How to connect and sync Sheets to Notion in 5 minutes with Whalesync

Google Sheets is a go-to tool for teams to track projects, tasks, and content. Notion is a flexible workspace where teams plan, document, and organize work.

If your team uses Google Sheets to manage information and Notion to organize workflows, syncing the two helps you avoid silos and stay aligned.

Here’s how to connect and sync Google Sheets to Notion in five minutes.

Why should you connect Google Sheets to Notion?

Syncing Sheets to Notion helps you bring spreadsheet data directly into your workspace. Whether you're managing marketing data, project timelines, or task lists in Sheets, you can sync that data into Notion automatically.

Instead of copying and pasting between platforms or building complicated workarounds, you can keep both tools updated in real time, making collaboration easier and updates faster.

When should you connect Google Sheets and Notion?

Here are a few common scenarios where connecting the two makes sense:

• You plan and track campaigns in Google Sheets but document work in Notion: Sync them to keep both views up to date.
• Your team prefers Sheets, but leadership uses Notion dashboards: Let each team work where they’re most comfortable, with no loss in visibility.
• You use Notion for reporting or operations: Feed your Notion database with live data from a Google Sheet.

How to sync Google Sheets and Notion

Here’s a step by step guide to sync Google Sheets and Notion.

Step 1: Create a new sync

Log in to your Whalesync account and click ‘New sync’

Step 2: Authorize your apps

Select the apps you want to connect. In this case, it’s Google Sheets and Notion. Then, authorize these two apps. Authorizing the apps enables Whalesync to have access to your app data in order to complete the syncs.

When you’re authorizing the apps, you need to select the Google Sheet you want to sync the data from and the Notion database you want the data to be synced to.

Step 3: Map your tables

Choose the tables that you want to sync from Google Sheets to Notion. You can add multiple table mappings to a sync and related fields. You can also create the tables you want to map from Whalesync’s user interface, making it much faster to get started with your syncing.

Step 4: Map your fields

You can choose how many fields you want to map, whether you want to map all of the fields or just a few.

You can also create fields here.

If you have existing data in your Google Sheet, Whalesync will match the records according to the fields you mapped.

If you are starting from a new sheet that doesn’t have any data, once you start entering data into your sheet, the data will automatically sync to Notion.

Step 5: Activate sync

The final step is to activate your sync! Before you activate your sync, you’ll see a preview that shows you how many records will be added to each tool.
