How to Setup the Dropbox Dash Connector for Notion

Overview

Users can connect their Notion account to Dropbox Dash, allowing them to access and search all of their Notion content directly within Dash. This integration requires OAuth authentication to ensure that Dash only retrieves information relevant to the user’s data, giving them full control over what Dash can access.
