How to connect Gmail and Notion

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Gmail and Notion nodes

You can find Gmail and Notion in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Gmail and Notion nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Send labeled email to a Notion database

Prerequisites

Notion account and Notion credentials.
Google account and Google credentials.

How it works

On scheduled intervals, find all emails with a specific label. For each email, check if the email already exists in the Notion database. If it does not exist, create a new page in the Notion database, otherwise do nothing. When the task in the Notion database is checked off, the label will be removed from the email.

Setup

This workflow requires that you set up a Notion database or use an existing one with at least the following fields:

Title (title)
Thread ID (text)
Email thread (URL)

Additionally, create a label that will be used to trigger the workflow in Gmail. In this workflow, the label is called "Notion".
