How do I connect Google Drive to Notion?

Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.

Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Google Drive-to-Notion workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Google Drive data secure when connected to Notion?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Google Drive or Notion passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your file storage data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Google Drive and Notion?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Drive or Notion. For example, create a workflow where Google Drive events update Notion, and a separate one where Notion changes sync back to Google Drive. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Google Drive and Notion?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Google Drive and Notion, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
