🔗 Notion Integration Setup

Transform your Boot.dev learning into a searchable knowledge base!

Step 1: Create a Notion Integration

1. Go to notion.so/my-integrations
2. Click "+ New integration"
3. Name it (e.g., "Boot.dev Content Extractor")
4. Select your workspace
5. Go to the Configuration tab
6. Copy the Internal Integration Secret (starts with ntn_)

Step 2: Create Notion Databases

Create one or more databases for different exercise types. Here's a recommended setup:

Database 1: "Boot.dev Challenges"

Properties to add:

• Type (Select): Challenge, Lesson
• Exercise Type (Select): Coding, Interview, Multiple Choice, Free Text, CLI
• Language (Select): Python, JavaScript, Go, etc.
• URL (URL): Link back to the exercise
• Date (Date): Extraction timestamp
• Rating (Number): Your rating (1-5 stars)

Database 2: "Boot.dev Lessons" (Optional)

Same properties as above, or customize to your needs!

Database 3: "Other" (Fallback)

Catches any unmatched content types.

Step 3: Connect Databases to Integration

For each database:

1. Open the database in Notion
2. Click the "..." menu (top right)
3. Select "+ Add connections"
4. Choose your integration

Step 4: Get Database IDs

For each database:

1. Open the database as a full page
2. Copy the URL - it looks like:

   https://www.notion.so/workspace/DATABASE_ID?v=...
   

3. The DATABASE_ID is the 32-character code (letters and numbers)

Step 5: Configure the Extension

1. Click the extension icon
2. Click "Options"
3. Enable "Notion integration"
4. Paste your Integration Secret
5. Add your databases:
   • Type name: challenge, lesson, other (or custom names)
   • Database ID: The 32-character code from Step 4
6. Click "Test Notion Connection" to verify
7. Click "Save Settings"

📋 Recommended Database Structure

📁 Boot.dev Challenges
  ├─ challenge → Your main challenges database
  ├─ lesson    → Lessons and tutorials  
  └─ other     → Fallback for everything else

The extension automatically matches content type to database. If no match is found, it uses the "other" database!
