Integrations

Notion

The notion integration allows you to automatically send responses to a Notion database of your choice.

If you are on a self-hosted instance, you will need to configure this integration separately. Please follow the guides here to configure integrations on your self-hosted instance.

  1. Sign up for a Notion account, if you don't have one already.
  2. Go to the my integrations page and click on New integration.
  3. Fill up the basic information like Name, Logo and click on Submit.
  4. Now, click on Distribution tab on the sidebar. A text will appear which will ask you to make the integration public. Click on that toggle button. A form will appear below the text.
  5. Now provide it the details such as requested. Under Redirect URIs field:
    • If you are running formbricks locally, you can enter http://localhost:3000/api/v1/integrations/notion/callback.
    • Or, you can enter https://<your-public-facing-url>/api/v1/integrations/notion/callback
  6. Once you've filled all the necessary details, click on Submit.
  7. A screen will appear which will have Client ID and Client secret. Copy them and set them as the environment variables in your Formbricks instance as:
    • NOTION_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID - OAuth Client ID
