Connect OpenClaw to Notion for AI-powered knowledge management. Query your Notion databases, create pages, update tasks, and keep your second brain in sync.

Notion is where many people keep their second brain — projects, notes, meeting summaries, research. Connecting it to OpenClaw turns it into an active system rather than a passive archive. Here's how.

Create a Notion Integration

Go to notion.so/my-integrations
Click "New integration"
Name it "OpenClaw Agent"
Select your workspace
Enable these capabilities: Read content, Update content, Insert content, Read comments
Copy the Internal Integration Token

Connect OpenClaw

openclaw config set integrations.notion.token secret_YOUR_TOKEN

Grant Page Access

This step people often miss: you need to explicitly share each Notion page/database with your integration. Open any page you want OpenClaw to access, click the "..." menu, and select "Add connections" > your integration name.

Basic Usage

Once connected, ask your agent:

"Add a task to my Projects database: build the landing page"
"Summarize my meeting notes from last week"
"Find everything I've written about OpenClaw in Notion"
"Create a new page in my Research database about [topic]"

Automated Daily Notes

Add to HEARTBEAT.md:

- Every morning, create a Daily Note page in Notion with:
  - Today's date as the title
  - A section for priorities
  - Any pending tasks from yesterday's note

Meeting Note Capture

During meetings, you can message your agent on Slack: "Note for meeting: we decided to push the launch to April 15th." It creates or updates a Notion page automatically.

Database Queries

# In a Slack message to your agent:
"What projects are due this week in my Notion Projects database?"
"How many tasks do I have in backlog status?"

Bi-directional Sync

One powerful pattern: use Notion as your task database and OpenClaw as the executor. Tasks created in Notion flow to your agent's work queue. Completed work gets marked done in Notion automatically.

The OpenClaw Playbook has a knowledge management chapter covering Notion integration patterns, how to structure your Notion workspace for AI consumption, and building automated research pipelines that populate Notion databases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can OpenClaw read my entire Notion workspace?

Only pages and databases you explicitly share with the integration. When setting up the Notion API connection, you choose which pages to grant access to.

Can OpenClaw create and update Notion pages automatically?

Yes. OpenClaw can create new pages in any database it has access to, update existing page properties, and append content to pages. This is useful for automated note-taking and task creation.

How does OpenClaw search across my Notion notes?

Via Notion's search API. Ask your agent to find specific content and it searches across all accessible pages. It can then summarize findings or create new notes based on what it finds.

Can OpenClaw sync data between Notion and other tools?

Yes. OpenClaw is the glue layer — it can read from Notion, process with AI, and write to Slack, GitHub, email, or back to Notion. Custom sync workflows are one of the most powerful use cases.
