Create a shared Notion service account
Only one Notion user per workspace can connect to an app like Unito — this is a limitation from Notion’s API.
You could create a service account (AKA a bot account) in your Notion workspace for the sole purpose of syncing your pages. All you'd have to do is make sure that account has access to all pages and databases you plan on connecting to Unito.
If multiple users try to connect the same Notion account to different Unito workspaces or log-in to your workspace with different email addresses, your Notion flows may stop working as intended. So if you don't use a service account, be sure to only give Unito access to people on your team who absolutely need it.
Connecting Notion to your Unito workspace
After signing up for Unito, you can add Notion to your Unito workspace in one of two ways. Either when creating a new flow or through the Integrations page. Both steps are described in this article on how to connect tools to Unito.

Verify each connection in Notion
You can verify whether or not Unito has access to a page you want to sync by going to the page and clicking on the ellipsis (...) in the top-right corner. you should see Unito 2-way Sync in your list of connections.
If you later add a new page to your Notion workspace, you don’t need to re-authorize Unito. Just go to the Share menu, and invite Unito, making sure to include Can edit permissions.

IMPORTANT: Only one Notion user per workspace can connect to Unito — this is a limitation from Notion’s API. We recommend setting up a shared account for your team's Notion flows.
If multiple Notion users attempt to login to your organization's Unito account to create flows, it may cause previously created flows to stop functioning.
