Does Taskhold keep syncing with Notion?

No. An import is a one-time copy. Notion stays as it was, and changes made there afterwards don't show up in Taskhold until you import again.

What if I import the same thing twice?

Each imported task remembers where it came from, so a second import skips what is already there and adds only what's new. Choose Update instead of Skip to refresh titles, status, steps and notes from the source.

Can I undo an import?

Yes. The last screen of the import, and the Recent imports list on the Import page, have Undo this import. Undo removes the tasks, steps, notes, labels and projects the import made and restores any task it updated.

Does Taskhold store my Notion token?

No. The token goes out with the requests for that one import and is then dropped. Taskhold calls only Notion's own API address with it. You can revoke the token in Notion as soon as the import is done.

Move from Notion to Taskhold

By Jake Marsh, who builds Taskhold. Updated 2026-11-09. 3 min read.

Short answer: Open Import in Taskhold, pick Notion and connect with a token or drop an export file. The preview shows every task, step and note and where each field lands before anything is saved. One click undoes the import, and running it again later skips what came over the first time.

Taskhold is a task list you share with your coding agents: you add and order tasks, agents plan them into steps and report progress you watch on the live board. Importing from Notion is a one-time move, not a sync, so your history comes with you and Notion stays untouched.

The steps below are the same ones the Import page shows. Import your tasks lists every source the importer reads, and Taskhold vs Notion says when to stay put.

Connect Notion with an integration secret

Taskhold reads Notion through its API with an integration secret you paste once. The token is used for that import and dropped: it isn't saved, logged or shown again.

In Notion, open Settings > Connections > Develop or manage integrations and create an internal integration with read content access.
Copy the secret and paste it here.
On your task database, open the ... menu > Connections and add the integration, so it can read it.
In Taskhold, open Import, pick Notion, paste it and click Connect.
Pick what to bring over, check the preview and click Import.

Or import Notion's export file

Or open the database, click ... > Export, pick Markdown & CSV and download it.
Unzip it and drop the CSV here.
Check the preview and click Import.

What comes over from Notion

What comes over from Notion. Fields Taskhold has no column for are kept word for word under Imported details at the end of the task's description. The preview lists each one with a count.

After the import

Imported tasks keep their original created and completed dates, and each one's history starts with "Imported from Notion". Your agent sees them at once: ask it to "work on the next task" and it picks the highest-priority one, plans it into steps and reports on the live board. The quickstart connects an agent in a minute.

Agents can import too. POST /api/import with the file's text and a project name brings a TODO.md, todo.txt or CSV in with one call; the REST API docs have the details.
