Frequently Asked Questions about Google Docs + Notion integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Docs and Notion

How can I automatically save Google Docs to Notion?

You can set up a trigger in Zapier where any new or modified Google Doc will automatically be saved or updated in a designated Notion page. This involves creating a Zap with the trigger being 'New Document' or 'Document Updated' in Google Docs and the action being 'Create Database Item' in Notion.

Is it possible to update Notion when a Google Doc is edited?

Yes, by setting up an automated workflow with Zapier, you can track changes or updates in Google Docs and reflect those changes in Notion. Set the trigger as 'Document Updated' in Google Docs and connect it to the 'Update Database Item' action for Notion.

Can I create a Google Doc from content published on Notion?

Certainly. You can configure a Zap that listens for new pages or database entries added to your Notion workspace and triggers the creation of a new document in Google Docs using this information.

Does integration allow copying images from Google Docs to Notion?

At present, we primarily support text data between Google Docs and Notion. Image transfer might require additional steps or manual adjustments to ensure complete content moves across services.

What triggers support the integration between Google Docs and Notion?

The integration supports various triggers like 'New Document,' 'Document Updated,' and even specific searches within documents. These triggers enable dynamic actions such as creating or updating database items on your linked Notion account.

Are there limitations on file types when syncing between Google Docs and Notion?

The synchronization primarily deals with text-based documents. Any non-text elements may need manual handling as we currently emphasize efficiency for document-based workflows rather than multimedia content.

How often do automated tasks between these apps run through our platform?

Automated tasks via Zapier typically run as frequently as every five minutes for paid plans. The free plan has some limitations such as running every 15 minutes, ensuring updates are relatively prompt without overwhelming system resources.

Practical ways you can use Google Docs and Notion

Sync meeting notes with Notion.

When new meeting notes are created in Google Docs in a specific folder, Zapier automatically creates a page in Notion with those notes. This ensures meeting takeaways are centralized, accessible, and actionable, improving organization and collaboration.

Business Owner

Save brainstorming ideas in Notion.

When a new brainstorming document is created in Google Docs, Zapier copies the content into Notion as a new idea page. This preserves creative ideas and ensures the marketing team can easily find and build on previous brainstorming sessions.

Marketing & Marketing Ops

Try it

Track project updates in Notion.

When a new document is created in a designated Google Docs folder for project updates, Zapier sends it to Notion as a new page in your project tracker. This streamlines project management documentation and ensures updates are automatically organized without manual data entry.
