Is Sync2Sheets a full 2-way sync solution?
Sync2Sheets is not a full 2-way sync solution, but we do offer two-way sync capabilities for many common use cases.
✅ New pages: Pages created in Notion will appear in Sheets, and rows added in Sheets can be created as new pages in Notion (by enabling page creations).
🔁 Updates: By default, updates flow from Notion to Sheets. However, you can enable synced columns to send specific column values back from Sheets to Notion.
❌ Deletions: If a page is deleted in Notion, it’s removed from Sheets. But deleting a row in Sheets will not delete the page in Notion.
➕ New properties: Columns added in Notion will be added automatically in Sheets. Adding columns in Sheets does not affect Notion unless you manually configure a synced column.
Can I change the order of the columns in my sheet?
Yes! You can:
Reorder columns
Rename them
Hide them
Add new ones between synced ones
Everything will still work, as Sync2Sheets identifies columns by internal IDs — not position.
How often does Sheets-to-Notion sync happen?
That depends on your plan.
Notion ➝ Sheets sync is real-time for everyone.
Sheets ➝ Notion sync (for synced tables, cells, and columns) runs every 2 hours, 30 minutes, or 15 minutes depending on your subscription.
You can also trigger a sync manually if your plan includes that feature.
My relations show only the Page ID. How can I display the page title instead?
You can use a rollup to display the title instead of the page ID:
Add a new column with the rollup type.
Point it to your relation.
Select the title property.
In the calculation settings, choose
"Show original"
.
You’ll now see the page title next to the relation.
Where can I find my invoices?
Invoices are sent to the email used during purchase. If you can’t find them, contact us and we’ll resend them to you.
How can I force the sync to run?
If your plan includes manual syncs, you can run a sync anytime by clicking "Run Sync Now"
in the add-on.
Why is the order of the columns different from Notion?
The Notion API doesn’t support column order from views. We display the columns in the order they’re returned by the API. The Notion team has acknowledged this limitation and is working on improvements.
Why is the order of the pages not the same as in Notion?
When a database is copied (e.g., from a template), all the pages often have the same creation timestamp. This causes the Notion API to return them in random order.
Can I remove columns from the sheet?
You can hide any column — but do not remove the Page ID
column.
We use that to map and sync your rows. If it’s deleted, sync will break.
If I add a new column in Notion, will it appear in my sheet?
Yes — it will appear automatically in your sheet.
How does Sync2Sheets handle date range properties?
We split Notion date ranges into two columns in Sheets:
Start date
End date
This makes it easier to use with formulas, filters, and charts.
How does Sync2Sheets handle multi-select properties?
Since Google Sheets doesn’t support multi-select, we combine all selected values into one cell, separated by commas.
If needed, you can split the values using formulas like SPLIT()
.
If I delete a page in Notion, will it be deleted from the sheet?
Yes — deleted pages in Notion are automatically removed from Sheets.
Are hidden columns synchronized as well?
Yes. All Notion properties are synced, even if you hide their columns in the sheet. Hiding a column does not stop the sync.
Some cells are blank, but I’m using formulas that reference another database. What’s wrong?
Make sure the other Notion database used in the formula is shared with the Sync2Sheets integration. This also applies to relations and rollups — all referenced databases must be shared.
What counts as a synced column or synced cell?
A synced column is a specific column you’ve configured to send values from Sheets back to Notion. A synced cell links a single Sheets cell to a Notion block, and can be updated independently from a full database sync.
These are optional features and can be used for dashboards, workflows, or manual overrides.
What happens if I change the sheet name or tab name?
Don’t worry — renaming the sheet tab will not break the sync. Sync2Sheets tracks everything by internal IDs, not names. You can rename tabs freely.
What happens if I delete or duplicate the sheet?
If you delete the sheet, the sync will stop working for that database or table. Duplicating the sheet won’t duplicate the sync configuration. You’ll need to reconfigure it in the add-on.
Can I sync a Notion view instead of a full database?
Notion’s API doesn’t support views — we always sync the entire database. You can filter or sort data within Google Sheets after the sync.
