# Notion

If your processes and brand guidelines live in Notion, connect it and they can
be rules that update themselves as you edit the page.

## Connect it

**Sources → Notion → Connect.** Notion asks which pages to share with Vythos —
Vythos can only ever see what you grant there. Back in Vythos, select the pages
to sync and start the sync; progress is shown as it runs.

## What gets synced

The text of the pages you selected, into your memory. **No page becomes a rule
by being synced.**

## Making a Notion page a rule

On the Playbook page, **Add rule**, then either:

- **Paste the page link.** Copy it from Notion's *Share → Copy link*, or from
  the address bar. Both the long slug-and-id form and the short `notion.so/…`
  form work, as does a published `notion.site` link.
- **Choose from your sources → Notion**, and search your pages.

## Keeping it current

Edit the page. Within about ten minutes the rule takes the new text as its next
version, keeping the old one. Nothing to press.

## What to expect from the text

Vythos reads the page's content as text. Rich blocks flatten sensibly: headings
stay headings, lists stay lists, tables come through as rows. Before adding an
elaborate page as a rule, use **Read the document** on the Add rule card to see
what Vythos actually took.

Sub-pages are separate pages in Notion, and separate documents here. If the
rule lives on a sub-page, name that sub-page.

## Disconnecting

Disconnecting Notion removes its access **and everything it put in your
memory**, along with the record of what was synced. Rules made from Notion
pages keep working from the text last read, and say on their rows that the page
can no longer be read.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| A page can't be found when adding a rule | It probably wasn't shared with Vythos in Notion's connect dialogue. Re-run the connection and include it |
| *The Notion connection has expired* | Reconnect Notion in Sources; rules start following their pages again at the next check |
| The rule text is missing part of the page | Check for sub-pages or synced blocks — they're separate pages, and each is its own document |
