Personal connection

Each team member connects their own Notion account. On Belay stores a personal credential per user, so Claude accesses data scoped to that individual's permissions.

Go to notion.so/my-integrations → New Integration

2

Set a name and select your workspace

3

Copy the Internal Integration Token

4

In Notion, share the pages/databases you want with the integration

Ready to connect?

Go directly to the integrations page in your dashboard.

Permissions (scopes)

These are the data scopes On Belay can be granted for Notion. Your org admin controls which scopes are enabled per group.

databases:readRead databasesRead only
databases:writeWrite databasesRead / Write
users:readRead usersRead only

Troubleshooting

"Invalid API key" or "Unauthorized" error

Double-check that you copied the full key without any leading/trailing spaces. Some platforms show a truncated preview — make sure to copy the full token. If the key was generated with restricted scopes, verify it includes the permissions listed above.

Connected but Claude can't access data

Check that your group has been granted access to this integration in On Belay → Groups → [your group] → Integrations. Also verify the specific scopes your group is permitted to use match what your query requires.

The key expires or stops working

Some API keys have expiration policies. Generate a new key in Notion and update it in On Belay → Integrations → Notion → Update key. Consider creating a dedicated service account or machine user for On Belay so the key isn't tied to a personal account.
