Secondary emails

Secondary Emails allow you to associate multiple verified email addresses with a single Notion account. All your secondary emails point to the same account, so you can log in, receive shares, and be mentioned using any of your verified email addresses.

You can can log in, receive page shares, and be @mentioned using any of your verified addresses.

Enterprise admins have control over secondary email policies for managed users, including enabling or restricting which domains are allowed.

Secondary emails help you:

• Prevent account lockouts: Add a backup email so you never lose access to your account if your primary email becomes unavailable

• Use multiple work emails: Enterprise users can add company email addresses so login and sharing work seamlessly across all your email addresses

• Keep access after graduation: Students can add a personal email before losing access to their educational email address

When you add a secondary email to your Notion account:

• Login: Sign in to Notion using any of your verified email addresses

• Sharing: Pages and content shared to any of your secondary emails will appear in your account

• Single identity: All your emails connect to the same account and identity in Notion

Organizations on Enterprise plans can control whether users are allowed to add and manage secondary emails.

By default, secondary emails are disabled for users with verified domain email addresses. This means:

• Users on verified domains cannot add secondary emails unless an admin enables the setting

• Admins have full control over secondary email management through organization settings

• Verified domains cannot be added as secondary emails to accounts outside the organization

Organization owners can configure secondary email settings:

1. Go to Manage organization → People tab

2. Find Allowed secondary emails

3. Choose from the following options:

   • Disabled: Users cannot add or manage secondary emails

   • Only verified domains: Users can only add secondary emails that match your organization's verified domains

Administrators can manage secondary emails for their users through:

• Manage orgnanization: Add, remove, or change the primary email for any managed user

• SCIM provisioning: Programmatically manage secondary emails using the emails field in your SCIM integration

• Audit logs: Track all secondary email add, remove, and primary email change actions

If your organization uses SSO, users can sign in with any verified email as long as your Identity Provider (IDP) supports those email addresses.

For example, if a user has both [email protected] and [email protected] configured in your IDP, they can use either email to sign in via SSO

• Maximum secondary emails: Up to 5 secondary emails per account

• Uniqueness: Each email address can only be associated with one Notion account

• Notifications: Account notifications default to your primary email address

• Verification required: All email addresses must be verified before use

• Domain restrictions: For enterprise managed users, policy restrictions apply based on verified domains
