Why Connect Notion with ChatGPT?

I used to juggle between Notion for managing my projects and ChatGPT for generating ideas or refining my writing.

Eventually, I realized I could integrate them and since then, I’ve cut down repetitive tasks, improved content workflows, and gained back hours every week. That’s “The Why“.

Connecting Notion with ChatGPT brings the power of AI into your daily tools. 

From simple summarizing meeting notes, generating to-do lists, to planning content and entire roadmaps. It actually transforms how you work without requiring complex tools or coding skills.

How It Works

When you connect Notion with ChatGPT, you allow two-way interaction:

  • ChatGPT can read your Notion pages or databases
  • ChatGPT can create or update content in Notion

This connection is typically enabled through third-party automation platforms like Zapier, Bardeen, or Appy Pie, or through API integrations using OpenAI and Notion’s developer platforms.

More recently, native plugin support has arrived in the ChatGPT desktop app.

Requirements

Here’s what you need to get started:

  • An active Notion account
  • A ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Teams or Enterpreise subscription and/or access to the ChatGPT desktop app
  • An integration tool (Zapier, Bardeen, or Appy Pie Automate)
  • Your Notion internal integration token
  • An OpenAI API key (if using API-level access)

Optional but helpful:

  • Google Chrome (for Bardeen)
  • A structured Notion workspace or template

Setup on Desktop

Method 1: Using Zapier (No-Code Automation)
  1. Sign in or create an account at zapier.com.
  2. Choose Notion as the trigger app and ChatGPT (OpenAI) as the action.
  3. Authenticate both Notion and OpenAI with their respective tokens.
  4. Set a trigger such as “new page in database” or “updated page”.
  5. Define an action in ChatGPT, such as “summarize this text” or “generate tasks”.
  6. Test the automation and activate it.

This method is best for automating workflows like summarizing meeting notes, generating content drafts, or updating Notion databases with AI-generated content.

Method 2: Using Bardeen (Browser-Based, Visual Workflow Builder)
  1. Install the Bardeen Chrome extension.
  2. Connect both your Notion and ChatGPT accounts.
  3. Use pre-made playbooks or build your own automation flow.
  4. Trigger them with one click or schedule them.

Popular Bardeen playbooks include:

  • Summarize Notion page using ChatGPT
  • Generate a blog outline from a Notion entry
  • Turn a Notion checklist into a follow-up email

Bardeen is excellent for people who prefer visual tools and flexible control without writing any code.

Method 3: ChatGPT Desktop App Plugin (Native Integration)

With the rollout of the ChatGPT desktop app in 2025, native Notion integration is now supported.

Steps:

  1. Download the ChatGPT app for macOS or Windows.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Plugins > Plugin Store.
  3. Search for and install the Notion plugin.
  4. Authorize access to your Notion workspace.
  5. Prompt ChatGPT directly with instructions like:
  • “Summarize the last five meeting notes in my team dashboard”
  • “Add today’s journal entry to my productivity tracker”

This is the most streamlined option and doesn’t require external tools.

Setup on Mobile

While there’s no direct plugin integration on mobile, the combination still works well:

  1. Use the ChatGPT app on your mobile device to generate text or ideas.
  2. Switch to the Notion app to paste or structure your content.
  3. If your automation is built with Zapier or Bardeen, use their mobile app or web dashboard to trigger them.

Once automations are set up on desktop, they can usually run in the background or be triggered via shortcuts, even on mobile.
