Import CSV Contacts to Notion Database

Tools that fit

Watch out for

• ⚠ Notion API has strict rate limits so add exponential backoff logic to handle batch insertions gracefully.
• ⚠ CSV files often contain hidden whitespace or special characters, so trim all string values before sending them to the database.
• ⚠ Email validation is critical because Notion will reject invalid email formats, so add a regex check to filter out bad addresses.
• ⚠ The Google Drive trigger may fire on file edits rather than just new uploads, so configure it to only watch for newly created files.
