How to Auto-Export Your Notion Database to Google Sheets

Stop exporting CSV files manually. Here's how to set up automatic, live Notion database exports to Google Sheets.

Exporting your Notion database to a CSV file and importing it into Google Sheets every morning is not a workflow — it's a chore. Here's how to automate it completely.

The problem with manual CSV exports

  • Data is stale the moment you export it
  • Someone has to remember to do it every day
  • Formatting gets lost between Notion and Sheets
  • If your team updates Notion, Sheets is out of date immediately

The better approach: live sync

Instead of exporting, you connect Notion directly to Google Sheets and let a sync tool handle updates automatically. Whenever your Notion database changes, Sheets updates instantly.

Step-by-step setup with Notion Sheets

  1. 1Sign up for Notion Sheets (free)
  2. 2Click 'Connect' on the Notion card and authorize your workspace
  3. 3Click 'Connect' on the Google Sheets card and authorize your Google account
  4. 4Go to Sync Configs → New Sync
  5. 5Select your Notion database
  6. 6Enter your Google Sheets spreadsheet ID (from the URL) or leave blank to auto-create
  7. 7Map your Notion properties to column names
  8. 8Choose 'Notion to Sheets' direction for a one-way export
  9. 9Click Create Sync — done

Your Spreadsheet ID is in the Google Sheets URL: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/[THIS_PART]/edit

What about new rows in Notion?

Notion Sheets automatically detects new rows added to your Notion database and appends them to your Sheets. You don't need to do anything — it's fully automatic.

Can I sync multiple Notion databases?

Yes. You can create multiple Sync Configs — one for each Notion database. Each one maps to a different spreadsheet or a different tab in the same spreadsheet.
