Choosing and Obtaining Widgets

First, decide on the widget you need. Notion supports a wide range of widgets, including calendar, weather, note-taking, social media, and music widgets. Popular choices include Google Calendar, Spotify playlists, and Pinterest images. Once you've chosen your widget, obtain the embed code or unique link from the widget provider's website. This code is essential for embedding the widget into Notion.

Embedding Widgets in Notion

There are several methods to embed widgets into Notion, catering to different types of widgets and user preferences.

Simple Embed

For widgets that don't require customization, simply type '/embed' in your Notion page and paste the direct link. This method is straightforward and works well for widgets like Pomodoro timers.

Unique Link Embed

Some widgets allow customization and provide a unique link after customization. After designing your widget on platforms like Indify, type '/embed' in Notion and paste the unique link.

HTML Code Embed

For widgets that offer an HTML code, you'll need to convert this code into a link that Notion can use. Services like HtmlSave or Apption can transform HTML codes into embeddable links. After obtaining the link, you can add it to Notion using the embed block.

Adjusting Widget Settings

Once embedded, you can adjust the widget's settings, such as resizing or repositioning, to fit your page's layout. Notion allows for easy customization of embedded widgets, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into your workspace.
