Open Organization settings in Genaya

Docs Sync moves documents between Genaya Notes and the tools your team already writes in. Import a Notion page or a Google Doc as a Genaya note, or export any Genaya note as a new Notion page or Google Doc. Paragraphs, headings, bulleted and numbered lists, to-dos, toggles, quotes, callouts, code blocks, dividers and tables come across.

Connect Notion

  1. 1
    In Genaya, open Settings -> Integrations -> Docs Sync.
  2. 2
    On the Notion card, click Connect Notion. Notion connects once for the whole organization, so an admin does this step.
  3. 3
    Notion opens. Pick the workspace, then choose the pages and teamspaces Genaya may use, and allow access.
  4. 4
    Back in Genaya the Notion card shows Connected. Optional: under Default page for exports, choose the Notion page new exports are created under.
    Settings, Integrations, Docs Sync: the Notion card shows Connected with the workspace name, Default page for exports, Reconnect and Disconnect, next to the Google Docs card with Connect Google Docs
lightbulbGenaya only sees the Notion pages you shared during that step. If a page is missing from the list, share it with the Genaya connection in Notion, then search again.

Connect Google Docs

Google Docs connects per member: on the Google Docs card click Connect Google Docs and sign in with your own Google account. Each member sees only their own documents.

Import a page as a Genaya note

  1. 1
    Open Settings -> Integrations -> Docs Sync, or click the import button at the top of Notes.
  2. 2
    Under Import a doc, pick Notion or Google Docs and search for the page.
  3. 3
    Click Import. When it finishes, click Open note to see it in Notes.
Import a doc on Docs Sync with the Notion pages listed, an Import button on each row, and the message Imported How we work as a Genaya note with Open note

Export a note

Open the note in Notes, open its menu and choose Export to Notion or Export to Google Docs. Genaya creates a new page or document; it never changes an existing one.

An imported note open in Notes with its to-dos, link, toggle and callout, and the note menu open on Export to Notion

Disconnect

On the Notion or Google Docs card, click Disconnect and confirm. Genaya deletes its sign-in at once. Notes you already imported stay in Genaya. You can also remove Genaya from your Notion workspace connections or from your Google account permissions.
