Settings
| Field | Meaning | Area |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Choices: Search pages, Read page, Create page, Append content, Update page, Write comment | Standard |
| Search term | Configure this value in the node panel. | Standard |
| Count (max. 100) | Configure this value in the node panel. | Standard |
| Fetch all results | Fetches more result pages, up to 1000 results. | Standard |
| Next page marker | Picks up where the last fetch left off. Use the next page marker from the previous step. | Standard |
| Page | Link or ID of the page. The ID is at the end of the Notion URL. | Standard |
| New page goes in | Choices: A page, A database | Standard |
| Parent page or database | Link or ID of the page or database the new page is created under. | Standard |
| Data source | Only if the new page goes into a database that has several data sources. Otherwise leave it empty. | Standard |
| Title | Configure this value in the node panel. | Standard |
| Fields | Column and new value, e.g. Status and Done. When creating, only if the new page goes into a database. Under a page, the step otherwise stops with a notice instead of dropping the values. | Standard |
| Trash | Choices: Don't change, Move to trash, Restore from trash | Standard |
| Content | The text of the page. Markdown is supported (e.g. # for headings). | Standard |
| Comment | Configure this value in the node panel. | Standard |
| Run once per item | Off (default): the node runs once for the whole input. On: if it receives several items (e.g. from Split Out), it runs once PER item, and {{ $json }} is that one item each time. This is how you work through a file list entry by entry. | Standard |
| If one item fails | "Skip" writes an `error` field for the failed item and keeps processing the rest, instead of losing the whole run to a single unreadable file. | Standard |
| Pause between items (milliseconds) | Wait before every run except the first. 1000 = 1 second per item. Useful when the other side would otherwise throttle you. Maximum 300000 (5 minutes). | Standard |
Inputs and outputs
| Input | Meaning | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Receives the complete result from the previous step. | JSON |
| Output | Meaning | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Makes the result available to the next step as JSON. | JSON |
This node can process lists item by item. Error handling and the delay between items are available in advanced settings.
Example and test run
Create weekly report in Notion: begin with a small, recognizable record. Inspect the output and only map fields that are present there.
Test-run example
{
"title": "Wochenbericht {{ $json.date }}",
"content": "## Highlights\n\n{{ $json.summary }}"
}Access and security
The node works with your own connected Notion account. It only sees and changes what this account is allowed to. Check the permissions shown when you connect. The matching area (Pages, Databases) must also be switched on in the settings of your Notion connection under Connectors. All areas are on by default.
"Allowed actions" in the settings of your Notion connection under Connectors also applies to this node and is checked on every run. With "Read only" or "Read and draft", only the read actions run: Search pages, Read page. These actions need "Allow changes": Create page, Append content, Update page, Write comment.
Keys and credentials belong in Workflow Secrets or your connected accounts. Never paste them as plain text into workflow fields, test data or descriptions.
Troubleshooting
- No output: inspect the latest run and confirm that the previous node returned the expected fields.
- Empty variable: open the previous step output and use a field name from the real test data.
- Connection rejected: reconnect the service and grant the permissions required by this step.
- Action blocked: set "Allowed actions" of the connection under Connectors to "Allow changes", or pick a read action.
- List processed once: enable per-item execution in advanced settings.
