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.

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.
