Notion

By connecting Super with your Notion workspace, you can instantly search for all your pages, databases, and comments directly in Super. This guide will walk you through the key aspects of the Super and Notion connection.


Connecting Notion & Super

This is the first step to get started. This section covers how to set up the connection between your Super and Notion workspaces.


Required Permissions for Setup

To connect Super with Notion, you must have the necessary permissions in both platforms.
  • In Super: Permission to add or remove data sources depends on your team's settings. By default, only Admins or Owners can set up a connection. However, a Super Admin can enable a setting to allow all members to add or remove data sources.
  • In Notion: You must be a Workspace Owner to create the initial integration. Once created, you must have access to the pages and databases you wish to sync.


Initial Notion Connection

To begin, you need to connect your Notion workspace with your Super account.
    In Super, navigate to the Data Sources page.
    Find the Notion option and click Update the pages to sync.
    A new window will open.
    First, you'll be prompted to select the Notion workspace you want to connect.
    Then, you will select the top-level pages from your Private, Shared, or Teamspace areas.
    Finally, review the permissions and click Allow access.

Unlike some other tools, Notion's API does not support selecting individual pages during the connection process. Instead, you grant Super access to top-level parent pages or databases. Super can then index all child pages nested within your selections. This ensures that you can sync large sections of your Notion content without having to select each page one by one.


Managing Your Notion Sync

Due to the technical design of Notion's API, you cannot manage individual pages from within the Super app. Super's access is granted at the workspace level during the initial connection. However, you have two clear options for managing your synced content:
    In Notion: Remove a specific page from the sync
    Go to the page in your Notion workspace.
    Click the ••• menu at the top right.
    Go to Connections and disconnect the Super app.
    In Slite: Remove the entire Notion workspace
    In Super, navigate to Data Sources.
    Find your Notion source and click the three-dot menu.
    Select Remove Source to disconnect all content from your workspace.


How Super Indexes Your Notion Workspace

What We Sync

Super syncs pages and databases that have been shared with the Super integration. We index the full text content, along with metadata and attachments. We do not access private or restricted content that has not been explicitly shared with the integration.

Pages

Super indexes the full text of all pages, including titles and media attachments. When you search, queries on pages will return results based on the full body of the text, providing comprehensive search across your documents.

Databases

Database Sync Limit: The sync will only import up to 5,000 pages per database.
When you sync a database, Super indexes its metadata, properties, and all child pages within it. While this enables powerful queries on your database, certain property types cannot be indexed due to the nature of the Notion API. This means Super cannot search for relations, rollups, or formulas, nor can it identify users associated with a page like "Created by" or "Last edited by."


Refresh Rate

Super performs a full content sync every 12 hours to check for updates.


Metadata

To make your search results more useful, Super automatically pulls and indexes key information from your Notion pages and databases. This includes:
  • Page and database titles
  • Creation and last edited dates
  • Authors and last edited by information
  • Hierarchical context (parent pages, breadcrumbs)
  • Database properties, icons, and structure


Access Control & Privacy

Super respects Notion's privacy settings. It will only index and display content that has been explicitly shared with the Super integration. This ensures that search results are private and secure, matching your team's existing access controls.
