What your agents can do
Once connected, VIS42 agents have five Notion capabilities:- Search your workspace for pages and databases by title
- Read a page’s content as markdown
- Query a database with filters (and see row properties summarized)
- Create a new page under a parent page or as a database row
- Append content to an existing page without replacing what’s there
- Ask Mercury to “save these meeting notes to Notion” and it will create a page.
- Ask Themis to “compare last month’s P&L to the budget in Notion” and it will query your budget database.
- Ask Pluto to “log this audit finding in my compliance tracker” and it will append a row.
Connect your workspace
Open agent settings
Open any agent (Mercury, Themis, or Pluto) and scroll to the Connected Services section.
Pick the pages to share
Notion asks which pages or databases you want VIS42 to access. This step matters — VIS42 can only read or write pages you select here (or share with it later). See Sharing pages below.
Sharing pages
How access works
- During OAuth: Notion shows a page-picker. Anything you select is shared with VIS42.
- After OAuth: On any page or database → click the
···menu → Connections → add VIS42. - Inheritance: access cascades automatically to all sub-pages. Share a parent page once and every page under it becomes available.
Recommended setup
Create a single parent page — for example VIS42 Workspace or AI Workspace — and share it with the integration. Then keep everything the agents need underneath:Privacy and scope
- The connection is per user, per business — each team member connects their own Notion workspace.
- VIS42 stores an access token tied to your Notion account. Tokens are encrypted at rest.
- VIS42 can only access pages shared with the integration — nothing else in your workspace.
- Disconnect at any time from Connected Services in the agent settings page. Your token is invalidated and removed from VIS42.
Markdown content
When agents create or append content, they pass lightweight markdown that VIS42 converts into Notion blocks:| Markdown | Notion block |
|---|---|
# Title | Heading 1 |
## Title | Heading 2 |
### Title | Heading 3 |
- Item | Bulleted list item |
- [ ] Task | Unchecked to-do |
- [x] Done | Checked to-do |
| Plain text | Paragraph |
Troubleshooting
Agent says it can't find a page I just created
Agent says it can't find a page I just created
The page is probably not shared with VIS42. Either move it under a shared parent, or open the page →
··· → Connections → add VIS42.I connected Notion but no pages appear
I connected Notion but no pages appear
You didn’t select any pages during the OAuth consent step. Either:
- Disconnect and reconnect, then pick pages in the consent dialog, or
- Open any page you want to expose →
···→ Connections → add VIS42.
Agent can read pages but can't create or update them
Agent can read pages but can't create or update them
The integration is missing write capabilities. Disconnect and reconnect — the consent screen will request the required permissions again. If you manage the integration yourself, make sure Update content and Insert content are enabled.
I want to revoke access from Notion's side
I want to revoke access from Notion's side
In Notion, go to Settings → Connections → find VIS42 → Disconnect. This revokes the token immediately. You’ll also want to disconnect from VIS42’s agent settings to clean up the local record.
