The Notion integration connects your Notion workspace to 15Five AI, bringing the plans, documentation, project updates, and shared knowledge your teams create into 15Five's context layer.
By incorporating information from selected Notion pages and databases, 15Five Agents can better understand organizational priorities, project context, and the work happening across teams. This additional context helps generate more relevant insights, summaries, and recommendations while keeping managers and employees aligned around shared goals and initiatives.
Note: To ensure the highest level of security, 15Five is continually investing in our overall information security program, resources, and expertise. To review 15Five's security documents, and how we handle your company data, see our Trust Website.

Feature Structure
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Notion Connection | Connects a Notion workspace to 15Five AI through Notion's native integration framework. |
| Page Selection Controls | Allows administrators to determine which pages and databases are shared with the integration. |
| Content Sync | Processes content from selected pages and databases to provide context for AI-generated insights. |
| Metadata Sync | Preserves page structure, ownership, timestamps, and other contextual information. |
| User Matching | Associates Notion users with their corresponding 15Five accounts. |
| Agents & Insights | Makes organizational knowledge available to Agents and AI-powered experiences. |
How Access Works
The Notion integration uses a page-based access model.
When connecting Notion, administrators explicitly select which pages and databases are shared with the integration. Only content from those selected pages becomes available to 15Five AI.
Page access follows Notion's native sharing model. If a parent page is shared, all child pages nested beneath it are automatically included. This means teams can grant access to an entire section of their workspace without manually selecting every page.
Access can be adjusted at any time within Notion by adding or removing pages from the integration.
What Gets Synced
Once connected, 15Five AI syncs selected pages, databases, and workspace user information.
Selected Pages and Databases
| Data Type | Included Information |
|---|---|
| Page Content | Content from selected pages and databases used to generate insights and summaries |
| Page Metadata | Titles, page types, URLs, and parent-child relationships |
| Timestamps | Created and last-edited dates |
| Ownership Information | Created-by and last-edited-by user references |
| Page Properties | Status, tags, and published dates when available |
Workspace Users
To properly attribute work and content, the integration also syncs:
- Names
- Email addresses
- Profile avatars
This information is used to associate Notion contributors with their corresponding 15Five accounts.
Historical Activity
When first connected, 15Five AI imports up to one month of historical content and activity. After the initial backfill, updates are synchronized multiple times per day to keep information current.
What Does Not Get Synced
The Notion integration is intentionally limited to content that has been explicitly shared with the connection.
The following are not currently synced:
- Pages and databases that have not been shared with the integration
- Content outside the selected page hierarchy
- Comments and comment threads
Although the integration requests permission to read comments, comment data is not currently ingested.
Permissions Overview
The integration requests a limited set of permissions to access shared content and associate it with users.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Read Content | Access page and database content, metadata, and page hierarchy information |
| Read Comments | While the integration can read comments on shared pages and databases, comment data is not currently synced into 15Five AI. |
| Read User Information | Read names and email addresses to associate Notion users with 15Five accounts |
The integration is read-only and cannot create, edit, delete, or modify content in Notion.
