Add your Notion notes into your Orbit workspace with this community-built integration.

To set up this integration you will need some details from Notion. To get these details please follow the First Time Setup guide.

The application requires the following environment variables:

Variable	Description	More Info
NOTION_API_KEY	The secret Notion API key	Follow the First Time Setup Guide for instructions on finding the API key
NOTION_WORKSPACE_SLUG	Your Notion workspace name	If your website address is https://notion.so/my-workspace/ then your slug is my-workspace
NOTION_DATABASE_ID	The ID of the Notion database this integration is tracking	Your database ID the part of your Notion database URL that follows after your workspace slug and before the question mark (?). The ID is 32 characters long, containing numbers and letters.
ORBIT_API_KEY	API key for Orbit	Found in Account Settings in your Orbit workspace
ORBIT_WORKSPACE_ID	ID for your Orbit workspace	Last part of the Orbit workspace URL, i.e. https://app.orbit.love/my-workspace, the ID is my-workspace

Install the package with the following command

$ gem install notion_orbit

Then, run bundle install from your terminal.

You can instantiate a client by either passing in the required credentials during instantiation or by providing them in your .env file.

client = NotionOrbit::Client.new(
    orbit_api_key: YOUR_API_KEY,
    orbit_workspace_id: YOUR_ORBIT_WORKSPACE_ID,
    notion_api_key: YOUR_NOTION_API_KEY,
    notion_database_id: YOUR_NOTION_DATABASE_ID,
    notion_workspace_slug: YOUR_NOTION_WORKSPACE_SLUG
)

client = NotionOrbit::Client.new

Once you have an instantiated client, you can fetch new notes and add them to your Orbit workspace by invoking the #notes method on the client.

New notes will be added to the respective member profiles located by email address. If a member cannot be found by the email address, a new member will be created.

The database entry must have the two following properties in order for the note to be sent to Orbit:

• Send to Orbit as a selected checkbox
• Member Email with the Orbit member's email address

Then, once those fields are set up, the method can be called as follows:

client.notes

This integration has built-in support to convert the following Notion content block and types into markdown and rendered in Orbit:

• Heading Level 1
• Heading Level 2
• Heading Level 3
• Numbered List
• Bulleted List
• Paragraph Block
• To-Do List
• Bold Font
• Italic Font
• Code Blocks

You can also use this package with the included CLI. To use the CLI pass in the required environment variables on the command line before invoking the CLI.

To check for new notes:

$ ORBIT_API_KEY=... ORBIT_WORKSPACE_ID=... NOTION_API_KEY=... NOTION_DATABASE_ID=... NOTION_WORKSPACE_SLUG=... bundle exec notion_orbit --check-notes

⚡ You can set up this integration in a matter of minutes using our GitHub Actions template. It will run regularly to add new activities to your Orbit workspace. All you need is a GitHub account.
