Notion to ArcGIS
Export a Notion location database to ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro with GeoJSON, KML, and CSV
Free • No credit card required • Updated
ArcGIS teams often receive location lists from people who do not work in GIS every day. Notion is a practical place to collect site notes, field observations, partner locations, and project metadata, but ArcGIS needs standard geographic data before it can analyze or publish it.
NotionToMaps bridges that handoff with GeoJSON, KML, and CSV generated from Notion Place properties. Use a stable GeoJSON URL in ArcGIS Online, load the data into ArcGIS Pro, or publish it as a hosted layer when that is the right workflow for your organization.

GeoJSON URLs
ArcGIS Online can add a GeoJSON file from a web URL, referencing the file rather than copying it into the item

How It Works
Add Place Properties in Notion
Store each feature location with the attributes your ArcGIS users need to analyze or display.
Get the GeoJSON URL
Create a NotionToMaps export and copy the stable GeoJSON endpoint for the database.
Add It in ArcGIS
In ArcGIS Online, add a new item from URL and choose GeoJSON, or download the file for ArcGIS Pro.
Style and Share
Use Notion attributes for symbols, popups, filters, dashboards, or a hosted feature layer workflow.

What is GEOJSON?
Notion to ArcGIS is a workflow for moving a collaborative Notion location database into ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro. It is useful when non-GIS colleagues maintain the data and a GIS team needs it as standard spatial features with attributes.
Compatible Apps
Use Cases
What You Can Do
Field Sites
Move survey, inspection, monitoring, or research locations from Notion into an ArcGIS project.
Public Web Maps
Use a maintained Notion dataset as the source for a shareable ArcGIS map or app.
Partner and Facility Data
Map offices, assets, community partners, and service points with their Notion metadata.
Collaborative Data Intake
Let non-GIS teams update a structured Notion database while GIS specialists consume portable outputs.
Benefits
Why Export to GEOJSON?
Open Data Handoff
Move locations from Notion to ArcGIS through standard GeoJSON, KML, or CSV instead of manual coordinate cleanup.
Collaborative Intake
Let project teams contribute structured locations in Notion before GIS specialists process them.
Attribute-Rich Features
Carry notes, statuses, categories, and other Notion properties with each mapped point.
Choice of Workflow
Reference a live GeoJSON URL, download a snapshot, or publish a hosted layer in ArcGIS.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can ArcGIS Online read GeoJSON from a URL?
Yes. ArcGIS Online documents GeoJSON as a supported web resource type when adding an item from a URL. Use the stable NotionToMaps GeoJSON endpoint as that source.
Does ArcGIS require a particular coordinate system for GeoJSON?
ArcGIS Online expects GeoJSON in WGS 84 decimal degrees. NotionToMaps exports standard longitude-latitude coordinates suitable for that workflow.
Can I turn the GeoJSON into a hosted feature layer?
Yes, ArcGIS Online supports creating a hosted feature layer from GeoJSON. Choose that option when you need ArcGIS-hosted editing, sharing controls, or downstream ArcGIS services.
Will every Notion property be available in ArcGIS?
NotionToMaps includes supported properties with the exported feature data. Review field names and types after import, especially if your organization has a strict ArcGIS schema.
Is this a replacement for ArcGIS data management?
No. It is a bridge from a collaborative Notion database to ArcGIS. Use ArcGIS for authoritative GIS editing, analysis, governance, and publishing workflows.
