Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Notion data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your project management data instead of moving it.

What is the Notion connector

Sync your Notion pages, databases, and comments into BigQuery with Kaivo to report on the content and work your team tracks in Notion alongside your data.

Category	Project Management, Files & Databases
Authentication	API key
Setup	Self-service

Getting started with the Notion connector

Sign up for Kaivo and create a workspace.
Connect your Notion account.
Choose which tables to sync.
Wait for the initial sync to finish.
Query your data in BigQuery or your favourite AI or BI tool.

Authenticating Notion

Authenticate with your Access Token.

Field	Description
Access Token	Access token for your private Notion integration.

Configuring the Notion connector

When you set up the connector, you provide:

Field	Description

How the Notion sync works

After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Notion supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won't get duplicate rows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the initial sync take for Notion?

It depends on how much history is in your Notion account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they're much faster.

Can I sync only some tables or columns?

Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don't select are never copied to your warehouse.

What happens when Notion's schema changes?

New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven't selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table's sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what's currently in Notion, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.

Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Notion instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Notion connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.
