{% hint style="info" %}
GearPlug only works with database blocks in your Notion account. This includes worksheets, calendars, etc. If you don’t have this type of block in your board, the Gear won’t work.
{% endhint %}

4. **Create a test record** in your chosen database. GearPlug will import this data, so make sure everything works properly. Click “OK” to finish the setup.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Empty Fields**: Under the imported entry, you’ll find a drop-down menu for “Empty Fields.” Here, you’ll find a list of fields you can import—but weren’t used in your record.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gearplug.io/english/set-up-your-integrations/notion/source-actions/get-new-item.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
