Notion ACTION
Append Block to Parent
Append Markdown content to the bottom of a Notion page (or block). The
content is parsed from Markdown into Notion blocks — use it to add paragraphs, headings, bullet/numbered lists, to-dos, quotes, code, etc. Provide the page ID or URL (use Search to resolve a page name into an ID). To change a database row's property values instead, use Update Page. See the documentation- Action

projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "notion-append-block",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
notion: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
pageId: "Page ID or URL",
content: "Content",
},
})
