In the case of some properties, Sunsama will infer dropdown options. Due to technical reasons, Sunsama will not always display the property information correctly. If you see any inconsistencies in your selection options, you can repair them using the Fix Options menu.

Toggle the "Hiding/Showing previously imported tasks" button in the filter options to hide or display tasks in the Notion panel that you have already imported into your Sunsama task list.

Sorts · 4:22

Click on the Sort button to select a property by which to sort the order of the tasks in the Notion panel. You can then click on the small triangle next to that property to toggle if the order should be ascending or descending.

Importing tasks · 5:48

When you are ready to import a certain Notion task, you can pull it into your plan in Sunsama. There are three ways to do this:

• Drag and drop the task from the Notion panel into your Sunsama task list.
• To timebox the task directly, switch to calendar view (keyboard shortcut tab) and drag and drop the Notion task directly onto your Sunsama calendar at the time you plan to work on it. This will add the task to that day in Sunsama and create a working session on your calendar.
• Click on the task in the Notion panel and click “Add to today” or select a specific date for the task.
