| Period or Date | Determines the KPI month | Add a month, period, as-of, or date property |
| Metric columns | Populate recognized KPI IDs | Rename columns or map fields explicitly |
| Shared database | Allows the integration to read rows | Share the database with the Sabaki integration |

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Notion database should I connect?
Connect the database that stores company metrics by month or reporting period. A database titled around KPIs, metrics, finance, revenue, or dashboard is easiest for Sabaki to detect.
What if Sabaki cannot find the database?
Share the database with the integration and choose it manually in connection settings.
Can Notion sync any KPI?
Sabaki only writes metrics it recognizes in the KPI catalog. Unsupported columns are ignored.
Does Notion overwrite manual KPI values?
Connector-backed rows can update connector-backed KPI values. Manual values are protected by the KPI snapshot upsert rules.
