    Getting Started

    How to Sign Up

    Getting started with Emon is simple. Follow these steps to begin syncing your emails to Notion:

    1. Choose Your Plan: Visit emoncrm.com, click “Get Started” and select the plan that best fits your needs.
    2. Sign Up With Microsoft: Sign in with any Microsoft 365 Business or Personal Outlook email you want to sync to Notion.
    3. Connect to Notion: Authorize Emon to access the database that will sync your emails. Then, select “Use a template provided by the developer” for instant database configuration!
    4. Select the Notion Database for Syncing: When prompted to select a database, pick “Emon Template” – this is the template that we created.
    5. Checkout with Stripe: If you selected a paid tier — checkout with Stripe. Emon partners with Stripe for easy and secure payment.
    6. 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.

    • Select a plan and sign in with your Microsoft account
    • Connect Notion and select "Use a template provided by the developer"
    • Choose "Emon Template" database when prompted to select a database
    • Paid plans — Complete Stripe checkout
    • Verify "Sync Status: Active" on dashboard
    • Send a test email to confirm sync

    Permissions Granted to Emon

    What Permissions Emon Requests

    Emon requests only the minimum permissions necessary to provide email synchronization and contact management. We believe in transparency about what data we access.

    Microsoft 365 Permissions

    Emon requests the following permissions to function:

    • Mail.Read - To read your emails and extract contact information from email participants
    • User.Read - To identify your account and personalize your experience
    • offline_access - To refresh authentication tokens without requiring you to re-authenticate frequently

    We do not request permissions to send emails, delete emails, or access files outside of your inbox.

    Notion Permissions

    Emon requires the following Notion permissions:

    • Read and write access to your selected Notion database
    • Ability to create and update pages in your designated contact database

    Emon only accesses the specific database you select during setup. We cannot access other pages or databases in your workspace.

    How to Revoke Access
