Vibe coding + Notion as a headless CMS = game changer

This article you're reading is powered by Notion. I can edit and update it, and it instantly reflects on this page.

Made a typo or need to quickly update your web or app content? You can use Notion.

Here’s the simple flow

1. Create a Notion integration here: https://www.notion.so/profile/integrations

Copy the Internal Integration Secret (it looks like ntn_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

2. Ask Cursor (or your AI of choice) to integrate with the Notion API. Let the AI do the heavy lifting.

3. In Notion, create a new page → add a table (e.g. a Blog database). Make sure the table columns match the slugs the AI expects (ask the AI if unsure).

4. Add this to your .env.local. NOTION_TOKEN=your_internal_integration_secret

5. Add your database ID

NOTION_DATABASE_ID=your_database_id

To find your database ID, right-click the 3 dots in the table → “Copy link to view”

The database ID is the 32-character string after notion.so/ and before ?

7. Lastly, make sure your notion page communicates with your integration by clicking the 3 dots on the page > Connections and adding the connection from step 1.

6. Create a blog post in Notion… and voilà — it appears on your website

Why this is powerful...

• Use it for blogs, docs, FAQs, or fast-changing pages—Notion updates appear instantly on your website or app.
• Formatting comes directly from Notion.
• Content updates require zero engineering time.
• Massive time and cost savings.
• Most teams already know Notion—great UX out of the box.

Notion isn’t just notes anymore.

It’s a content engine if you let it be.
