The problem it solves

You export a contact list from some app and now you're stuck retyping names, emails, and phone numbers into Notion one row at a time. It's slow, easy to mess up, and nobody wants to do it more than once.

Who it fits

Small teams or solo operators who keep their contacts organized in a Notion database.

How it works

  1. You provide a CSV file of contacts stored in Google Drive
  2. The system reads and extracts the file's contents
  3. It pulls out full name, email, phone, and company for each contact
  4. Each contact is added as a new entry in your Notion database
What you get

Contacts imported cleanly into Notion

You get every contact from your CSV file added straight into your Notion database, with name, email, phone, and company filled in.

What you get

A Notion database populated with your imported contacts.

What you need

A Google Drive account and a Notion account with an integration connection.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
