Send form responses to Notion

Every response becomes a page in your Notion database, each answer in a property of the right type, files attached.

  • Free on every plan
  • Listed in Notion’s integration gallery
  • No Zapier or Make in between

Free forever, no credit card.

  1. Build your form, or start from a template.
  2. Connect Notion and pick a database, or create one from the form in one click. Nextforms is listed in Notion’s integration gallery.
  3. Share the form. Every response arrives as a page, a moment later.

A database in one click, or the one you have

Create a new database from the step and it gets a property for every question, each with the right type, already mapped. Or pick a database you already use: questions are matched to its properties by name, and anything missing is one click away.

Your database stays yours. Nextforms only adds a property when you ask it to, and properties are remembered by Notion’s own id, so renaming or rearranging them in Notion doesn’t break anything.

Every answer in the right type

Numbers go into Number properties, so Notion can sum and sort them. Dates go into Date properties, with the time in your team’s time zone. Choices become Select and Multi-select options, a yes/no becomes a checkbox, and email addresses, phone numbers and links land in their own property types. The response itself can be the page title, linked back to it in Nextforms.

Uploaded files, attached

Files from an upload question are uploaded to Notion and attached to the page, not linked from somewhere else. When a file is too large for your Notion plan, the page is still written and the run tells you which file was left off and why.

Corrected answers update the same page

When a respondent corrects their answers, after you send the response back for changes, the workflow runs again and the page written the first time gets the new answers. Only the properties the form writes change, so notes and statuses your team added in Notion stay. Prefer a new page per version? That’s one switch.

Filled in inside Notion

Embed the form in any Notion page with /embed, so people can fill it in without leaving Notion. The answers land in your database a moment later.

Your database as the options

Notion can also feed the form. A Database choice question offers the rows of a Notion database as its options: the events with seats left, the products in stock. Add a row in Notion and it’s on the form within minutes, without publishing again. Map the question to a Relation property and the new page is linked to the rows that were picked, so a rollup counts the sign-ups per event. See Database choice.

Part of a workflow

The Notion step sits in the same workflow as everything else, so it can:

  • write only the responses that pass a condition, such as budget over 5,000
  • write to a different database per branch of a route
  • run after an approval (Pro), so only approved requests reach the board
  • send the confirmation email and post to Slack in the same run

Each run shows the page it wrote, and a failed one says why, with a retry once it’s fixed.

Good for

  • Lead and client intake: every enquiry as a card on the sales board.
  • Hiring: applications with their CV attached, straight into the pipeline.
  • Requests and bug reports: submissions as tasks your team can assign.
  • Event sign-ups: a guest list you can filter and share.

See the Notion guide for the setup, step by step.
