When it comes to productivity software, few other tools have gripped the market like Notion. The popular note-taking app benefits from a cult following of fans and Notion creators using the AI-powered platform for personal, educational, and professional use.
Many of them leverage it in conjunction with Google Forms, allowing easy incorporation of data into ongoing Notion projects. The best news? The set-up process for this takes just a few steps.
Why connect Google Forms to Notion
Notion and Google Forms work well together — especially if you’re looking to capture data from a form and then use that data within your internal documents. For example, by connecting a completed product survey in Google Forms to Notion, you can turn this data into useful charts, tables, and graphs to aid your customer and product development teams.
Importantly, connecting the two saves you from working in multiple applications at once, streamlining your data capture, analysis, and documentation processes — as well as improving accuracy over manually copying and pasting raw results.

How to connect Jotform with Notion
Like Google Forms, Jotform enables you to create Notion forms with a simple connection facilitated via Zapier:
- In the Jotform Form Builder, click Settings.
- Click Integrations from the left-hand menu.

- Click Notion — then Connect to Zapier and authorize Jotform to connect to your Zapier account.
- Select the “Zap” you want to use. While Google Forms only has two connection options to Notion, Jotform offers seven. Once you make your selection, this will open the Configure Your Zap window.
