Add Notion as a social connection

How to set up social connection with Notion

Overview

Adding social connection with Notion to your app with Clerk is done in a few steps - you only need to set the Client ID, Client Secret and Redirect URI in your instance settings.

To make the development flow as smooth as possible, Clerk uses preconfigured shared OAuth credentials and redirect URIs for development instances - no other configuration is needed.

For production instances, you will need to generate your own Client ID and Client secret using your LinkedIn account.

Before you start

• You need to create a Clerk Application in your Clerk Dashboard. For more information, see the setup guide.
• You need to have a Notion developer account. To create one, click here.

Configuring Notion social connection

First, you need to create a new OAuth Notion app.

You need to set a name, a logo, and associate a Notion workspace with it. Make sure you are also requesting the user email address along with the other information and click Submit.

Navigate to the Clerk Dashboard. In the top navigation, select Configure. Then in the sidebar, select SSO connections. Select the Add connection button, and select For all users. In the Choose provider dropdown, select Notion. Toggle on Use custom credentials and copy Redirect URI. Paste the value into the Redirect URIs, as shown below, after changing the integration type to Public. Fill any other information required from Notion and click Submit.

Copy the Client ID and Client secret as shown in the above image. Go back to the Clerk Dashboard and paste them into the respective fields.

Finally, select Add connection so that the settings are applied. Congratulations! Social connection with Notion is now configured for your instance.
