Notion
Last updated February 28, 2023
Notion is a widely-adopted workspace management tool with huge versatility. While it’s not specifically created to track training content, we made a template that allows you to turn your Notion workspace into a lightweight LMS. If you haven’t already, get the Notion Training Center template here .
🎓 The Training Center
This page is about connecting your Notion Training Center to Basewell. Instructions on how to use the Notion Training Center Template will be found in the Notion Training Center Template.
Note: your pages in the Notion Training Center need to stay exactly the same in order to communicate correctly with Notion’s API & Basewell.
⚠️ Only proceed when you’ve set up your Notion Training Center template in accordance with those instructions.

🔍 Cross-Referencing Notion x Basewell Users
Below the Secret Key section in your settings page, you will see a few blocks: Notion Contact Matching, Contacts Found in Notion, Notion Contacts not found in Basewell, and Matched Notion Users. We’re going to take a look at each one in this section.
🧩 Notion Contact Matching
Start the process of matching contacts by clicking the button that says: Fetch Users from Notion. This will search your Notion workspace and pull all users in your Notion workspace into Basewell.
😀 Contacts found in Notion
After loading users from Notion, you will see a list of contacts that are found in your Notion workspace and Basewell account.
Note: user matching is based onemails, not just user names.
You will be asked to confirm if a user in your Notion workspace matches the user in your Basewell workspace. If yes, click yes. If no, do nothing.
Note: this list will only appear if you previously added users to Basewell before importing Notion users. If you do not see any users in this list because you did not add any users to Basewell previously, that’s okay.
🔍 Notion Contacts not found in Basewell
If you have not uploaded users previously to your Basewell account, or there are new users in your Notion workspace that aren’t in your Basewell account, a list will populate here.
If you want to create a Basewell user with the name or email found in your Notion workspace, click create user in Basewell. If you do not want to create a Basewell user with the name or email found in your Notion workspace, do nothing.
🤝 Matched Notion Users
A list of the users you have matched from your Notion and Basewell accounts is here.
