Configure Property Mappings

Property mappings control how data from an email gets saved into your Notion database. Each mapping connects an email field (like the subject line) to a Notion property (like a Title column). Without mappings, Quicktion won't know where to put the email data.

How to Set Up Mappings

  1. Go to your Destinations page in the Quicktion dashboard
  2. Click on the destination you want to configure
  3. Scroll to the Property Mappings section
  4. For each Notion property you want to populate, select the email field that should fill it
  5. Save your changes

You can add as many mappings as you need. Each Notion property can only be mapped to one email field.

Available Email Fields

These are the email fields you can map to your Notion properties:

Email FieldDescription
SubjectThe email subject line
SenderThe sender's display name
Sender EmailThe sender's email address
DateThe date and time the email was sent
BodyThe full email body, converted to rich text or page content

Compatible Notion Property Types

Not every email field works with every Notion property type. Here's what's compatible:

Notion Property TypeCompatible Email Fields
TitleSubject, Sender, Sender Email
Rich TextSubject, Sender, Sender Email, Body
EmailSender Email
URLSender Email
DateDate
SelectSubject, Sender, Sender Email
Multi-selectSubject, Sender, Sender Email
Checkbox(use default values instead)
Number(use default values instead)

The Body field is special. When mapped to a Rich Text property, the email body is condensed into that property. When no Rich Text mapping exists for the body, the full email content is added as page content (Notion blocks) inside the created page.

Common Mapping Examples

Basic email log

Map your database properties like this:

  • Name (Title) ← Subject
  • From (Rich Text) ← Sender
  • Email (Email) ← Sender Email
  • Received (Date) ← Date

The email body gets saved as page content automatically.

CRM contact capture

If you're using a contacts database:

  • Contact (Title) ← Sender
  • Email Address (Email) ← Sender Email
  • Last Emailed (Date) ← Date
  • Notes (Rich Text) ← Subject

Newsletter archive

For saving newsletters:

  • Title (Title) ← Subject
  • Source (Rich Text) ← Sender
  • Date (Date) ← Date

The newsletter body is saved as full page content, preserving headings, links, and formatting.

Tips

  • You don't need to map every property. Unmapped properties are left empty (or filled by default values).
  • If your Notion database doesn't have the right property types yet, add them in Notion first, then refresh the property list in Quicktion.
  • The Title property is required in every Notion database. Mapping it to Subject is the most common choice.
