Connect a Notion workspace when you want a widget to show data from a Notion database. Blocky then lists the workspace's pages and databases, and you can pick a database for a widget.
Widgets that take Notion data
These Widget types read Notion data:
- The six charts: Area chart, Bar chart, Line chart, Pie chart, Radar chart, and Radial chart
- Flashcards
- Quotes
Other Widget types, such as the Streak tracker and the Progress tracker, don't take Notion data. To set up a widget with Notion data, see Use Notion data in a widget.

Share pages and databases with Blocky
Blocky lists only the pages and databases that you share with the Blocky integration in Notion. If a database is missing, share it with the Blocky integration in Notion, and then refresh the list. See View and manage Notion connections.
What Blocky stores
Blocky uses the connected account to list your workspaces, pages, databases, and database properties. A widget with a Notion source stores the database ID, the connected account, and the properties that the widget reads.
