Canvas to Notion Integration

This project allows for integration between a Canvas calendar and a Notion database. It makes it easy to import assignments into your notion assignment database

WARNING: This code was developed for use with a specific Notion page and may require some coding knowledge to debug if you encounter issues.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To use this, you will need:

• A Canvas account with the calendar url
• A Notion account with a database of assignments
• A Notion API key

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/S1monlol/notionCanvas.git

2. Navigate to the project directory and install the dependencies:
   cd notionCanvas
npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root of the project and add the following variables:

NOTION_API_KEY=<your-notion-api-key>  
NOTION_DATABASE_ID=<your-notion-database-id>
CANVAS_CALENDAR_URL=<your-canvas-calendar-url>

How to get notion database ID

Enter the page that contains the Database. Check the title of the Database and click the "Expand to Full screen" icon, which looks like a two-way arrow. Check the URL structure. It will look like https://www.notion.so/example123?v=example123 Copy the alphanumeric characters in the URL between notion.so/ and ?. This is your database ID.

Usage

To run the integration, use the following command:
npm start

To delete all entries from the Notion database, use the following command: `npm start reset

Customization

To customize the project for your specific use case, you can edit the following files:

• classes.js: Edit this file to include your own classes and their corresponding IDs.
• initElement: If an error acures, edit this function from app.js to specify which fields to extract from the Canvas calendar and how to map them to the Notion database properties.
