Notion is a versatile workspace for notes, project management, and knowledge bases. It allows teams to create and collaborate on documents, databases, and more.

## Before you begin

To begin monitoring Notion, ensure you have the following components and permissions in place:

- OpenLM components: OpenLM Cloud Broker, approved in [Broker Hub](https://openlm.com/documentation/cloud/data-collection/broker-hub).
- Platform-specific Requirements: You'll need administrative access to your Notion workspace to create an integration and generate an API key with the necessary read permissions.

## Configure data collection

1. Activate API Access: In your Notion workspace settings, create a new integration and generate an internal integration token.
2. Add Credentials: In the OpenLM Cloud Broker dashboard, find the Notion integration and enter the API token.
