- Verification: Once you complete checkout, you will be redirected to your Emon dashboard. Verify that you see “Sync Status: Active”. You’re all set! Send a test email and watch it populate in Notion within 15 seconds.
About Oauth
Emon uses OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to your Outlook and Notion accounts. We never see your passwords.
Oauth is a security standard that lets Emon connect to your Microsoft and Notion accounts safely. You approve access through each platform, and Emon receives a secure token instead of your password.

- Connect Notion and select "Use a template provided by the developer"
- Choose "Emon Template" database when prompted to select a database
