How to Connect Notion to Writelio

Send articles into a Notion database as fully-formatted pages.

Connect Writelio to Notion and send finished articles into a Notion database as fully-formatted pages — great for content calendars, internal wikis and review workflows. Connection uses an internal integration token and your database ID.

Before you start

A Notion workspace and a database to receive articles.
An internal integration created at notion.so/my-integrations.
The target database shared with that integration.

What you’ll need from Notion

Integration Tokennotion.so/my-integrations → New integration → copy the Internal Integration Secret (starts with secret_).

Database IDOpen your target database as a full page → copy the 32-character ID from the URL (the part before ?v=).

Connect Notion in 4 steps

Create a Notion integration

Go to notion.so/my-integrations, click New integration, name it Writelio, and copy the Internal Integration Secret.

Share your database with the integration

Open your target database in Notion, click ••• → Connections / Add connections, and select your Writelio integration. This step is required — without it, Notion returns “object not found”.

Copy the database ID

Open the database as a full page and copy the 32-character ID from the URL (everything after your workspace name and before ?v=).

Add the connection & publish

In Writelio Integrations → Notion → Configure, paste the token and database ID, Save, then publish from the editor’s Notion panel.

What gets published

Publishing to Notion creates a new page in your database with:

Title as the page name.
Article body converted to native Notion blocks — headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes and images become real Notion content (not a pasted blob).

Troubleshooting

“Could not find database” / object not found

You have not shared the database with the integration. Open the database → ••• → Connections → add your Writelio integration, then try again.

Invalid database ID

Use the 32-character ID from the database URL (before ?v=). Copying a view URL or page link instead of the database can include the wrong ID.

Token rejected

Use the Internal Integration Secret (secret_…) from my-integrations, and make sure the integration has not been deleted.

Frequently asked questions

Why must I share the database?

Notion integrations have no access by default. Explicitly connecting your database to the integration is what authorises Writelio to add pages to it.

Does it keep formatting?

Yes — Writelio converts the HTML into native Notion blocks, so headings, lists, quotes and images render properly.

Can I use Notion as a review step?

Absolutely — many teams publish to a Notion database first for review, then push live to their CMS.
