Set up Coda
Connect Coda to make your docs searchable — every page of every doc the token can see becomes a document. Read-only.
Before you start
- In Coda, open your account settings → API settings → Generate API token and copy it right away.
- The token reads exactly what its owner can read — sharing a doc with the token's owner is what brings it into the sync. Only reads and page exports are ever issued.
- Documents → Coda, paste the token into API token.
- Optionally paste doc links or IDs into Docs, one per line, to sync only those docs; blank syncs every doc the token's owner can see.
- Choose access groups, Test, then Sync.
What comes in
- Each visible page of each doc becomes one document, titled “Doc name › Page name”, exported as Markdown with its tables rendered inline.
- Hidden pages are left out, and so are pages that are not a plain canvas — an embed page, for instance, carries nothing of its own to read.
| Docs | Optional doc links or IDs, one per line. Paste the link straight from the browser — only those docs sync. Blank syncs every doc the token can see. |

Access
Each doc's own sharing is mirrored automatically to its pages: the people (or the whole domain, for a domain-wide share) the doc is shared with become its viewers here too. A doc whose sharing can't be read keeps the access groups chosen on the source instead. Allow-only throughout. Switch How access works to “One list for everything” under Permissions to put everything this source brings in under the chosen access groups instead.
A page's export is asynchronous on Coda's side — this connector polls briefly after a change and picks the page up on the next sync if the export hasn't finished. The sync is capped at 100 docs and 2,000 pages; docs or pages past the cap are held, not deleted, from what's already searchable.
