What You Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

1. A Notion account (free) - Sign up here
2. A Netlify account (free) - Sign up here
3. Your Notion database (the one you want to turn into a web app)

4. **About 30 minutes** to complete the setup

💡 Pro Tip: If you don't have a Notion database yet, you can create one or duplicate an existing template to get started quickly!

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Get Your Notion Database

Option A: If you have a database link to duplicate:

1. Click the database link you received
2. Look for "Duplicate" button in the top right corner of the page
3. Click "Duplicate" to copy it to your workspace
4. Choose your workspace where you want to save it
5. Click "Duplicate" to confirm
6. You now have your own copy - this is the database you'll use

Option B: If you already have your own database:

1. Open your existing Notion database (the one you want to turn into a website)

For both options, continue with these steps:

7. Make sure it has the columns you want (Name, Email, Phone, etc.)
8. Optional: If you have sensitive information, add "(Private)" to the column name
   • Example: "Email (Private)" will hide the actual email addresses
9. Copy the database ID from the URL:
   • Look at your Notion database URL
   • Copy the long string of letters and numbers after the last slash
   • Example: https://www.notion.so/stackseekers/25d30c0a61cd809e99b8f04ff79fe712?v=25d30c0a61cd80abb8b6000ca5bfa1a5
   • The ID is: 25d30c0a61cd809e99b8f04ff79fe712

Note: If you don't see a "Duplicate" button on a shared link, ask the owner to share the database with you first.

Step 2: Create a Notion Integration

Create a secure connection between your website and Notion:

1. Visit: Notion Integrations
2. Click: "New integration"
3. Fill out the form:
   • Name: "My Website App" (or whatever you prefer)
   • Workspace: Select your workspace
4. Click: "Submit"
5. Copy the token (starts with secret_) - save this for later!
6. Share your database with the integration:
   • Return to your Notion database
   • Click "Share" in the top right corner
   • Click "Invite"
   • Search for "My Website App" (or your chosen name)
   • Click "Invite"

🔒 Security Note: Keep your integration token safe - it's like a password that allows your website to access your Notion database.

Step 3: Deploy Your Website to Netlify

Deploy your website using Netlify's free hosting service:

1. Visit: Netlify
2. Sign up for a free account (if you don't have one)
3. Click: "New site from Git"
4. Choose: "GitHub" (you'll need to connect your GitHub account)
5. Select: This repository (the one you downloaded)
6. Click: "Deploy site"
7. Wait for deployment to complete (usually 2-3 minutes)

🚀 Deployment Tip: Netlify will automatically build and deploy your website. You'll get a unique URL like https://notion-crud.netlify.app/

Step 4: Connect Your Notion Database

Link your Notion database to your website:

1. In Netlify, navigate to your new website
2. Click: "Site settings"
3. Click: "Environment variables"
4. Add these two variables:
   • Name: NOTION_API_KEY
     Value: secret_your_token_here (paste the token from Step 2)
   • Name: NOTION_DATABASE_ID
     Value: your_database_id_here (paste the ID from Step 1)
5. Click: "Save"
6. Return to your website dashboard
7. Click: "Trigger deploy" → "Deploy site"

⚙️ Configuration Note: Environment variables are like settings that tell your website how to connect to your Notion database securely.

Step 5: Enable File Uploads (Optional)

Enable file upload functionality for your website:

1. Wait for the deployment to complete
2. Navigate to: Site settings → Functions
3. Scroll down to "Netlify Blobs" section
4. Click: "Enable" (if not already enabled)
5. Redeploy your site

📁 File Upload Note: Netlify Blobs provides secure file storage. Once enabled, users can upload documents, images, and other files directly through your website.
