Connect

Notion

ProductivityOAuthNotion developer docs ↗

Notion connects through OAuth 2.0 as a public integration. You authorize Modiva from Notion's own consent screen and pick exactly which pages and databases to share — Modiva can then search, read and write those pages, query databases like content calendars, and read and add comments through one unified API and MCP server. Notion tokens never expire, so once connected the workspace stays connected until you revoke access.

Before you start

A Notion workspace.
Permission to add a connection to the pages you want to share.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Modiva
Log in at modiva.ai and open the Dashboard. You need a Modiva account before you can connect any platform — creating one takes a minute and no credit card is required for the free tier.
The Modiva dashboard — your home for connections, posts and analytics.
2
Open Connections → New connection
In the left sidebar choose Connections, then click New connection. You'll see the full catalogue of platforms grouped by category (Social, Ads and CRM).
The connection picker. Use the search box or category filter to find your platform.
3
Select Notion
Click the Notion card. Modiva redirects you to Notion's official sign-in and permission screen — your password is entered on Notion, never on Modiva.
Click Connect on the Notion card to start the secure OAuth flow.
4
Authorize Modiva on Notion
Review the permissions Modiva is requesting and approve them. If you manage more than one account, page or profile, pick the one you want Modiva to manage.
Notion's consent screen. Approve the requested scopes to continue.
5
You're connected
Notion now sends you back to Modiva and the connection appears with a green Connected status. From here it's available to every MCP key and API call in your workspace.
A healthy connection shows a green dot and the connected account name.

Permissions Modiva requests

When you connect Notion, Modiva asks only for the access it needs to run the tools you use. You can revoke it any time from Notion or by disconnecting in Modiva.

Read content on the pages you share
Insert and update content on shared pages
Read workspace users (without email addresses)
Read and add comments

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Where is my Notion password stored?

Nowhere. You sign in on the provider's own site and Modiva only receives a scoped access token, which is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Modiva never sees your password.

My connection says Expired or Error — what do I do?

Open Connections, find the platform and click Reconnect (or Refresh token). Providers periodically expire tokens or revoke them when you change your password; reconnecting re-runs the consent screen and restores access.

How do I disconnect?

Open Connections, click the Notion row and choose Disconnect. Modiva deletes the stored token immediately. You can also revoke Modiva from inside Notion's own app settings.

Why can't Modiva see one of my pages?

Notion only shares the pages and databases you selected on the consent screen. Open the page in Notion → Share → add the Modiva connection, or reconnect and select it during authorization.

Do Notion tokens expire?

No. Notion issues a long-lived token, so there's no background refresh — the connection stays healthy until you revoke the integration from Notion's settings.

Can Modiva write to my Notion pages?

Yes — on the pages you shared. Modiva can create pages, update properties (e.g. set a status from Draft to Published), append content blocks and add comments. Pages you didn't share are invisible to it.
