Your Notion docs and databases, behind a tool clients can see.
Notion is where most agency knowledge lives - the SOPs, the client briefs, the project databases. The friction is that Notion is built for your team, not your clients. Forge's Notion integration lets your Forge tools read and write pages and databases directly - so the team keeps working in Notion, and clients see a branded portal driven by it. No double-entry, no migration.

Notion alone vs Notion + Forge
| Forge | Notion alone | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sees it | Each client sees their own branded view | Anyone with the share link, of the whole page |
| Branding | Your logo, colors, custom domain | Notion.site - their brand throughout |
| Permissions | Per-client isolation, fully managed | Workspace shares and guests - subtle and error-prone |
| Setup | Build the tool, connect the DB, done | Build pages, manage shares, fix broken permissions |
| When Notion changes structure | Tool adapts (or we adapt it) | Re-share, fix templates, re-link |
Notion for your team, Forge for your clients
We covered the wider Notion-for-agencies story in our Notion alternative page - the headline being that Notion is brilliant for internal knowledge and painful as a client-facing layer. The Notion integration is the way to keep using Notion for what it's good at, and hand the client-facing layer to Forge.
The integration is live, with native OAuth and read + write access to the workspaces and databases you authorize. Connect it from your Forge dashboard and pick which database backs each tool.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Notion integration live?
Yes - it's live. Connect your Notion workspace from the integrations page, then pick which database backs each tool. Read and write, no exports.
What will Forge read from Notion?
Only the workspaces, pages and databases you explicitly authorize via Notion's OAuth - no more. You can revoke access from your Forge dashboard at any time.
Will my team still work in Notion?
Yes - that's the whole idea. Your team keeps living in Notion. Forge reads from it and renders the client-facing tool. No double-entry, no parallel system.
Why not just share a Notion page with clients?
You can - but the page is at notion.site, branded as Notion, and the permission model leaks workspace structure in ways that produce real mistakes. Forge gives each client a separately-branded, separately-isolated view of the data they should see.
What if I want to leave Notion entirely?
Forge can also be your primary system of record - we have managed databases per tool. See the Notion alternative page for the wider comparison.
