Set up a Notion data store

This page describes how to create a data store and connect Notion to Gemini Enterprise.

      Go to IAM

    2. Locate the user account and click the edit Edit icon.
    3. Grant the Discovery Engine Editor role to the user. For more information, see IAM roles and permissions.

  2. In the Notion settings, create a Notion OAuth integration. Obtain the authentication credentials, and set the required permissions. For more information, see Notion configuration.

      • Select Google-managed encryption key or Cloud KMS key.
      • If you selected Cloud KMS key:
        • In the Key management type list, select the appropriate type.

Data handling and query execution

This section describes how Gemini Enterprise manages your query and the privacy implications of using the federated data store.

Query execution

After you authorize Notion and send a search query to Gemini Enterprise:

  • Gemini Enterprise sends your search query directly to the Notion API.
  • Gemini Enterprise blends the results with those from other connected data sources and displays a comprehensive search result.

Data handling

When using third-party federated search, the following data handling rules apply:

  • Your query string is sent to the third-party search backend (Notion API).
  • These third parties may associate queries with your identity.
  • If multiple federated search data sources are enabled, the query might be sent to all of them.
  • Once the data reaches the third-party system, it is governed by that system's terms of service and privacy policies.
