Notion setup
Connect Notion OAuth, required Title Slug Status properties, private vs public, and sync troubleshooting.
Write once in Notion. NotionFlare syncs Title, Slug, Status, and body into your site and Knowledge Base.
Interface language vs article language
The dashboard and marketing chrome follow your browser language (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Japanese). Blog posts still use the content locale in the URL (/slug, /slug/zh/post, /slug/ja/post). Traditional Chinese UI still reads the existing zh article corpus — there is no separate Traditional Chinese translation library yet.
Connect Notion (OAuth)
- Open Dashboard → Notion.
- Click Connect Notion and finish OAuth. If a template is configured, you can duplicate it during OAuth.
- NotionFlare links a Blog Posts database (from the template, an existing compatible database with Title + Slug + Status, or one created for you).
- Allow the integration to access the pages you will use.
What properties are required?
Minimum for a compatible Blog Posts database:
- Title (or Name) — page title
- Slug — URL segment (rich text)
- Status — select with at least
private,public,draft,archived(template also creates these)
Useful extras the template may include: Description, Excerpt, Locale, Featured Image, Tags, Category, Type (blog / docs on platform docs). You do not need every optional column to sync.
Manual create / pick (fallback)
If auto-setup did not run, use Create Blog Database or pick an existing compatible database. Share that database with the NotionFlare integration if pages fail to sync.
Keep edits in sync
After connecting, confirm sync status in the dashboard. When you create or edit a page, NotionFlare updates your site and Knowledge Base without manual export.

- Free: If Status is empty, it usually defaults to public.
- Pro / Business: If Status is empty, it defaults to private (Knowledge Base only). Set Status to public only when you want the post on the public web.
Full notes: Keep edits in sync.
Private Knowledge Base vs public blog
- private — Good for knowledge you do not want on the open web. Indexed for your Knowledge Base; not listed on the public blog, Command-K Search, RSS, or sitemap.
- public — Appears on your public site, and you can opt those posts into platform discovery for the official demos.

How do I know Notion is connected?
Dashboard → Notion should show a connected workspace and a linked Blog Posts database. Create or edit a test page and confirm it appears after sync (or Sync now).
Why don’t my pages sync?
