Step-by-step guide
How to connect Fauna to Notion
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Fauna account with read/write permissions
- An active Notion account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Fauna
Click "Add Connection" and select Fauna from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Fauna's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.
- Step 03
Authenticate Notion
Same process for Notion. Click "Add Connection," select Notion, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new record created in fauna or new item created in notion. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create item in notion. Map the data fields between Fauna and Notion so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Fauna and Notion. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

What can I automate between Fauna and Notion?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Fauna events to Notion actions, trigger Notion updates when Fauna data changes, create Notion records from Fauna events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Fauna and Notion integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Fauna-to-Notion workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Fauna data secure when connected to Notion?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Fauna or Notion passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your databases data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Fauna and Notion?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Fauna or Notion. For example, create a workflow where Fauna events update Notion, and a separate one where Notion changes sync back to Fauna. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Fauna and Notion?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Fauna and Notion, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
