Notion

The Notion integration publishes Grandranker articles as rows in a Notion database. Each article becomes a new database entry, and you control which database properties receive the title, status, URL, and publish date.

How to Connect

1. In Notion, create or open a full-page database. It needs a Title property; add Status, URL, and a Date property if you want to map them later.
2. In Grandranker, open Integrations, pick Notion, and click Connect Notion. You will be redirected to Notion to authorize Grandranker and choose which pages it can access.
3. Back in Notion, open the database and click the ••• menu (top-right). Go to Connections, then Connect to, then pick your Grandranker integration.
4. Return to Grandranker. The page shows Connected with your workspace name. Open the Database dropdown and select your database.
5. Map the database properties:
   • Title property (required): where the article title goes.
   • Status property (optional): a Status or Select property, plus a Default status value (e.g. "Published") that Grandranker sets on each new row.
   • URL property (optional): receives the article's URL.
   • Published date property (optional): a Date property that receives the publish date.
6. Click Save Settings.

Publishing & Verifying

When an article publishes, Grandranker adds a row to your database. The title lands in your mapped Title property, the article content is written into the page body, and any mapped status, URL, and date properties are filled in. Scheduled articles from the Content Planner are sent automatically.

To verify, publish one article and open your Notion database. A new row should appear with the mapped properties set. Open the row to check the article body.

To disconnect, click Disconnect on the Notion integration page.

Troubleshooting

The Database dropdown shows "No databases found"

Grandranker can only see databases that are explicitly connected to the integration. In Notion, open the database, click •••, go to Connections, and connect your Grandranker integration. Then reopen the dropdown. It must be a database, not a regular page.

My database is missing from the list

The connection is per-database (or per-parent page). Also check that you picked the right workspace during the OAuth step. If you authorized the wrong workspace, disconnect and click Connect Notion again.

"Could not load that database"

The database was likely deleted, moved, or its connection to the Grandranker integration was removed. Re-add the connection in Notion and select the database again.

No properties show up for mapping

Property dropdowns are filtered by type. The Title mapping lists only title properties, Status lists status/select properties, URL lists URL properties, and Published date lists date properties. If a dropdown is empty, add a property of that type to the database in Notion, then re-select the database to reload its schema.

Articles arrive without a status

Make sure you mapped a Status property and typed a Default status value that exactly matches one of the options on that property in Notion (e.g. "Published", not "published" if your option is capitalized).
