💡 Share more later
In Notion, go to SettingsConnectionsNotiCordSelect page access.
⚠️ If setup was canceled or a picker looks incomplete
If you close or deny Discord or Notion authorization, run that step again. After you share a new database in Notion, it can take up to 1 minute to appear in NotiCord.
🔗 Your account link
If you connected the Notion workspace during setup, your own Discord account is linked automatically. Teammates still need their own link. See Account Linking.

3. Choose what to set up first

Option A: Send notifications to Discord

  1. Go to Notifications in the sidebar
  2. Click Create notification rule
  3. Leave the default All pages source, or switch to Database items or Selected pages
  4. If you choose Database items or Selected pages, pick the Notion source
  5. Pick where to send it
    • Discord channel sends to a shared channel
    • Direct message sends to one fixed linked account
  6. Choose which events should send notifications: New items, Item updates, Comments, or any combination
  7. Save the rule. NotiCord returns you to the notification rule list.

Test it: create or update something in Notion that matches the rule.

⏱️ Notifications are not instant
Most rules send notifications within about 1 minute, but Notion batching means some notifications take up to 5 minutes or longer.
⚠️ If the source is missing
If you keep All pages, you do not need to pick a specific source first. If you switch to Database items or Selected pages and the source is still missing, use the picker search first, then open Can't find your database? or Can't find your page? and refresh the list or paste a database, data source, or standalone page URL/ID. Newly shared pages and databases can take up to 1 minute to appear.

See Get Notifications in Discord for the full guide, Notification Rules Reference for exact rule behavior, and Notifications Not Working if a rule does not send notifications.

Option B: Use Discord Commands in Discord

  1. Go to Discord Commands
  2. Click Add command
  3. Start from the default name, such as Create Page, or rename it. Discord uses this name as the create-modal title.
  4. Pick a shared Notion database
  5. Review the slash command name that NotiCord fills, such as /create-page, or replace it with your own
  6. Review the default modal fields, page card fields, and quick actions
  7. Save

After you save, NotiCord returns to Discord Commands.

Create commands power the create modal, page card, and quick actions. If you also want Discord page lists, stay on Discord Commands and add a page list: click Add page list, start from the default Pages name or rename it, review the slash command that NotiCord fills such as /pages, pick the database, choose filters, row fields, page details, and any page-list quick actions, then save.

Test it: type your create command in Discord, fill out the modal, and submit it. If you added a page list, type that page-list command in Discord too.

⚠️ If the database is missing
Create-command pickers can take up to ~30 seconds on first load. Open Can't find your database? to refresh the list or paste a database or data source URL/ID if needed. Newly shared databases can take up to 1 minute to appear.
💡 Default create fields
Create-page modals support up to 5 total fields, including Title. After you pick a database, NotiCord preselects Title plus common workflow fields such as Status, Assignee, Date, and Content when they exist. Keep the useful ones and trim the rest for your workflow.

See Discord Commands for the full guide, Discord Commands Reference for settings, and Commands Not Working if commands are missing.


5. Know the core Discord commands

  • Your custom create commands create pages in the shared databases you connect for create commands.
  • A page-list command such as /pages opens one page list from Discord Commands.
  • Page-list commands that use is me require account linking.
  • /find searches page titles across the connected workspace.

See Discord Commands for the full command reference.
