Whimsical
An integration allowing you to embed interactive flowcharts, mind maps, and wireframes from Whimsical directly into Notion pages.
Definition
Whimsical is an online visual workspace for creating flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, sticky notes, and more. It’s designed to help teams plan, brainstorm, and prototype concepts quickly using a drag-and-drop interface. Within Notion, you can embed Whimsical boards using the Embed block. This integration allows you to display fully interactive diagrams inside any Notion page, keeping your visual assets in context with your project documentation and databases.
Usage & Context
You might use Whimsical in Notion when mapping out a user flow, designing a wireframe, or planning a project. By embedding the live diagram, collaborators can view and comment on visuals alongside related notes, tasks, or specs. These embeds update automatically; changes made in Whimsical reflect instantly in Notion. To add a Whimsical embed, copy the board URL, paste it into Notion, and select “Create embed.” You can resize the frame and place it inline with text or inside toggle blocks, galleries, or full pages. Team members with access to the Whimsical board can interact directly in Notion.
