The things3notionscript from avery2

things3notionscript's Introduction

Description

Things3 to Notion workflow to migrate Things3 "notes" (items in the inbox with no title) to Notion. It will migrate notes in the inbox with no title or notes with the migrate to notion tag.

Setup

Library installs
- pip3 install things.py
- pip3 install python-dotenv
- pip3 install notion-client
- pip3 install pyobjc
.env setup
- Setup the .env file, then you can use the scripts.
  - Get a secret token from an Notion integration.
  - Set variable NOTION_TOKEN equal to your secret token.

Scripts

empty_things3_inbox_to_notion.py: Takes a block id (i.e. bf14e6e54b74464db2d2483e114455a6) and migrates the things3 inbox items to that block (or page). You can get this link with command + L or from the end of the Notion URL.

Setup Instructions
- Enable permissions for the script: chmod a+x empty_things3_inbox_to_notion.py
- Run the script: python3 empty_things3_inbox_to_notion.py [block ID]
  - If no block ID given, it will try to infer from last used block ID

Debug

Make sure your Things3 is up to date. This broke the Things3 python library for me before

things3notionscript's Issues

Doesn't work when you move the Notion page

formatting doesn't work

the markdown of the things3 object isn't completely formatted when it goes into Notion (in the way copy/paste is).

Pull multiple Things3 objects into one giant page

Optionally organized via toggle

This is helpful because often with thought capture it's more useful to organize things into one giant page without unnecessary pagination. The old version of having each idea be its own page is too slow to work with and requires too much overhead, the separate overlay per thought is too much.

Prompt with current note, possible y/n

As you loop through the things3 objects, give an option to optically see the output and decide if you want to move it to things3. Kinda like labeling. Maybe use flask as UI.
