Notion Form: Embed a Form in a Page and Send Answers to a Database

By the Qwenvo team · · 4 min read

To put a form in Notion, publish it in Qwenvo, copy its public link, type /embed on a Notion page and paste the link. To keep answers in Notion, connect the form's Notion integration so each submission is saved to your database.

Two jobs, two steps

People mean two different things by a Notion form. One is showing a form inside a Notion page. The other is getting the answers into a Notion database. They are separate, and you can do either or both.

Part 1: Show the form inside a Notion page

  1. Build the form in Qwenvo and click Publish.
  2. On the Share tab, copy the public link. It looks like this example: https://qwenvo.com/r/FORM_ID.
  3. In Notion, open the page and type /embed on a new line.
  4. Paste the public link and confirm. Drag the corners of the embed to make it tall enough for the form.
  5. Open the page as a visitor (or share it) and submit a test response.

For this you use the link, not the HTML snippet that other website builders take. Notion embeds work from the address of the form.

Part 2: Send each response to a Notion database

  1. Create or choose the Notion database that should hold responses, with a property for each answer you want to keep.
  2. In Qwenvo, open the form's Integrations tab and choose Notion.
  3. Connect your Notion workspace, choose the database, and allow access to it when Notion asks.
  4. Match your questions to the database properties.
  5. Submit a test response and check that a new row appears in Notion.

Tips for matching fields

  • Name questions and properties alike. 'Email' to 'Email' is easy to check at a glance.
  • Pick matching types. A Date question maps best to a date property, a Number to a number, a Multiple choice to a select.
  • Keep options consistent. If a select has fixed options, use the same words in the form.
  • Add a hidden field for the campaign or the page, so the source lands in the database too. See UTM tracking with hidden fields.
  • Plan a status property such as New, In progress or Done, so the database works as an inbox.

What a Notion form is good for

Mistakes to avoid

  • Embedding a draft. Publish first.
  • Forgetting access. Notion must be allowed to reach the database, or nothing is written.
  • Renaming properties later. A renamed property can break the match; recheck after edits.
  • Letting the database collect noise. Use form logic, required fields and a captcha to keep junk out.

An honest comparison: Notion has built-in forms that write to a Notion database, and for a quick internal form that stays inside Notion that is the simplest route. Choose Qwenvo when you need logic, payments, file uploads, a public branded form, design control or AI triage, and still want the answers in Notion.

Example: a feature request inbox

A simple setup might use these database properties. The names are just an example; use your own:

  • Title: a Short answer, 'What would you like us to build?'
  • Details: a Long answer for context.
  • Email: an Email question so you can reply.
  • Area: a Dropdown with your product areas.
  • Status: a property in Notion only, set to New by default and changed by your team.

Then make a Notion view filtered to Status is New, and review it weekly. The form stays the same; your team's workflow lives in Notion.

Share the page safely

If you embed the form on a public Notion page, anyone with the page link can open the form, just like anyone with the form's own link. For internal forms, keep the Notion page private to your workspace and consider a password in the form's Settings. You can also close the form on a date, or after a number of responses, so a temporary request form does not stay open forever.

Questions people ask

Can I embed a form in a Notion page?

Yes. Use /embed and paste the form's public link. The Share tab has it.

How do I send form responses to Notion?

Use the Notion integration on the form's Integrations tab, then map answers to the database properties. A webhook or Zapier or Make also works for custom setups.

Is it free?

Yes. The Notion integration, embeds and branding removal are free. See embed help for the other embed types.

Do respondents need a Notion account?

No. The form is a normal public form; they just fill it in.
