Convert Google Doc to PDF and Save to Notion with Make
Teams that use Notion for documentation and project management can use Make to bridge Google Drive and Notion. Convert a Google Doc to PDF and attach it to the right Notion page automatically.
Connecting the Notion module
After the PDF conversion step, add a Notion module and choose 'Upload a File' or 'Create a Page' depending on whether you are attaching to an existing page or creating a new one. Connect your Notion account and map the PDF data to the file attachment field.
Identifying the target Notion page
Use the document name or a naming convention to map the PDF to the correct Notion page. A Notion database with a 'Document Name' property and a 'PDF Attachment' files field is a clean structure. Query the database for the matching page using the Notion 'Search Objects' module.
Keeping Notion and Drive in sync
When a Google Doc is updated and converted to a new PDF, replace the old attachment in Notion. Use the Notion 'Update a Page' module to overwrite the file property with the new PDF. This ensures the Notion page always has the current version.
Frequently Asked Questions
