Frequently Asked Questions about Gmail + Notion integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Gmail and Notion
How can I automatically save Gmail emails to a Notion database?
We suggest using triggers like 'New Email Matching Search' in Gmail. You can set actions to create or update items in Notion, storing email details such as subject, sender, and date.
Is it possible to create tasks in Notion from starred Gmail messages?
Yes, by utilizing a trigger like 'New Starred Email' in Gmail and setting the action to create a new page or task in your designated Notion database.
Can I tag emails in Gmail based on updates in my Notion workspace?
Currently, triggers are primarily Gmail-focused. You'd need an intermediate step or manual intervention for this specific workflow to work efficiently.
What happens if an email is deleted from Gmail after it's added to Notion?
Deleting an email from Gmail doesn’t automatically remove it from Notion. The integration typically doesn't backtrack; deleted emails need manual removal from your Notion database if necessary.
Are there any limitations with attachments when syncing between Gmail and Notion?
Attachments can be transferred but they might not retain their original format. Check our guidelines regarding file types and sizes for smoother operations.
How often are Gmail actions synced with my Notion workspace?
Integration checks and processes based on the activity or trigger settings you define—this could vary according to the plan you're subscribed to.
Do changes made in Notion reflect back into my Gmail automatically?
While the integration primarily captures details from email changes and incorporates them into Notion, it doesn't retroactively affect your emails once processed.
