How to Set Up Notion with Airtable in 2026

The Notion Airtable integration lets you migrate bases, sync records, and run both platforms in parallel. Whether your team is transitioning fully to Notion or using Airtable alongside it, AI-powered data processing in Notion transforms imported records into summaries, reports, and actionable insights. No manual re-entry required.

You need access to both your Airtable workspace and your Notion workspace. One-time imports use CSV export — no third-party tool needed. For ongoing sync, route through Zapier, Make, or a dedicated connector like Unito. The connection works on all Notion plans — Free, Plus, Business, and Enterprise.

How to Connect Airtable to Notion in 2026

• Step 1: Open your Airtable base, click the three-dot menu on the view tab, and select Download CSV to export your data.
• Step 2: Open Notion, create a new database or open an existing one, click the three-dot menu, and select Merge with CSV.
• Step 3: Upload the CSV file. Notion maps columns automatically — verify that property types (text, number, date, select) match your Airtable field types.
• Step 4: For ongoing sync, open Zapier and create a Zap with Airtable as the trigger (“New or Updated Record”) and Notion as the action (“Create Database Item”).
• Step 5: Map Airtable fields to Notion properties, test the Zap, and turn it on. New Airtable records will now appear in your Notion database automatically.
