How do I export an AI chat to Notion with Pactify?
Updated Sep 22, 2026
Export to Notion is a one-shot document from Export AI Conversation—not Sync. Click Export in the top-right header (Badge → Sync → Export), choose Format → Markdown or Doc (not PDF), destination Notion (“Export to Notion workspace”). If Notion is grayed out, use Authorize with Notion to enable. Click Export and wait for conversion. Prefer Sync → Sync & Enable Auto-Sync when you want a living Conversations database row plus Sidepanel Chats.
Steps
- Authorize Notion if neededIf Notion is disabled, follow Authorize with Notion to enable (or finish Connect Notion /setup).
- Click Export (top-right)On the AI chat, click Export in the top-right header (Badge → Sync → Export). Dialog: Export AI Conversation.
- Format → Markdown or DocPDF cannot go to Notion—PDF only offers Print / Save as PDF.
- Destination → Notion, then ExportSelect Notion and click Export. This does not enable Auto-Sync or create a
Pactify ConversationsSync row the same way Sync does.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between Export to Notion and syncing ChatGPT to Notion?
Export creates/sends a document once via Export AI Conversation. Sync opens Sync to Notion, uses Sync & Enable Auto-Sync, writes the Conversations database, supports Auto-Sync/Bulk, and indexes Sidepanel Chats.
Do I need Starter to export a chat to Notion?
No for Export itself—Free can Export to Notion within the monthly export quota (Markdown Download / PDF stay unlimited). You still need Notion authorize. Distill Context is separate and Starter.
