How to capture names on shared Notion pages (fast) — and know who read it

Turn any public Notion page into a tracked, gated link with Send. Require name and email before viewing, guide readers to key answers with AI Chat and Suggested Questions, and see exactly who engaged—so you can follow up at the right moment and move deals faster.

When this is useful

Notion links are easy to share, but a plain page gives little signal and no guided answers. Send layers identity capture, AI guidance, and analytics on top of your existing page, so you steer attention and act when interest is high.

You want names and emails before someone views a Notion page
You need real‑time alerts on opens and re‑opens
You want readers to get instant answers via AI (no back‑and‑forth)
You plan to update content without changing the link

Step‑by‑step: capture names on a Notion page with Send

These steps keep setup simple and outcome‑focused. Use either the Chrome extension or the Send app.

1. Add your Notion page to Send

Open the page and click the blue "Add to Send" button from Send’s Chrome extension, or go to send.co → New Document → paste your Notion URL. Your page loads inside Send with AI Chat beside it.

2. Turn on a viewer gate for identity capture

Open Link Settings. Require Name and Email before viewing. You can also capture Phone. For stricter qualification, enable "Hide content until submitted" so viewers must complete the form before they see anything.

3. Steer attention with AI and Suggested Questions

Add prompts like "What’s included?", "Pricing?", "Implementation timeline", and "How do we start?" Viewers can click a question or ask their own; AI answers in context of your page. Attach an AI Profile to surface case studies or your calendar link on request.

Click Copy link and paste it wherever you share. Mention there’s AI chat inside so readers know they can self‑serve answers.

5. Track engagement and prioritize outreach

You’ll get an email when the link is opened. In Activity, see who viewed, location and device, total time, and the questions asked in AI Chat. Use re‑opens and repeat questions as triggers for perfectly timed follow‑ups.

6. Update content without breaking the URL

Replace files under the same Send link, or keep using your live Notion page. Your shared URL stays the same—no version chaos.

Why this is faster with Send

Typical Notion sharing gives you a link but minimal signal and no guidance for the reader. With Send, the page itself answers questions, and you see what mattered. That shortens cycles and improves your next touch.

AI Chat answers in context so readers don’t wait on emails
Suggested Questions spotlight pricing, next steps, and timelines
Analytics show viewer identity, location, device, and total time viewed
Re‑opens and repeated questions reveal renewed interest automatically

Troubleshooting & tips

Small adjustments make signals reliable and actionable. Use these checks if something feels off.

Gate isn’t showing

Confirm the viewer gate is enabled in Link Settings. For stricter control, turn on "Hide content until submitted."

Views without identity

Require both Name and Email. For known contacts, consider a personalized link with a custom slug to identify viewers without a form.

Off‑topic or shallow engagement

Tighten Suggested Questions to price, scope, and next steps. Attach an AI Profile so the chat can surface case studies or your calendar link when asked.

Sensitive information

Disable download/print for attachments. Keep one link and use Replace file to update assets without creating new URLs.

Low engagement overall

Mention “there’s AI chat inside” when you share. Engagement rises after a first call when readers know what to ask.
