Send form responses to Notion: Tally vs Qwenvo, field by field

To send form responses to Notion, make a database with one property per question, give your form tool access to it, and match property names to question labels. In Qwenvo that takes five steps on the form's Integrations tab. Tally users also have routes to Notion; check Tally's integrations page for the current options.

How Tally users usually do it

Tally's own integrations list is on its site, and Zapier and Make are the common general routes to push a submission into a Notion page or database. Check Tally's integrations page for what is available on the plan you use. The rest of this post covers the Qwenvo route in detail, because the field-mapping habits apply everywhere.

The Qwenvo setup

1. In Notion, go to notion.so/my-integrations and create an internal integration. Copy the secret.
2. Create a database. Add a property for each answer you want, named exactly like the question.
3. Share the database with your integration from Notion's share or connections menu.
4. In Qwenvo, open the form and click the Integrations tab, then Notion.
5. Paste the secret and the database ID. The ID is the 32-character string in the database URL, before the "?v=".
6. Submit a test response and confirm that a row appears.

Field mapping tips

Almost every problem is a name or type mismatch. Use this guide when you build the database.

• Names. The Notion property name should match the question label. "Email" and "Email address" are different names.
• Title. Notion databases need a title property. Map it to a question like "Name". If you do not, the row gets the form name and the submission time as its title.
• Text answers (Short answer, Long answer): use a Text property.
• Email, Phone number and Link: use the Email, Phone and URL property types.
• Number and Rating: use a Number property. Text that is not a number comes through empty.
• Multiple choice and Dropdown: use Select.
• Checkboxes and Multi-select: use Multi-select. Options arrive as separate tags.
• Date: use a Date property.
• Yes/No style answers: use a Checkbox property.
• Properties of other types (people, relations, files) are skipped, so leave them for manual fields.

Useful extras

• Add a Hidden field, such as a campaign source, and a matching property to track where each response came from. The hidden fields guide explains how.
• Turn on Partial submissions if you want unfinished answers to show up in Qwenvo's Submissions table.
• Connect Slack on the same Integrations tab so the team hears about new rows.

Tips that save an afternoon

1. Build the Notion database first, then the form questions, using the same words.
2. Rename a question? Rename the property too.
3. Send a test with every question filled in, not just the required ones.
4. Keep a spare copy: connect Google Sheets as well, so a Notion permission change cannot lose a response.

Where Tally is the better pick

If your team already runs on Tally and has its Notion route working, the switch gains you little unless you need a Pro feature for free. The setup above is also not as seamless as Notion's own built-in forms, which write to a database with no token at all. See Notion forms vs Tally vs Qwenvo.

If a row does not appear

1. Check that the database is shared with your Notion integration.
2. Check that the secret and the database ID were pasted without extra spaces.
3. Check that the database has a title property, which every Notion database does.
4. Submit again with every question answered, and check that property names match the question labels exactly.

Keep a backup of your responses

Notion is a good place to work with responses, but keep a second copy anyway. In Qwenvo you can export the Submissions table as CSV, JSON or XLSX at any time, and you can set a data-retention rule that deletes submissions after a number of days once you no longer need them in the form tool.

Questions people ask

How do I connect a form to a Notion database?

Create a Notion integration, share the database with it, and paste the secret and the database ID into the form tool's Notion integration.

Why is my Notion column empty?

Usually the property name does not match the question label, or the property type does not suit the answer. Rename one to match the other.

Is the Qwenvo Notion integration free?

Yes. There are no paid plans, so every integration is on for every account.
