3. A new page will open up. Click the ‘New integration’ option. 

4. You’ll be required to fill out the form to create a new integration. Add the following mandatory fields: 

• Integration name
• Associated workspace

5. Once you have filled out the relevant fields, hit ‘Save’ and then select ‘Configure integration settings’. 

6. A new token would be generated. Copy this token and check the following capabilities:

Now click ‘Save’. 

Now, head over to your AssetSonar settings, paste the Token in the Notion overlay, and click ‘Add’. You’ll be successfully integrated with Notion and see the ‘Sync Now’ option under the Notion setting. 

Once you have run a successful sync, a software named ‘Notion’ will be created in AssetSonar. The Discovery Type will be ‘Cloud Software’ while the Source will be ‘Notion’. Here is a snapshot of the newly created software:
