Notion importer

This node app converts a Notion CSV and markdown export into a Focalboard archive. To use:

1. From a Notion Board, open the ... menu at the top right
2. Select Export, pick Markdown & CSV as the export format, select true to include subpages.
3. Save it locally, and unzip the folder e.g. to notion-export
4. Run npm install from within focalboard/webapp
5. Run npm install from within focalboard/import/notion
6. Run npx ts-node importNotion.ts -i <path to the notion-export folder> -o archive.boardarchive
7. In Focalboard, click Settings, then Import archive and select archive.boardarchive

Import scope

Currently, the script imports all cards from a single board, including their properties and markdown content.

The Notion export format does not preserve property types, so the script currently imports all card properties as a Select type. You can change the type after importing into Focalboard.
