Notion

Workspace for pages, databases, notes, tasks, comments, and structured team knowledge.

Handles workspace content such as pages, database records, comments, file uploads, and updates inside shared knowledge systems.

Example Use Cases

These are the Notion actions Snow can use when building apps with you. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)

Bulk-add content blocks to Notion. Text >2000 chars auto-splits. Parses markdown formatting. ⚠️ PARENT BLOCK TYPES: Content is added AS CHILDREN of parent_block_id. - To add content AFTER a heading, use PAGE ID as parent + heading ID in 'after' param. - Headings CANNOT have children unless is_toggleable=True. Simplified format: {'content': 'text', 'block_property': 'paragraph'} Full format for code: {'type': 'code', 'code': {'rich_text':

Create comment

Adds a comment to a Notion page (via `parent_page_id`) OR to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion_id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).

Create Notion Database

Creates a new Notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema. IMPORTANT NOTES: - The parent page MUST be shared with your integration, otherwise you'll get a 404 error - If you encounter conflict errors (409), retry the request as Notion may experience temporary save conflicts - For relation properties, you MUST provide the database_id of the related database - Parent ID must be a valid UUID format (with or without hyphens), not a template variable Use this action exclusively for creating new databases.

Create Notion page

Creates a new page in a Notion workspace under a specified parent page or database. Supports creating pages with markdown content using the native markdown parameter, or as an empty page that can be populated later. PREREQUISITES: - Parent page/database must exist and be accessible in your Notion workspace - Use search_pages or list_databases first to obtain valid parent IDs LIMITATIONS: - Cannot create root-level pages (must have a parent) - May encounter conflicts if creating pages too quickly - Title-based parent search is less reliable than using UUIDs - The markdown parameter is mutually exclusive with children/content parameters

Delete a block

Archives a Notion block, page, or database using its ID, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "Trash" in the UI) and allows it to be restored later. Note: This operation will fail if the block has an archived parent or ancestor in the hierarchy. You must unarchive the ancestor before archiving/deleting its descendants. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: Workspace-level pages (top-level pages that are direct children of the workspace, not contained within other pages or databases) cannot be archived via the Notion API. This is a documented Notion API restriction. Only pages that are children of other pages or databases can be deleted through this action.

Fetch All Notion Block Contents

Tool to fetch all child blocks for a given Notion block. Use when you need a complete listing of a block's children beyond a single page; supports optional recursive expansion of nested blocks.

Fetch comments

Fetches unresolved comments for a specified Notion block or page ID. The block/page must be shared with your Notion integration and the integration must have 'Read comments' capability enabled, otherwise a 404 error will be returned.

Fetch Database

Fetches a Notion database's structural metadata (properties, title, etc.) via its `database_id`, not the data entries; `database_id` must reference an existing database.

Fetch database row

Retrieves a Notion database row's properties and metadata; use fetch_block_contents for page content blocks.

Fetch Notion Block Children

Retrieves a paginated list of direct, first-level child block objects along with contents for a given parent Notion block or page ID; use block IDs from the response for subsequent calls to access deeply nested content.

Triggers

These are the trigger events currently available for Notion.

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties:

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

Page Content Updated

Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).

Page Created

Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.
