Originally created by @immortaly007 on GitHub (Nov 17, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/20

Originally assigned to: @appflowy, @qinluhe on GitHub.

1~3 main use cases of the proposed feature
As a (former) notion user, I want to import my Notion into AppFlowy. So that I can take control of my already existing data.

What I believe is required for this feature to work well:

  • All pages/subpages and data tables from Notion should be copied to/imported into AppFlowy
  • The formatting is consistent between Notion and AppFlowy.
  • Internal links (e.g. between pages) should work, and now direct to the correct location in AppFlowy.
  • There should be a warning if some parts of the Notion can't be imported, which clearly states which pages are effected. This way, users can either copy those pages manually, or decide to abonden them.

what types of users can benefit from using your proposed feature
(Former) Notion users.

@tomByrer commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2021):

If Appflowy has an API or a easy to access DB, then a simple API bridge should suffice as MVP.

Is Appflowy designed to be 100% API compatable?

There is a problem with importing Notion via HTML and Markdown.

I am attaching the cleaned application logs when attempting to import:
log.2025-09-18.redacted.txt
log.sync.2025-09-18-10.redacted.txt
log.sync.2025-09-18-11.redacted.txt

Imported notes do not have valid links to subdirectories, and if you try to navigate to them, it simply redirects you to the browser's home page:
