I am Leandro the creator of Notion2Sheets, happy to answer any questions!

Notion2Sheets is a Google Workspace Add-On that runs on the sidebar in Google Sheets and allows users to sync Notion databases with Google Sheets among other things.

It has been around since May 31, 2021 and has almost 15k users.

Super niche tool but pays the bills


Pretty impressive. What are you building for Coda? Is there a demand for it as I think their marketplace is relatively new.


Thanks!

I am building Packs for Coda, which is the name for integrations. Packs can bring data from third party services and define new formulas and actions, at this time I have built 23 of them connecting with services like Notion, Airtable, Bubble, Webflow and more

There is demand but the scale is not the one of Notion, the best Packs have around 1k workspace installs and then it depends on the number of users on each workspace but I don't have those numbers.


Great work Leandro on this. You almost combined three platforms - Google Workspace, Notion and Google Sheets together to build this.

Were you ever worried of platform risk anytime while building this? Also, what would you do differently if you had to start all over this again?


I do, not so much about Google but more about Notion, the product changes fast and I fear about changes in the API that would make Notion2Sheets not viable, it almost happen actually , but they rollbacked the changes.

I would think a little bit more about monetization from the beginning, at first there was just the free plan with artificial limits but nothing to test if users were willing to pay.


Thankyou. Makes sense!!


Great story! I’m curious what use cases are common for the integration?


Thanks! The most common use cases are data analysis, backups, charts, sharing data with users outside your Notion workspace and using Google Sheets formulas to then update values in Notion
