Quip Considerations

  • Due to limitations from their API, deleting documents from Quip will not delete them from Onna. However, any modifications to Quip documents will be applied to Onna.

  • Quip's formatting exists mainly within their platform. We try our best to replicate it but in some cases may not get an exact match.

  • We do not receive content from the following App styles on Quip:

  • Kanban

  • Calendar

  • Project Tracker

  • Process Bar

  • Poll

  • Countdown

However, any content that is written directly to the page, such as text, titles or comments (for instance - comments made on a Kanban card) we do collect as it falls under their API. We also collect the document's metadata.

Quip Requirements

  • In order to collect from Quip you must have an ‘Access token’. If you use the link in Onna’s UI to Quip to create a new access token, please know that it will invalidate any previous access tokens.

How to Connect and Collect Using Quip

To create a new Quip collection follow the steps below:

Step 1

Click on ‘Workspaces’ in the main menu (a), then click on the workspace where you’d like to add a new sync (b).

Step 2

Click on the ‘+’ icon in the upper right corner to add a new source.

Step 3

Select the Quip connector from your list of available connectors.

Step 4

Enter a name for your new source in the ‘Name’ field (a). Then, enter your Access Token (b). Finally, click ‘Configure’ (c).

Step 5

You’ll now select the elements you want to include in your sync (a). Then, select your synchronization mode (b) and set your sync start and/or end date (c). Finally, click the blue ‘Next’ button (d).

Step 6

Select the folders you want to include in your sync (a). If you want to sync future content (not available with one-time syncs), put a check in th ebox next to ‘Sync any folder created in the future’ (b). Then, click the blue ‘Done’ button (c).

Step 7

You’ll now see your new source appear alphabetically in the list of ‘Connected sources’ in your workspace.
