FAQ
Here's a list of frequently asked questions, the list will be updated periodically.
To work properly the extension needs to access the following websites:
-
The saving process means that there is a back-and-forth between the extension and Notion’s API.
-
The extension needs to access ChatGPT’s page to scrape the chat that you are saving.
-
chatgpt-to-notion.onrender.com
For more security, the credentials (access token) issued by Notion to identify the extension and allow it to act in your workspace are stored remotely on the long-term. Storing them locally in your browser would allow them to be compromised. The source corde for that remote server can be found on the extension’s GitHub.
Take note that removing the extension’s access to your Notion workspace (Settings > My connections) will stop it from being able to access your workpsace as long as you don’t reinstall it and redo the authentification process.

As part of the Notion authentification process, you are redirected on a webpage choosen by the Notion integration’s maker. Notion’s API response is url-encoded which means that the extension needs to access the redirect page to fetch it. In the case of this extension, that redirect page is the following.
As a way to make further work on the extension worthwhile, I have decided to include affiliated content in very specific parts of the extension, which are the following:
- The top of the extension’s Notion page
- The extension’s popup after a successful save
These spots were picked as a way to make this as unintrusive as possible. Each current and future sponsor is validated by me (to insure their honesty and relevancy) and the banners are implemented manually into the extension’s code. As such, NO DATA IS COLLECTED or shared with any 3rd party to make this possible, and never will be.
On the side of every ChatGPT answer, you’ll find a pin icon that allows you to save specifically that answer.
Currently, if a Notion page with the same discussion title exists in your linked database, the newly saved answer will be appended to the bottom of the page. A future update to the extension will allow you to create a new page from individual answers aswell!
This means that the linking process fails on Notion’s side. This is probably because the extension was already authorized in your workspace and it lost the access token (eg. by being uninstalled).
You’ll have to go into your Notion workspace, into ‘Settings & members > My connections’ to revoke the access. Things should then be working fine! If that’s not the case, please report an issue.
Notion databases can hold several different properties that you can then add to pages inside them. Among these properties is URL, that allows the extension to save the link to the conversation you’re having with ChatGPT into Notion, for easier future access.
You may refer to the Notion documentation for more information about databases.
As stated in the extension’s popup, this is probably because the data from your Notion’s workspace has yet to be synced with the extension. It might take up to a few minutes in the worst cases, but shouldn’t be much longer.
Please take note that Notion databases are different from the pages that you’ll usually work with. Click here for more information about Notion databases.
If the extension keeps failing to find your databases, please report an issue.
This happens because the token Notion issued to identify & authorize the extension to modify your workspace on your behalf got invalidated for some reason.
You’ll have to go into your Notion workspace, into ‘Settings & members > My connections’ to revoke the access. Then, reinstall the extension. Things should then be working fine!
If that’s not the case, please report an issue.
