How to connect MySQL to Notion
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active MySQL account with read/write permissions
- An active Notion account
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate MySQL
Click "Add Connection" and select MySQL from the app directory. You'll be redirected to MySQL's authorization page. Grant Arahi read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.
Authenticate Notion
Same process for Notion. Click "Add Connection," select Notion, and authorize access. Grant Arahi access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new record created in mysql or new item created in notion. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create item in notion. Map the data fields between MySQL and Notion so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between MySQL and Notion. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
Why connect MySQL and Notion?

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about connecting MySQL and Notion.
How do I connect MySQL to Notion?

What can I automate between MySQL and Notion?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new MySQL events to Notion actions, trigger Notion updates when MySQL data changes, create Notion records from MySQL events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the MySQL and Notion integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your MySQL-to-Notion workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my MySQL data secure when connected to Notion?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your MySQL or Notion passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your databases 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 MySQL and Notion?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either MySQL or Notion. For example, create a workflow where MySQL events update Notion, and a separate one where Notion changes sync back to MySQL. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect MySQL 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 MySQL and Notion, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
