Why teams pipe document data into Notion
Notion has become the default workspace for teams that want to combine databases, wikis, and project tracking in one place. But structured document data — invoices, contracts, onboarding forms, research papers — still arrives as PDFs and email attachments that must be manually re-entered.
The DocPeel × Notion integration closes that gap. Every document you process in DocPeel becomes a new row in the Notion database of your choice, with each extracted field mapped to the right column type automatically.
Intelligent field mapping to Notion property types
Notion databases support a wide range of property types — title, rich text, number, date, checkbox, select, multi-select, URL, email, and phone. DocPeel reads your database schema and maps extracted fields to the matching property type so data lands correctly without manual configuration.
For example, an extracted "Invoice date" maps to a Notion Date property, "Total amount" maps to a Number property, and "Vendor name" maps to a Text property. If DocPeel extracts a field that has no direct match in your schema, it falls back to a rich-text property so nothing is lost.
Supported document types for Notion
The integration works with every document type DocPeel supports: PDF invoices, scanned contracts, Word documents, email bodies, image attachments (JPG/PNG/TIFF), and Excel spreadsheets. Notion pages are created the same way regardless of the source format.
Teams commonly use this to auto-populate invoice trackers, contract registries, vendor databases, research note databases, and HR onboarding tables — all from raw documents, with no data entry.
Security and access control
The OAuth connection follows the least-privilege principle: DocPeel only requests access to the databases you explicitly share during the connection flow. Your other Notion content is never accessed.
You can disconnect the integration at any time from the DocPeel integrations panel, which immediately revokes the access token.
Triggering Notion updates automatically
Set the trigger to "Automatic" and DocPeel will push data to Notion every time an extraction completes — even from email attachments forwarded to your DocPeel inbox. Set it to "Manual" if you prefer to review extractions before sending them to Notion.
For bulk workflows, you can process a batch of documents through the API and every result will flow into Notion in real time.
