Explain the problem as you see it
Notes captured with Readwise can be exported to Notion, Roam etc but not Tana
Why is this a problem for you?
Readwise is the primary reading and note capture tool.
Suggest a solution
Establish a connection to Readwise to auto export highlights and notes to Tana.

I'm very much +1 on this or +1000 if possible :)
It is kinda a showstopper for switching my PKM to Tana
These are some options until there's an official solution:
If you use Raycast, there's Readwise to Tana.
Tools for Tana's web based Readwise importer
Readwise importer is a great solution for me at the moment. I've not tried the Raycast option.
This is absolutely huge for me. Tana clearly is the future and I love what I'm seeing, but Readwise is an absolutely essential component for me and I've seen enough bad experiences with the unofficial/interim solutions that then leave behind a lot of clutter when the official integrations come into play (e.g. Logseq) so, for the sake of stability and consistency, I only feel comfortable making my migration when there is official support from Readwise and Tana.
This is the one and only thing that is preventing me from making Tana my core life app.
Readwise does have a clearly documented API so I would love to see the Tana folks spend the effort to provide this integration. https://readwise.io/api_deets
Love what you're all doing here.
Does anyone know if theres a "Readwise to Tana" equivalent for Alfred?
I'd love to see this too, it's one of a few key reasons why I'm keeping a lot of my workflow in Roam instead of moving it all to Tana.
Absolutely huge for me. One of the most useful workflows I have in Notion today. I would love to see this on Tana.
What about Omnivore?
+1000 to this one, I've just started migrating over from Notion to Tana (gave up on obsidian) but the readwise integration thing is a big one for me too as its such an essential part of my PKM process . . . had a quick look at the interim solutions but still felt clunky so am keeping readwise separate for now

I would suggest to broaden the idea here.
What I would look for is an abstraction that would allow us to bring in objects from outside Tana in a “managed” supertag. One example is a Readwise integration, which could fully sync (two-way) with the Readwise API. I just don't see why it should be limited to Readwise. The same abstraction is useful for todo lists like Todoist, for calendar entries say on Google Calendar, for encrypted notes stored elsewhere. The possibilities are truly endless.
For me, what resonated with Tana is the treatment of queries as “first class citizens”. I'm hopeful data integrations to Readwise, Todoist, Google Calendar, etc., could be too!
Even better would work for me: Kindle integration. This is the only feature I use Readwise for, so I would prefer my Kindle highlights to be imported directly into Tana.
Just adding a +1 here. I think it's important to recognize that many, many prospective Tana users will see Readwise and Kindle capabilities as table stakes and won't consider it if they can't get it. (And the same likely applies to an easier import experience from any notetaking platform.)
Really surprised this still does not exist.
there is any demo to show how to use Readwise export ?
I've tried to paste in the API token but it don't want to save it and connect me. Guess it's less than Beta... still very hopefully now
Hi Lin!
A bit of a slip here, we're working close with the Readwise team to get an excellent integration in place. Watch this space!
Is there any way to sync meta data such as WHEN the highlight was created.
Now I just get a library of all the books I've read. With no real way to search or filter them.
Hi all,
I was using Tools for Tana to import my Readwise highlights and decided to try the official import connection. There is one feature that is missing that I love with the Tools for Tana: Cover Image (huge one for the looks of my library). Plans on adding that feature?
