• Capabilities: refers to which data the integration will be able to access, either to read, to update or to create. Depending on the purpose of the integration being created, one or the other will be selected.

The last thing to do is to activate the integration in the Notion page where the element that makes use of this integration is located. To do this, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the page and add the integration created:
