Tally ➔ Notion API Payload Specification

Technical reference for automating data exchange between Forms and Workspace workflows.

💡 How this integration works:

1. Tally triggers an event when form_response occurs.
2. Data is packaged into a standard JSON webhook payload.
3. Payload is delivered into your Notion API intake pipeline and mapped to your Workspace targets.

Authentication & Event Specs

Parameter	Source (Tally)	Destination (Notion API)
