Notion - Agent

A service account with admin access is required to connect Notion to Corma with the Agent. For Notion specifically this requires to pay for an additional license. If you don’t want to add another license, you can still share your own admin credentials.

With the Agent connected to Notion, you can:

• Collect license types: retrieve every Notion licenses used by your employees, and have them listed in Corma by types, which are either guest or paid licenses. Get valuable insights on who is using what in your company to quickly make sure everyone has the appropriate Notion license at the right time.
  

• License (de)provisioning: automatically create or delete Notion accounts from Corma without going manually to your Notion workspace. The agent now automatically handles these tasks, fully on its own, and without needing any SCIM or any public API either.
  

Retrieved data: License Type, License Role, Email, Username

Here’s how to setup your Notion Agent properly:

1. On your Corma app go to the Data sources page

   https://app.corma.io/integrations

2. Under "All data sources" search for “Notion” and find the one with the agent icon. Then click on “Connect”

   

3. Click on "Connect" again

   

4. Select your authentication method

   

   • Method 1: provide your credentials for autonomous agent integration

     Provide Corma with your Notion service account credentials directly (that must have admin rights). Corma will handle the login automatically, including TOTP-based 2FA codes (e.g., Google Authenticator).

   • Method 2: manually connect to let us save your session temporarily

     Corma opens an embedded browser where you log in manually, using your Notion service account credentials (with admin rights). Your session is then saved and the agent acts on your behalf within that session. With this method, no password is ever stored.

5. Method 1: Service account credentials

   1. Use this if your service account uses:

      • the email address of the service account

      • the password linked to this email address

      • Optionally, a TOTP-based authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy). You'll then need to provide Corma with your TOTP key for the agent to get access to your one-time generated passwords.

      We strongly recommend you to use a dedicated service account for this agent setup, not your personal account credentials.

   2. Enter your Notion service account credentials in the fields provided (email, password, and TOTP key if applicable) and click on “Connect“

      OTP via email or phone are not handled in this method. If the login fails or redirects to a company SSO page, switch to Method 2.

      

   3. Select which workspace you want the agent to operate on. You can find the name of your Notion workspace in the top left corner of your Notion app. If you have different workspaces, filter on the one you want.

      Please indicate the exact workspace name as it appears in the app's interface (not an ID or URL), ensuring the agent operates on the correct workspace and not on a personal or unrelated account.

      

   4. Confirm that the Agent successfully logs in

      

      1. A browser will pop up, with the agent automatically starting to log in to Notion using the service account credentials. The first agent login takes some time.

      2. You can click on “Take control” at any time to stop the run, and manually interact with the browser. You can then resume at any time, clicking on the same button now showing “Resume”.

      3. You can also click on “Cancel” to stop the agent completely. You’ll be redirected to the “Authentication Strategy” card.

      4. If for some reason the agent can’t log in, you’ll be asked to manually enter your credentials and log in.

      5. Once the agent is successfully logged in, you then need to click on “Validate login”.

         

      6. You’ve successfully connected Notion to Corma!

6. Method 2: Interactive session

   Disclaimer: this method only saves your session. Therefore, if the session were to expire, Corma will ask you to connect manually again.

   1. For this method, Corma will directly open an embedded browser:

      • Manually enter your service account email address

      • if you receive a 2FA code on this email, enter it in the browser

      Use the "Continue with email" button whenever possible. Don’t use any SSO connection method (Google, Microsoft...). If an SSO is setup for the service account, you don’t need to deactive it.

      

   2. Once you successfully logged in, click on “Validate login”

      

   3. You’ve successfully connected Notion to Corma!

7. Data should be synchronized within the next 24 hours and will be synched every day to your Corma app.
