Look at your data without changing it.
- Create Notion view query
Create a Notion view query and return the first page of page references.
- 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.
- Get about user
Retrieves detailed information about a specific Notion user, such as their name, avatar, and email, based on their unique user ID.
- Get Notion view query results
Get a page of results from a cached Notion view query.
- Get page markdown
Retrieve a Notion page's full content rendered as Notion-flavored Markdown in a single API call. Use when you need the readable content of a page without recursive block-children fetching.
- List Notion views
List Notion views for a database or data source.
Creates9
Add something new to your account.
- 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
- Create Notion view
Create a Notion view.
- Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified Notion database. Prerequisites: - Database must be shared with your integration - Property names AND types must match schema exactly (case-sensitive) - Use NOTION_FETCH_DATA with fetch_type='databases' first to get exact property names and types - Each database has ONE 'title' property; other text fields are 'rich_text' - Database must NOT have multiple data sources (synced databases are not supported) Common Errors: - 404: Database not shared with integration - 400 "not a property": Wrong property name - 400 "expected to be X": Wrong property type - 400 "multiple_data_sources": Database uses multiple data sources (not supported) Note: Rich text content in child_blocks is automatically truncated to 2000 characters per Notion API limits.
- Insert Row From Natural Language
Creates a new row (page) in a Notion database from a natural language description. Fetches the database schema at runtime, uses an LLM to generate the correctly-formatted property payload, and creates the page.
- Add single content block to Notion page (Deprecated)
DEPRECATED: Use 'add_multiple_page_content' for better performance. Adds a single content block to a Notion page/block. CRITICAL: Notion API enforces a HARD LIMIT of 2000 characters per text.content field. Content exceeding 2000 chars is AUTOMATICALLY SPLIT into multiple sequential blocks. REQUIRED 'content' field for text blocks: paragraph, heading_1-3, callout, to_do, toggle, quote, list items. Parent blocks MUST be: Page, Toggle, To-do, Bulleted/Numbered List Item, Callout, or Quote. Common errors: - "content.length should be ≤ 2000": Text exceeds API limit (should be auto-handled) - "Content is required for paragraph blocks": Missing 'content' field for text blocks - "object_not_found": Invalid parent_block_id or no integration access For bulk operations, use 'add_multiple_page_content' instead.
- Create Notion file upload
Tool to create a Notion FileUpload object and retrieve an upload URL. Use when you need to automate attaching local or external files directly into Notion without external hosting.
- Duplicate page
Duplicates a Notion page, including all its content, properties, and nested blocks, under a specified parent page or workspace.
Updates14
Change something that is already there.
- 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':
- Move Page
Tool to move a Notion page to a new parent (page or database). Use when you need to reorganize page hierarchy. Important: To move to a database, use data_source_id (NOT database_id). Get the data source ID from the database object using NOTION_FETCH_DATABASE.
- Send file upload
Tool to transmit file contents to Notion for a file upload object. Use after creating a file upload object to send the actual file data.
- Update database schema
Updates an existing Notion database's schema including title, description, and/or properties (columns). IMPORTANT NOTES: - At least one update (title, description, or properties) must be provided - The database must be shared with your integration - Property names are case-sensitive and must match exactly - When changing a property to 'relation' type, you MUST provide the database_id of the target database - Removing properties will permanently delete that column and its data - Use NOTION_FETCH_DATA first to get the exact property names and database structure Common errors: - 'database_id' missing: Ensure you're passing the database_id parameter (not page_id) - 'data_source_id' undefined: When changing to relation type, database_id is required in PropertySchemaUpdate - Property name mismatch: Names must match exactly including case and special characters
- Update Page
Update page properties, icon, cover, or archive status. IMPORTANT: Property names are workspace-specific and case-sensitive. Use NOTION_FETCH_ROW or NOTION_FETCH_DATABASE first to discover exact property names and valid select/status options. Common errors: - "X is not a property that exists": Discover properties with NOTION_FETCH_ROW - "Invalid status option": Check valid options with NOTION_FETCH_DATABASE - "should be defined": Wrap values: {'Field': {'type': value}} Property formats: title/rich_text use {'text': {'content': 'value'}}, select/status use {'name': 'option'}
- Upsert database rows
Tool to upsert rows in a Notion database by querying for existing rows and creating or updating them. Use when you need to sync data to Notion without creating duplicates. Each item is matched by a filter, then either created (if no match) or updated (if match found). Supports bulk operations with per-item error handling.
