Start setup
  1. Step 01

    Create your DeskFerry account

  2. Step 02

    Authenticate Notion

    Click "Add Connection" and select Notion from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Notion's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
