Batch Sync & Backup

Batch Sync allows you to export multiple Claude AI conversations to Notion in one operation, creating a complete backup of your chat history.

Prerequisites

• Completed Notion authorization
• A Notion database selected for storing conversations
• Claude AI page must be open in a browser tab

Access Batch Sync

Open the extension options page by clicking the extension icon in your browser toolbar.

Step 1: Connect to Notion

Select your target Notion database from the dropdown menu. If you don’t see your database, click the refresh icon to reload the list.

Step 2: Select Content to Sync

The extension supports syncing Claude AI conversations from your chat history.

Options:

• Latest Conversations: Sync the most recent conversations
• All Conversations: Sync your entire chat history by reading all pages

Step 3: Configure Sync Settings

Skip Synced Records

Enabled (Recommended):

• Skips conversations that have already been synced
• Preserves your manual edits in Notion
• Faster sync process
• Default behavior

Disabled:

• Re-syncs all conversations in the selected range
• Overwrites existing Notion pages
• Old versions moved to trash
• Use when you need fresh copies

Sync Action

Choose what happens when a conversation already exists in Notion:

• Skip: Leave existing pages unchanged (recommended)
• Overwrite: Replace existing pages with new content
• Duplicate: Create new pages even if they already exist

Step 4: Start Sync

1. Review your configuration
2. Click “Begin Sync” button
3. Monitor the progress bar and status messages
4. Wait for sync to complete

Important: Keep the options page open during sync. Do not close the browser or navigate away.

Sync Results

After sync completes, you’ll see a summary:

• Success Count: Conversations saved successfully
• Failed Count: Conversations that failed to save
• Skipped Count: Already-synced conversations (if skip enabled)
• Direct Links: Click to view saved pages in Notion

What Gets Synced

Each synced conversation includes:

• Title: Original conversation title
• URL: Source link for de-duplication
• ConversationTime: Conversation timestamp
• Content: Fully formatted messages
• Artifacts: All artifact versions from the session
• Canvas: Canvas content as structured pages (if present)

Troubleshooting

“Claude AI page required”:

• Open https://claude.ai/ in a tab
• Refresh the page
• Reopen batch sync

“Claude AI is open, but the extension can’t connect”:

• Refresh your Claude AI tab
• Wait a few seconds
• Try again

“Could not find page with ID”:

• Database may have been deleted
• Re-authorize Notion connection
• Select a different database

Sync stops midway:

• Check internet connection
• Ensure Claude AI tab is active
• Refresh Claude AI page and retry

Some conversations failed:

• Check error details in results
• Failed items can be retried individually
• May be due to rate limits or network issues

Best Practices

1. Start small: Test with a few conversations first
2. Use skip mode: Preserves your Notion edits
3. Monitor progress: Don’t close browser during sync
4. Check results: Review sync results after completion
5. Regular backups: Schedule periodic syncs to keep your archive up to date