- Append code blocks (code, quote, equation)
Append code and technical blocks (code, quote, equation) to a Notion page. Use for: - Code snippets and programming examples (code) - Citations and highlighted quotes (quote) - Mathematical formulas and equations (equation) Supported block types: - code: Code with syntax highlighting (70+ languages including Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, etc.) - quote: Block quotes for citations - equation: LaTeX/KaTeX mathematical expressions ⚠️ Code content is limited to 2000 characters per text.content field. For longer code, split into multiple code blocks. For other block types, use specialized actions: - append_text_blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists - append_task_blocks: to-do, toggle, callout - append_media_blocks: image, video, audio, files - append_layout_blocks: divider, columns, TOC - append_table_blocks: tables
- Append layout blocks (divider, TOC, columns)
Append layout blocks (divider, TOC, breadcrumb, columns) to a Notion page. Supported types: - divider: Horizontal line separator - table_of_contents: Auto-generated from headings - breadcrumb: Page hierarchy navigation - column_list: Multi-column layout (requires 2+ columns, each with 1+ child block) For multi-column layouts, create column_list with column children in one request. Each column must contain at least 1 child block. For other blocks, use: append_text_blocks, append_task_blocks, append_code_blocks, append_media_blocks, or append_table_blocks.
- Append media blocks (image, video, audio, files)
Append media blocks (image, video, audio, file, pdf, embed, bookmark) to a Notion page. Use for: - Images and screenshots (image) - YouTube/Vimeo videos or direct video URLs (video) - Audio files and podcasts (audio) - File downloads (file) - PDF documents (pdf) - Embedded content from Twitter, Figma, CodePen, etc. (embed) - Link previews with metadata (bookmark) All media blocks require external URLs. For other block types, use specialized actions: - append_text_blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists - append_task_blocks: to-do, toggle, callout - append_code_blocks: code, quote, equation - append_layout_blocks: divider, columns, TOC - append_table_blocks: tables
- Append raw Notion blocks (advanced API)
DEPRECATED: Use NOTION_APPEND_TEXT_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_TASK_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_CODE_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_MEDIA_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_LAYOUT_BLOCKS, or NOTION_APPEND_TABLE_BLOCKS instead. Appends raw Notion API blocks to parent. Text limited to 2000 chars per text.content field. Each block MUST have 'object':'block' and 'type'. Use rich_text arrays for text blocks.
Deletes6
Remove something. This often cannot be undone.
- 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.
- Delete Notion view
Delete a Notion view.
- Delete Notion view query
Delete a cached Notion view query.
- Replace page content (with backup)
Safely replaces a page's child blocks by optionally backing up current content, deleting existing children, then appending new children in batches. Use when you need to rebuild a page without leaving partial states. Notion does not provide atomic transactions; this tool orchestrates a multi-step workflow with optional backup to reduce risk.
- Update Database Row (Page)
Updates a specific row/page within a Notion database by its page UUID (row_id). IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: This action updates INDIVIDUAL ROWS (pages) in a database, NOT the database structure. - To update a ROW/PAGE: Use THIS action with `row_id` (the page UUID) - To update DATABASE SCHEMA (columns, properties, title): Use NOTION_UPDATE_SCHEMA_DATABASE with `database_id` REQUIRED: `row_id` is MANDATORY. This is the UUID of the specific page/row to update. Do NOT pass `database_id` to this action - that parameter does not exist here. Common issues: (1) Use UUID from page URL, not the full URL (2) Ensure page is shared with integration (3) Match property names exactly as in database (4) Use 'status' type for Status properties, not 'select' (5) Retry on 409 Conflict errors (concurrent updates) Supports updating properties, icon, cover, or archiving the row.
- Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified Notion page. Limitation: Workspace-level pages (top-level pages with no parent page or database) cannot be archived via the API and must be archived manually in the Notion UI.

Triggers
These are the trigger events currently available for Notion.
- 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.
- 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.
- Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are 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 property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
- View Created
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.
