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
- Go to your Destinations page in the Quicktion dashboard
- Click on the destination you want to configure
- Scroll to the Property Mappings section
- For each Notion property you want to populate, select the email field that should fill it
- 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 Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Subject | The email subject line |
| Sender | The sender's display name |
| Sender Email | The sender's email address |
| Date | The date and time the email was sent |
| Body | The 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 Type | Compatible Email Fields |
|---|---|
| Title | Subject, Sender, Sender Email |
| Rich Text | Subject, Sender, Sender Email, Body |
| Sender Email | |
| URL | Sender Email |
| Date | Date |
| Select | Subject, Sender, Sender Email |
| Multi-select | Subject, 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.
