# Connect Search Console or Notion

> Connect your Google Search Console or Notion account once, and the agent reads your search data or your notes when you ask, in any project.

Connect an account once in the workspace settings, and the agent can use it in every project of the workspace when you ask: your Search Console data, to see how people find your site, or your Notion pages, to build from your notes. Playcode keeps the access encrypted, and the agent never sees a password or a key.

## Do it yourself

1. Open **Settings** and choose **Connections** under the workspace.
2. Under **Add a connection**, choose **Connect Search Console** or **Connect Notion**.
3. Sign in at Google or Notion and allow access.
   - On Google's screen, select the Search Console permission. Google lets you continue without it, and then Playcode saves nothing.
   - On Notion's screen, share the pages the agent may read.
4. Back in Playcode, the account shows **Connected**. Keep **Agent may use it** on.
5. In a project's chat, ask the agent, for example: "Which searches bring people to my site? Use Search Console." or "Read my Notion page Shop plan and build the home page from it."

## If it doesn't work

### "Google didn't grant Search Console access, so nothing was saved."

Google's screen was left without the Search Console permission. Choose **Connect Search Console** again and select it.

### "The connection didn't complete. Nothing changed - you can try again."

Start again from **Add a connection**.

### The account shows Revoked

The access ended at Google or Notion, or someone revoked it in Playcode: the row says to reconnect to use it again. Choose **Reconnect**.

### The agent says it has no access

Check that the account shows **Connected** and that **Agent may use it** is on. Then ask again.

### "Couldn't load connections", or the buttons are greyed out

Only the workspace's owner and its Admins can see and change its connections. Ask one of them.

## Limits

- Search Console is read-only: the agent reads the data and cannot change anything in Search Console. Better pages can bring more visitors, but no ranking is guaranteed.
- In Notion, the agent reads only the pages you shared. It reads them when you ask; nothing syncs by itself.
- The agent uses a connection only in a chat, when you ask.
- Your app's own code cannot call a connected account yet. The **Apps may use it** switch is for that.
- The page also shows **Connect Gmail**. Gmail is not available yet.
- **Revoke** (the cross beside the account) deletes Playcode's stored access. Nothing is deleted at Google or Notion, and you can connect again at any time.
