# Syncing Notes
|
|
|
|
After configuring your Notion database in the plugin settings, you can start syncing your Obsidian notes to Notion.
|
|
|
|
## Manual Sync
|
|
|
|
To sync a note, open the note you want to sync and use the "Share to NotionNext" command from the command palette or the note context menu. This will create a new page in your Notion database with the content of your Obsidian note.
|
|
|
|
## Attachment Upload
|
|
|
|
The plugin automatically detects and uploads local attachments (images, PDFs, etc.) from your notes to Notion.
|
|
|
|
### Supported Attachment Formats
|
|
|
|
**Image formats:**
|
|
- PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG, HEIC, TIF, TIFF, BMP
|
|
|
|
**Other formats:**
|
|
- PDF
|
|
|
|
### Supported Link Formats
|
|
|
|
Currently supported:
|
|
|
|
#### Wikilink Format (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
![[image.png]]
|
|
![[folder/image.png]]
|
|
![[image.png|alt text]]
|
|
|
|
[[document.pdf]]
|
|
[[folder/document.pdf]]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Standard Markdown Format
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[document.pdf](document.pdf)
|
|
[document.pdf](folder/document.pdf)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### TODO
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- [ ] App URL Format
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How Attachment Upload Works
|
|
|
|
1. **Auto Detection**: During sync, the plugin scans your note content and identifies all local attachment references
|
|
2. **Upload to Notion**: Detected attachments are uploaded via the Notion File Upload API
|
|
3. **Link Replacement**: After successful upload, local links are replaced with Notion file references
|
|
4. **Image Display**: Images are displayed as Notion image blocks
|
|
5. **File Embedding**: Non-image files like PDFs are embedded as file blocks
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
- Attachment references inside code blocks are not processed
|
|
- External URLs (`http://` or `https://`) are not processed
|
|
- Single file size limit is 5MB
|
|
- Ensure attachment files exist in your Vault
|
|
|
|
## Auto Sync
|
|
|
|
The plugin supports automatic syncing that monitors your notes for changes and automatically syncs them to Notion.
|
|
|
|
### Enabling Auto Sync
|
|
|
|
1. Open the plugin settings
|
|
2. Find the "Auto Sync" toggle under General Settings
|
|
3. Enable the toggle
|
|
4. Configure the "Auto Sync Delay" (default: 5 seconds, minimum: 2 seconds)
|
|
|
|
### Prepare the Frontmatter
|
|
|
|
Auto sync reads the database list from the frontmatter key you configured in **Settings → Auto Sync Frontmatter Key** (default: `autosync-database`). To make sure your notes can sync automatically:
|
|
|
|
- Add the configured key to your note's frontmatter
|
|
- List one or more database abbreviations that you defined in the plugin settings
|
|
- Keep the list updated if you change the databases a note should sync to
|
|
|
|
Example with the default key:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: My Article
|
|
autosync-database: [blog, portfolio]
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you change the key name in the settings, update your frontmatter to match.
|
|
|
|
### How Auto Sync Works
|
|
|
|
When auto sync is enabled:
|
|
- The plugin monitors markdown files for changes
|
|
- **Only files with the auto sync key in frontmatter will be processed**
|
|
- Files without the auto sync key are silently skipped - no sync operations or notices
|
|
- Files containing internal attachments (local images/PDFs) are skipped - sync them manually
|
|
- After you stop editing for the configured delay period, auto sync is triggered
|
|
- **First-time upload is supported**: No need to manually sync first - just add the frontmatter key and the plugin will handle the initial upload
|
|
- If a file is linked to multiple databases, it will sync to all of them automatically
|
|
- After the first sync, a `NotionID-{database}` will be added to the frontmatter for future updates
|
|
|
|
### Auto Sync Scenarios
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario A: New Document (First-Time Auto Upload)
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: My New Article
|
|
autosync-database: [blog]
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Behavior:**
|
|
- ✅ Detects no NotionID present but `autosync-database` is configured
|
|
- ✅ Automatically performs first-time upload to the Blog database
|
|
- ✅ Adds `NotionID-blog: xxx` to the frontmatter after successful upload
|
|
- ✅ Shows success/failure notification
|
|
- 📝 **No Action Required:** The plugin handles the initial upload automatically
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario B: Synced to One Database
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: My Article
|
|
NotionID-blog: abc123
|
|
autosync-database: [blog]
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Behavior:**
|
|
- ✅ Detects 1 NotionID
|
|
- ✅ Automatically syncs to the Blog database
|
|
- ✅ Shows success/failure notification from the upload command
|
|
- 📝 **No Action Required:** Changes are automatically synced
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario C: Synced to Multiple Databases
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: My Article
|
|
NotionID-blog: abc123
|
|
NotionID-portfolio: def456
|
|
NotionID-notes: ghi789
|
|
autosync-database: [blog, portfolio, notes]
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Behavior:**
|
|
- ✅ Detects 3 database targets
|
|
- ✅ Shows notice: "🔄 Auto sync: Syncing to 3 database(s)..."
|
|
- ✅ Syncs to all 3 databases sequentially
|
|
- ✅ Shows individual result notifications for each database
|
|
- 📝 **No Action Required:** Changes are automatically synced to all linked databases
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario D: Custom Frontmatter Key
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: My Article
|
|
NotionID-blog: abc123
|
|
NotionID-portfolio: def456
|
|
🚀-sync-targets: [blog, portfolio]
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Behavior:**
|
|
- ✅ Uses your custom key (for example `🚀-sync-targets`) configured in settings
|
|
- ✅ Syncs to the listed databases when NotionIDs are present
|
|
- 📝 **Remember:** Update both the setting and your frontmatter if you rename the key
|
|
### Auto Sync Best Practices
|
|
|
|
1. **Add Frontmatter Key**: Just add `autosync-database: [your-db]` to enable auto sync - no manual upload needed
|
|
2. **Configure Delay Appropriately**: Set a longer delay (5-10 seconds) if you make frequent edits
|
|
3. **Monitor Sync Status**: Check the notifications to ensure syncs complete successfully
|
|
4. **Check Logs**: Open the developer console (Ctrl+Shift+I / Cmd+Option+I) to view detailed sync logs
|
|
|
