Track when shared Notion Pages are opened

Track when shared Notion pages are opened in real time (with viewer identity)
Know exactly when a shared Notion page is opened, who viewed it, and what they cared about. Wrap your Notion page in Send to add AI Chat, Suggested Questions, and deep analytics so you steer readers to answers fast and show up to calls prepared.
When this is useful
Opening this play is helpful when you need reliable signal and faster follow‑ups.
- You share Notion pages with prospects, partners, or investors and want identity on opens
- You want to guide readers to pricing, scope, or next steps without long email threads
- You update docs often and want to keep a single share link that never breaks
- You care about analytics beyond basic views, including location, device, time viewed, and questions asked
Step-by-step: track Notion page opens with viewer identity
Before you start: Install Send’s Chrome extension from Send.co or use the Send app directly. Either way, you’ll end up with a single trackable link that shows your Notion page plus AI Chat.
1. Add your Notion page to Send
- Open your Notion page. If you’re using the extension, click the blue "Add to Send" button. Or, in the Send app, click New Document and paste the public Notion URL. A Send tab opens with your page loaded and ready to share.
- Benefit: You keep your original page but gain a tracked, versionless sharing link managed by Send.
2. Configure a viewer gate for identity
- Turn on a gate to require name and email before viewing. Add phone if you want qualification. Optionally hide content until the gate is completed.
- Benefit: You’ll know exactly who opened the page, not just that “someone” clicked a link.
3. Add Suggested Questions to steer attention
- Add 3–5 prompts that lead to decisions. Examples: What does this cost? What’s included? Implementation timeline? Next steps?
- Benefit: Readers get answers instantly via AI Chat and don’t have to hunt through a long page.
4. Share your single Send link
- Click Copy link and send it. Let recipients know there’s AI chat inside for instant answers.
- Benefit: One link forever. Replace or refine content later without resending.
5. Watch analytics and act
- Get an email notification on view. Check the Activity Feed for who viewed, from where, on what device, for how long, and what questions they asked the AI. Use this context to tailor your next call or follow‑up.
Why this is faster with Send
Adding your Notion page to Send changes the experience for both sides. Readers get AI‑accelerated clarity, and you get high‑signal analytics.
- AI Chat answers questions about the page immediately, reducing back‑and‑forth
- Suggested Questions focus readers on pricing, scope, and next steps
- Analytics show opens, viewer identity, location, device, time viewed, and AI questions, so you prioritize quickly and show up prepared
- Replace files or update content under the same link to keep momentum without version chaos
Troubleshooting and tips
A little tuning goes a long way. Use these fixes to keep engagement high and signal clear.
No opens yet
- Confirm you shared the Send link, not the raw Notion link. Mention there’s AI chat inside to encourage clicks.
Low engagement time
- Tighten your Suggested Questions to match buying concerns. Lead with pricing, what’s included, and timeline.
Don’t need a gate for known contacts
- Use a personalized link with a custom slug to identify the recipient without a form.
Sensitive content
- Disable printing and downloading. Keep a gate on, and replace the file under the same link when you refresh content.
Integrations and automation (webhooks)
Open and click signals should flow where you work. Turn on webhooks to trigger downstream updates automatically.
- Trigger on document open or any link open
- Send events to Clay, Zapier, or Make to create or update contacts, log activity, notify owners, or kick off sequences
- Use identity from gates or personalized links to keep your CRM clean and actionable
Privacy and controls
You decide what viewers see and how they access it.
- Require name, email, and optionally phone before viewing
- Hide content until the form is completed for maximum control
- Disable printing and downloading for sensitive documents
- Replace files without changing the link so you never resend URLs
FAQ
How does Send speed up sales cycles?
- Send adds AI Chat and Suggested Questions to your Notion page so readers get answers fast, on their own time. You see what they focused on and what they asked, so calls skip the basics and move straight to decisions.
Can I require name and email before viewing?
- Yes. Turn on a viewer gate to require name and email, with optional phone. You can also hide content until completion.
Can I replace a file without changing the link?
- Yes. Replace files under the same Send link to keep a single, durable URL—even as content evolves.
What analytics do I get (and for PDFs specifically)?
- You’ll see viewer identity from the gate or personalized link, plus location, device, and total time viewed. For PDFs, you also get page‑level time to see which sections drew the most attention.
Can I push view events into my CRM?
- Yes. Use webhooks to fire on document open or any link open and send events to Clay, Zapier, or Make for CRM updates and alerts.
