Notoma loads configuration via environment variables, or an .env file. The easiest way to configure Notoma is to take a look at the [.env.sample file in the repository,](https://github.com/xnutsive/notoma/blob/master/.env.sample) and tweak it to your liking.

NOTOMA_NOTION_TOKEN_V2 = your_secret_notion_cookie_token_v2
NOTOMA_NOTION_BLOG_URL = <https://www.notion.so/respawn/7b46cea379bd4d45b68860c2fa35a2d4?v=b4609f6aae0d4fc1adc65a73f72d0e21>

# If your blog database doesn't have the layout property, Notoma will use the default layout. 
NOTOMA_DEFAULT_LAYOUT = default 

# Permalink patttern to use for @links in your Notion pages.
NOTOMA_PERMALINK_PATTERN = <https://$baseurl/$title/>

# Base URL to use when assembling @links
NOTOMA_BASE_URL = xnutsive.notoma.io

Supported permalink substitutions

{: .mt-8 }

Note: the permalink format must match whatever format you're using in your blog engine. It's on you to set and make sure the format matches. If they don't match, the @links won't work, and you'll likely see some 404 pages.

When Notoma processes @links, it'll try to build a link by taking NOTOMA_PERMALINK_PATTERN from the config, and substituting it's parts:

• Notoma will use all the keys from the front matter that are available. That means you can use any Notion property you add in your URLS, as long as it's a string.
• Notoma will automatically slugify title for you the same way it does for file names.
• Notoma will automatically add year, month and day to the substitutions mapping, although they're numeric and the date formatting in permalinks is not currently supported.
