Notion Toggles to Anki Add-on

This add-on aims to streamline Anki card creation by leveraging Notion's user-friendly interface for note-taking. It eliminates the difficulties of directly creating/editing cards in Anki or the tediousness of copying Notion toggles into Anki.

After experimenting with all available Notion to Anki add-ons and finding them insufficient for our needs, we developed our own solution! Our add-on converts Notion toggles into questions, featuring:

1. Multiple Page Support: Import content from several pages and organize them into distinct Anki decks.
2. Recursive Toggle Discovery: Automatically locate toggles within nested pages.
3. Reliable Data Import: Utilizes the official Notion API for data import, ensuring a more dependable experience than basic HTML parsing.
4. User-Friendly Interface: Easy configuration through a graphical user interface (GUI).
5. Support for Notion Features: Handles inline tables, LaTeX equations, code blocks, and other rich content types seamlessly.

To set up your Notion API token and enable integration:

• Create a Notion API Token:

  1. Navigate to your Notion integrations page.
  2. Click on "New Integration."
  3. Assign any name to your integration (e.g., "Anki").
  4. Select the workspace from which you want to import toggles.
  5. Choose "Internal" for the Type.

• Add the Integration to Notion Pages:

  1. Go to each Notion page you want to import.
  2. Click on the three dots (•••) in the top-right corner.

3. Add-On Configuration

To configure the Notion to Anki add-on in Anki:

• Open Anki and go to the “Notion to Anki” submenu in the menu bar (under tools).

• Click on “Configuration.”

• Input your Notion API Token: Paste your copied API token into the designated field.

• Add Notion Pages:

  • For each page you want to import, locate its page ID by opening the page in Notion and copying the last part of the URL (after the last slash).

    Example: For the URL https://www.notion.so/Page-Name-1af9a720f7ef8028acefebf85901a661, the desired page ID is 1af9a720f7ef8028acefebf85901a661.

  • Paste the page ID into the “Page ID” box and specify the name of the Anki deck you want to import into.

  • You can add multiple pages as needed.

• Enable Recursion: To find toggles within nested pages, check the “Recursive” box for that page.

• Sync Control: Enable or disable syncing for specific pages anytime by checking the corresponding checkbox. This will not affect cards already imported from those pages.

• Click “Save” to finalize your configuration.

4. Import from Notion

To import your toggles:

• Head to the “Notion to Anki” submenu in the menu bar (under tools) and click “Import.”
• The import will run in the background, allowing you to continue using Anki as usual.
• Once completed, you’ll receive an in-app notification confirming the successful import.
