Import your existing Notion docs into HelpBento with the import wizard. You connect with an internal Notion connection's access token, share the pages you want with that connection, and the wizard turns pages into articles and sub-page containers into categories.
Connect your workspace
- Go to notion.so/developers/connections and click Create connection. Name it, set Authentication method to Access token (not OAuth), pick your workspace, and create it.
- On the connection's Configuration tab, copy its Access token. Leave Read content enabled under Capabilities.
- Share your docs with the connection: open the top-level page in Notion, click the ••• menu, choose Connections, and add yours. Sharing a page shares its sub-pages too.
- In HelpBento, go to Settings > Migrations, click Start Import on the Notion card, paste the token into Notion access token, and click Validate Connection.
How pages map
In Select Pages, tick the shared pages you want to import from. Within each one:
| In Notion | In HelpBento |
|---|---|
| A page with no sub-pages | An article |
| A direct child page that contains sub-pages | A category; that page and all its descendants become the articles inside it |
| Direct child pages with no sub-pages | Articles in a category named after the page you selected |
| A selected page with no sub-pages at all | An article in a category called "Imported from Notion" |
Notion blocks are converted to the HelpBento editor format and images are re-hosted in HelpBento. Child-page blocks inside a page are skipped, because those pages import as their own articles.
Status after import
Notion pages have no published or draft state, so Notion imports always land as drafts regardless of anything in Notion. That gives you a chance to review formatting before anything goes live, and it means all pages are ticked by default in the preview.
