MindMap connects directly to your private Notion workspace. The setup takes about 2 minutes and you only have to do it once.

Step 1: Create the Integration (The Key)

1. Go to Notion My Integrations (make sure you are logged in).
2. Click + New integration.
3. Name: Call it "MindMap".
4. Type: Select "Internal" (this keeps it private).
5. Click Submit.
6. 👀 Copy the "Internal Integration Secret". It starts with secret_.... You will need to paste this into the extension settings.

Step 2: Prepare Your Database

1. Create a new Database in Notion (or use an existing one).
2. You MUST rename the columns to match these exactly (Case Sensitive):
   • Rename the Title column to: Concept
   • Rename the Tags/Text column to: Context (Type: Text or Rich Text)
   • Add a new property: URL (Type: URL)
   • Add a new property: Date (Type: Date)

Step 3: Connect Them (Crucial!)

⚠️ Most users forget this step! If you skip this, the extension won't work.

1. Go to your Database page.
2. Click the ... (three dots) at the very top-right of the Notion window.
3. Scroll down to Connections (or "Add connections").
4. Search for "MindMap" (the name you gave in Step 1) and click Confirm.

Step 4: Get Your Database ID

To find your Database ID, look at the URL of your Notion page in your browser.

If you use the Notion Desktop App: Click "Share" (top right) → "Copy Link" and paste it into a notepad to see the URL.
