> Connect Notion to sanda: what to prepare, the fields the connection form asks for, and how its data lands in your warehouse.

## Connect Notion

:::steps
1. **Open the catalogue.** In the console, go to **Data · Connections** and press **New connection**.
2. **Choose Notion.** It is listed under product and operations; you can also search for it by name.
3. **Fill in the form.** Enter the fields below. Credentials go straight to sanda’s sync engine and are never stored in sanda’s database.
4. **Choose what to sync.** Pick the tables you want, and a sync mode for each. See [choose what to sync](https://docs.sanda-os.com.au/connections/choose-tables).
5. **Run the first sync.** sanda tests the connection, then lands each table you chose in your warehouse.

## Configuration fields

What the connection form asks for. Required fields are marked; the rest are optional.

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Authentication Method** | one of 2 options | No | Choose either OAuth or Access Token. |
| **Number of concurrent workers** | integer | No | Number of worker threads to use for the sync. Higher values can speed up large syncs but may increase rate-limit pressure against Notion's limit of approximately three requests per second per integration. Default `3`. |
| **Start Date** | string | No | UTC date and time in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.000Z. During incremental sync, any data generated before this date will not be replicated. If left blank, the start date will be set to 2 years before the present date. |
