Notion Integration

Overview

Argus's Notion integration scans workspace pages, databases, and code blocks for pasted API keys, tokens, and credentials. Uses a Notion internal integration token, so no OAuth flow is needed.

Prerequisites

• Notion workspace Admin or Owner
• Ability to create an internal integration in Notion
• A Cremit Argus account

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Create a Notion internal integration

• Go to Notion > Settings > Connections > Develop or manage integrations
• Click New integration, name it 'Cremit Argus', and associate it with the target workspace
• Under Capabilities, enable Read content; leave Read user information optional
• Save and copy the Internal Integration Secret

Step 2: Share target pages with the integration

Notion requires each page or database to be explicitly shared with the integration.

• Open a top-level page (or the workspace root you want Argus to cover)
• Click the three-dot menu > Add connections
• Select Cremit Argus from the list
• Accept the propagation prompt so all nested pages inherit the connection

Step 3: Add Notion as a Scan Source in Argus

• Argus > Configuration > Scan Sources > New
• Select Notion as the source type
• Paste the Internal Integration Secret from Step 1
• Click Test Connection, then Create

Step 4: Select pages and databases to scan

Argus only lists pages that the integration has been invited to.

• Pages appear hierarchically; select the roots you want covered
• Databases are listed separately; enable the ones that store config or credentials
• Pages added later under a covered root inherit the scan automatically

Verification

To confirm the integration is configured correctly:

• The Scan Source shows Connected with a valid workspace name
• Shared page counts visible on the source page match what you see in Notion
• Editing a covered page triggers a re-scan within minutes
• No 'object_not_found' or 'unauthorized' errors in the activity log

Troubleshooting

Issue: Argus shows 0 pages even though the token is valid.

• Solution: You have not shared any pages with the integration. Notion does not auto-grant access; each root page must be explicitly connected.

Issue: A new sub-page was added but Argus is not scanning it.

• Solution: The sub-page's parent must have the integration connected with propagation accepted. Re-connect at the root level and confirm 'Add to all child pages'.

Key Benefits

• Covers a fast-growing documentation surface for modern teams
• No OAuth or service account juggling; a single workspace-scoped token
• Respects Notion's share-to-integration model; Argus sees only what you grant
• Code blocks, toggle blocks, and database fields are all scanned
