Troubleshooting

No pages showing up after connecting

Make sure you've explicitly shared pages with the integration as described in the Sharing Pages section.

Summary failed to generate

This could be due to several reasons:

  • The page might be too large or complex
  • The page might contain unsupported content types
  • There might be temporary issues with our AI service

Try again later or with a different page. If the problem persists, contact support.

  1. Go to your Dashboard
  2. Click "Disconnect Notion"
  3. Then click "Connect Notion" to reconnect

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I summarize any type of Notion page?

Our system works best with text-based Notion pages. While we support basic formatting, tables, and lists, some complex elements like embedded files may not be included in the summary.

How long does it take to generate a summary?

Most summaries are generated within 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the length and complexity of the page.

Is there a limit to how many summaries I can create?

There are no strict limits, but we encourage responsible usage. For extremely high-volume needs, please contact us.

How are my summaries stored?

Summaries are stored securely in our database and are only accessible to you. We do not share your summaries with third parties.

Can I edit a summary after it's generated?

Currently, we don't support editing summaries. However, you can regenerate a summary if you need a different version.

Can I disconnect my Notion account?

Yes, you can disconnect your Notion account at any time from your dashboard. This will revoke our access to your Notion pages.
