  • Abbreviate Name: the abbreviation that you would like to give to the database.
  • Notion tags sync: whether you want to sync the tags column to Notion.

  • Notion API token: the token you copied from the Notion API page.
  • Notion Database ID: the database ID you copied from the Notion database URL. (e.g., only copy 7158cd3f70ce4f60afd9da5bdf74fd0c between site/ and ?. https://jxpeng.notion.site/7158cd3f70ce4f60afd9da5bdf74fd0c?v=380317ac5373sadasdas3c13e618f&pvs=4**)

Acknowledgment

Thanks to the original author for developing such a useful plugin that can synchronize Obsidian to Notion. However, the original repository can only sync Name and Tag information. For those like me who use NotionNext to set up their website, this presents some limitations. Every time I import, I need to make a lot of modifications.

Thus, based on the original author's work, I've added a feature to match the NotionNext template. This way, you can edit directly in Obsidian and publish with a single click after organizing.


Original README.md

Many Thanks for the original author's work. I've only made some changes to the original author's work. If you find this plugin useful, please give the original author a star.
