Want to keep your Notion workspace updated whenever something new happens on your Discord server? While Notion doesn’t offer a native Discord integration, you can still connect both using Zapier. It’s a handy way to automate tasks—like sending notifications or creating new Notion database entries—whenever a key event happens in your Discord community. In this guide, you’ll learn how to set everything up, step by step.

Check for Native Notion Integrations

Discord does not currently appear on Notion’s official integrations list. Since there is no built-in Discord connection, you can turn to a third-party tool like Zapier. This allows you to capture Discord events—such as new messages or new channel activity—and then send them to Notion.

Using Zapier to Connect Discord and Notion

If you want detailed control over how your Discord events appear in Notion, connecting via Zapier is an excellent option. Below is a step-by-step outline to get you started:

Step 1: Create a Zapier Account

• Go to Zapier.com and sign up for a free account if you don’t have one.
• After you log in, you’ll land on the Zapier dashboard—this is where you can create and manage your Zaps.

Step 2: Set Up a New Zap

• From your Zapier dashboard, click “Create Zap.”
• Give your new Zap a descriptive name, like “Discord to Notion Automation.”

Step 3: Choose Discord as the Trigger

• In the “Trigger” section, type “Discord” in the search bar and select it from the results.
• Pick the event that will kick off your workflow (like “New Message Posted to Channel”).
• Log in to your Discord account through Zapier and authorize Zapier’s access to the relevant server/channel.

Step 4: Choose Notion as the Action

• For the “Action” step, search for and select “Notion.”
• Select what you want Zapier to do in Notion. A common option is “Create Database Item.”
• Connect your Notion account, making sure you grant the necessary permissions to Zapier to access your databases.

Step 5: Configure Fields and Filters

• Map the fields from Discord to the corresponding fields in your Notion database. For instance, you can link the message content to a “Description” field in Notion.
• If you only want to capture certain types of messages, add filters in Zapier to narrow down which events get sent to Notion.

Step 6: Test and Activate Your Zap

• Run a quick test to verify that your setup works. Zapier will send a test message to your Notion database.
• If the test is successful, turn on your Zap by clicking the “Publish” or “Turn on Zap” button.
• Now you’re all set—new Discord messages or events will be automatically recorded in Notion!

Common Use Cases and Examples

Wondering how to make the most of a Discord-Notion integration? Here are a few ideas:

Capture Important Conversation Points

• Automatically create a new Notion page if a Discord mention includes a specified keyword.
• Keep a running record of valuable chat snippets or questions posed by your community.

Automatically Log Support Tickets

• Send new messages from a support channel in Discord to a Notion ticket-tracking database.
• Save time by centralizing your support tasks in one place and referencing them easily in Notion.

Organize Community Feedback

• Capture community suggestions from Discord into a Notion feedback queue.
• Assign statuses or priorities directly in your Notion database.

Helpful Tips and Best Practices

To ensure you get the most out of your Discord–Notion integration, keep these suggestions in mind:

Stay Organized

• Create a dedicated Notion database for each type of Discord event (e.g., user suggestions, bug reports, or chat highlights).
• Use consistent naming conventions for your databases and properties to avoid confusion.

Use Multi-Step Zaps

• Include extra steps for filtering or formatting data. For instance, you could parse out user names or embed relevant links in the Notion entry.
• These additional steps help ensure the data flowing from Discord is accurate and usable.

Monitor Errors

• Regularly check Zapier’s “Task History” to see if any errors pop up, such as missing permissions or data mismatches.
• Resolve errors promptly to keep your automation running smoothly.

Troubleshooting

Most connection issues with Discord and Notion boil down to permission settings or database configuration. Here’s what to do if you hit a snag:

Check Permissions

• Ensure the bot or user you use to connect Zapier to Discord has the right roles and access in your Discord server.
• In Notion, confirm that you’ve shared your database with the Zapier integration.

Verify Field Matchups

• Make sure the data you’re trying to send from Discord matches existing fields in your Notion database.
• If the fields don’t align, you may get an error or missing data in your Notion entry.

Consult Official Documentation

• For advanced setups, visit Notion’s API documentation or Zapier’s support guides.
• Discord’s developer docs can help if you’re creating custom bots or slash commands.

Conclusion

With a little help from Zapier, you can connect Discord and Notion so that important events, messages, or feedback from your server land safely in your Notion workspace. By following the steps outlined here, you’ll have a time-saving solution in place that captures conversations, organizes them, and makes them easy to reference. Try experimenting with additional triggers, filters, or multi-step automations to build out a seamless Discord–Notion workflow.
