These docs will help you learn how to seamlessly sync databases and pages from Notion into Scout for use in your AI workflows.

Scout provides the ability to setup a Notion source integration that syncs databases and pages from Notion into tables in your Scout collections as documents.

Setting up the integration

1

Connecting Notion to Scout

From the integrations section in the Scout dashboard, click connect on the Notion option.

2

Setting permissions of the integration

You’ll be prompted by Notion to connect Scout to your workspace.

You can select a workspace, then click “Select pages” to start selecting the content you want Scout in sync from Notion.

3

Creating the Notion collection in Scout

Navigate back to Scout, and create a new collection. You can title it Notion Sync.

4

Add columns to the Notion collection

Click into your newly created collection. On the right hand side, click the plus sign to add the new columns to the collection.

You will need to add two columns:

  1. Url - Set the column name to Url and the column type to URL.
  1. Title - Set the column name to Title and the column type to Single Line Text.
5

Connect your Notion integration as a source

In the upper right hand corner of the collection, click the Sources button.

Select the Notion option. Map the Notion sync return values into your table columns, and optionally configure a frequency if you want Scout to refresh the sync periodically.

The click Create +.

6

Run the source sync

Lastly, you will want to run the initial sync.

This will run a one time sync that pulls all of the notion pages and databases that you have grated the Scout integration access to. It’s best practice to inspect a few of the entries into the table to ensure everything looks good.

Sometimes there can be a delay in Notion granting permissions to child pages. If you notice that not everything you granted permissions to was synced, rerun the sync in 10-15 minutes. If the issue persists, please reach out to us on Slack.
