ran, and whether it succeeded, kept per connection for review.
