notion-sync
Bi-directional sync and management for Notion pages and databases. Use when working with Notion workspaces for collaborative editing, research tracking, project management, or when you need to sync markdown files to/from Notion pages or monitor Notion pages for changes.
Why use this skill?
Use notion-sync to bridge your markdown workflow with Notion. Perform bi-directional syncing, database querying, and automated project management via OpenClaw.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/robansuini/notion-syncWhat This Skill Does
The notion-sync skill provides a robust command-line interface for the Notion API, enabling bi-directional synchronization between local markdown files and your Notion workspace. It is designed for users who want to treat Notion as a primary content management system while maintaining local control of their files. The tool handles database querying, page searching, and content management, supporting advanced filtering, sorting, and JSON output modes for seamless automation within CI/CD pipelines or AI workflows.
Installation
To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/robansuini/notion-sync. Once installed, ensure you have Node.js v18 or later. You must configure your Notion integration token by either placing it in ~/.notion-token (recommended), passing it via stdin, or setting the NOTION_API_KEY environment variable. Ensure you share the specific pages or databases with your integration in the Notion UI for proper access permissions.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for several workflows:
- Research Tracking: Query databases to extract specific research entries based on status or tags and pipe the output to local analysis tools.
- Content Pipeline: Sync local markdown files with Notion pages, allowing for drafting in your preferred IDE while maintaining a collaborative workspace in Notion.
- Project Management: Use the filtering capabilities to extract task lists and project statuses into custom dashboard reports or automated status notifications.
Example Prompts
- "Sync the markdown file at ./notes/project-a.md with the Notion page titled 'Project A Documentation'."
- "Search for all databases in my workspace containing the word 'Budget' and return the results as a JSON array."
- "Query my 'Tasks' database for all entries where the status is 'In Progress' and print the titles to the console."
Tips & Limitations
- Security: Always use the
--token-fileorNOTION_API_KEYmethod; avoid passing sensitive tokens in shell commands to prevent exposure in process lists. - Automation: Utilize the
--jsonflag when chaining commands to ensure machine-readable data, which simplifies integration with other OpenClaw skills. - Limitations: Note that syncing complex nested blocks from Notion to Markdown may lead to minor formatting discrepancies; always review output after significant sync operations.
