Step 1: Generate a Harvest Personal Access Token
Before you can import Harvest data into Notion, you need to create a Personal Access Token. This token acts as your secure key to access Harvest's API data.
First, navigate to https://id.getharvest.com/developers in your browser and log in to your Harvest account. On the Harvest Developers page, click Create New Personal Access Token to generate your API credentials.

Give your token a descriptive name (e.g., "Note API Connector") and click Create personal access token.

Copy both your Token and Account ID. You'll need both for the API connection.

💡 Keep your token secure and don't share it publicly. This gives access to your Harvest data.
✅ Done! You now have your Harvest Personal Access Token and Account ID.
Step 2: Import Harvest Time Entries into Notion
Now, import Harvest data into Notion with Note API Connector to centralize your time tracking records.
(Optional) If you're curious what's available, browse the Harvest API documentation. We'll start with time entries using the endpoint:
Set up a Notion database where you want to store your Harvest data.

Step 3: Configure Authentication
Open Note API Connector and click Create request . Name your request (e.g., Harvest Time Entries ). Select the Notion database where you want to import the data.
Now you need to configure the authentication using your Harvest Personal Access Token. In the Authorization section, select Bearer Token and paste your Harvest Personal Access Token.

In the Headers section, add header required by Harvest API:
- Harvest-Account-Id: Your Account ID from Step 1

Paste the API URL into the URL field.
https://api.harvestapp.com/v2/time_entries
Click Run to fetch a preview of your Harvest time entries.

You’ll see your Harvest time entries displayed. Use Response Field Mapping view to choose which fields (e.g., hours, notes, projects) you want to sync into Notion.

Finally, click Save & Import to store the time entry data in your Notion database. ✅ Done! You've successfully imported Harvest data to Notion.

Set it to refresh hourly, daily, or at custom intervals , so you never have to worry about outdated time tracking data again. Whether you're a freelancer tracking billable hours or a team lead managing project timelines, automated synchronization lets you focus on your work while your data stays current.
