When you connect Unblocked with your Notion workspace, you’ll provide Unblocked with important context on how and why your codebase works. Unblocked will be able to use the details in your Notion workspace to answer questions you ask, and it will provide links back to the pages it used to find those answers for easy reference.

Data sync

Unblocked receives updates from Notion through webhooks when docs change, so edits appear in answers shortly after they happen. Content from a newly connected workspace can take a few hours to fully appear while Notion’s search index catches up.
