NotionFlare turns Notion into a public site and a searchable Knowledge Base. Members /ask in Telegram, Discord, or Slack — answers cite pages you already wrote.

Search vs Ask vs official demo

Three different surfaces — do not mix them up:

  1. Command-K → Search — Visitors find published docs and posts by title/metadata. No LLM. No Ask quota.
  2. Command-K → Ask (sign-in required) — Answers from your Knowledge Base with citations. Uses your account Ask quota (same as Dashboard Try /ask).
  3. Official demo `/ask` — Product FAQ from NotionFlare’s public docs (Telegram / Discord demos). Does not use your private Notion or your quota.

Community /ask in groups you link is the same Ask Core as Dashboard Try /ask and Command-K Ask: your synced posts only.

1. Connect Notion

Sign in at notionflare.com, open Dashboard → Notion, and connect your workspace.

On Pro and Business, an empty Status defaults to private (Knowledge Base only — not on the public site). Set Status to public when you want a page on the web. Optionally turn on platform discovery under Settings → Preferences so public posts can appear in the official demo corpus.

Full steps: Notion setup. How edits stay live: Keep edits in sync.

2. Knowledge Base

Synced posts feed Ask so the bot can answer with citations. Test in Dashboard → Ask → Try /ask or Command-K → Ask after you sign in.

Optional: enable image text under Preferences (screenshots and diagrams; separate quota from /ask).

Details: Knowledge Base · terms: glossary. Write pages members will ask about: Write for Ask.

3. Ask in chat

Link an IM surface, then members use /ask (same Ask Core on every channel):

Channel
Setup
Telegram
Discord
Slack

How answers cite Notion: How /ask cites sources. Public vs member corpus: Private vs public.

Pro fits smaller groups; Business is built for larger communities with higher /ask quotas. Free can still run Public-only IM /ask for inquiry FAQs — see Pricing FAQ.

5-minute checklist

  1. Connect Notion and confirm sync under Dashboard → Notion.
  2. Set at least one page to a Status your plan can index; wait for sync (or Sync now).
  3. Open Try /ask (or Command-K → Ask) and ask a question that appears in that page — confirm Sources point at it.
  4. Link one Telegram, Discord, or Slack surface and run /ask once in the linked room.
  5. Optional: turn on platform discovery only if you want public posts in the official demos.
