Importing Data
Bring an existing knowledge base into Sophic with a one-time import. Imports run as background jobs — after you start one, Sophic redirects you to a job page where you can watch progress.
Open the Import dialog from Settings → Workspace in the dashboard. Importing requires an admin or owner role. Four sources are supported.
Obsidian
Drag in a .zip of your vault (≤ 100 MB), or click to browse. Sophic uploads the archive, then imports your notes as documents.
Notion
- In Notion, go to Settings → Integrations → Develop your own → New integration and copy the internal integration token.
- Share the pages or databases you want with that integration.
- Paste the token into the Notion panel. Optionally list specific database IDs to limit the scope — leave blank to import everything the integration can see.
Confluence
Provide your Atlassian Cloud credentials:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Site URL | https://your-team.atlassian.net |
| your Atlassian account email | |
| API token | an Atlassian API token |
| Space keys (optional) | ENG,DESIGN — leave blank to import all spaces |
Sophic JSON

After importing
Imported content flows through the same pipeline as everything else — it lands in the capture buffer (for the job-based sources) and is organized into documents you can search, browse, and expose to agents.
