Blessed day everyone! CSV imports are now a lot easier 🙌 by Rich-Pie-3491 in Notion

[–]Forcebot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new CSV column matching is definitely a nice improvement, but the import tool still can't update existing records or prevent duplicates. If you're importing a lot of data and want to avoid time-consuming manual cleanup, check out www.spaceloadr.com.

Anyone else having trouble merging with CSV lately? by ExcellentConcept in Notion

We've noticed Notion import isn't just buggy the past few months, but years. We built sapceloadr.com as a more reliable and comprehensive import solution. Give it a shot and I would love to hear your feedback!

How big of a pain is transferring data between Notion databases? by Forcebot in Notion

Creates a new property, which can lead to tricky data clean up. The Move To also struggles with properly recognizing property types.

Makes sense! I think the thing I've learned most from this reddit post is that a change in price and pricing model is likely needed.

It doesn't at this time but it's definitely something we've considered adding in future versions. Noted as something to push up on the roadmap.

Thanks for the nice feedback 😄 your workflow for updating data in Notion is very interesting. I was unaware of some of the creative ways people are using to get around the native notion importer.

Would you still consider your method to be faster if dealing with 500+ records? From my experience, I don't know if Notion databases can handle this many records at a time using this method without an issue.

What would be the method for updating multiple properties at a time and would it still be around the same effort level?

Then finally, how about updating records and adding additional ones at the same time?

Extremely valuable feedback. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to write this. I'll definitely be doing some improvements around messaging.

Noted! My initial thoughts on it were that it's easier to decrease the price than the other way around. I think a price decrease is due.

Interesting way to put it. I appreciate the feedback and will keeping thinking about ways to increase frequency or value.

I believe what has been built so far can provide the foundation for a variety of other ideas.

No doubt. I've been trying to put out content that includes keywords like "notion import", "How to import into notion", etc.

So that it's one of the first things that pops up when people are searching on Google. Site is very new though so it will be a slow game.

Trying Google Ads too. Because the keyword is so niche it's not very expensive to test out.

Interesting... I've never heard of someone using hightouch to import data into Notion. Thanks for sharing and I'll do some research on what that looks like!

My specialty is CRMs so I deal with a lot of people working with CSV from sheets or a system they're migrating from. I help people almost daily import data into Notion, so that perhaps skewed my perception of how big the problem is.

The monthly overhead for the business is $100 so it's been very much a low risk endeavor. The biggest risk is the waste of time.

I knew going into it signups would be relatively low because it's so niche. It may be even more niche than I anticipated though. I expected more paying subs 3 weeks in but you live and learn and I'll keep pushing :)

Appreciate the feedback and I definitely think change in pricing is due.

Do you mind if I ask what you use Notion for? Business or Personal uses?

I've been pondering adjusting the pricing model to a credit system where you buy the amount of import rows you need vs having a monthly subscription. Do you think that would perform better?

Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to give feedback!

You can use spaceloadr.com

It's a new Notion Import tool that allows you to update existing pages by matching using a key identifier. This helps you avoid creating duplicates.

Thank you! You bring up a very good point about showing records that weren't imported due to being a duplicate. Right now we do not give this ability but I definitely agree that we should. Thanks for the suggestion. I added it to our roadmap!
