Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Giphy account
- 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 Giphy
Click "Add Connection" and select Giphy from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Giphy's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your files and folders. You choose which directories the integration can read from and write to.
- 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 file uploaded in giphy 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 Giphy and Notion so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Giphy to Notion?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Giphy and Notion via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing file storage events to productivity actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Giphy and Notion?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Giphy events to Notion actions, trigger Notion updates when Giphy data changes, create Notion records from Giphy events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Giphy and Notion integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Giphy-to-Notion workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Giphy data secure when connected to Notion?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Giphy or Notion passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your file storage 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 Giphy and Notion?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Giphy or Notion. For example, create a workflow where Giphy events update Notion, and a separate one where Notion changes sync back to Giphy. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Giphy 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 Giphy and Notion, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
