The problem it solves

You want to reuse or repurpose content from your Notion pages elsewhere, but manually copying blocks, links, and formatting out of Notion is tedious and things often get lost in translation. Keeping a markdown backup of your pages usually means doing it by hand.

Who it fits

Teams using Notion for documentation who want an automated way to convert or duplicate page content.

How it works

  1. The automation is started on a chosen Notion page
  2. The page's content is pulled in full, including formatting and links
  3. The content is converted into markdown
  4. The markdown is converted back into Notion-ready blocks
  5. The content is written back into your Notion page automatically
What you get

Documentation content kept consistent everywhere

You can convert any Notion page to markdown and back automatically, keeping your documentation content consistent everywhere.

What you get

A markdown version of your Notion content, plus an updated page with that content re-added.

What you need

A Notion account with API access.

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.
