Notion Update Page Action

I’m working with some of the Notion actions, but when I select the Update Page action and define a page ID, I don’t see any of the Page properties associated with that page, so the “Update” function of the Update Page action doesn’t really provide much value. Is the Update Page action purposefully not displaying the Page properties or is there an issue with the action and it should be displaying the Page properties? Having an Update Page action that doesn’t provide the ability to easily update any of the Page properties doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, so I figured I reach out and ask.

I have been able to use the Custom Notion action to make the PATCH request to update a page and its properties, but I was hoping that I would be able to perform the updates in a cleaner fashion using the Update Page action.

Hey @tully, thanks for asking, that’s a great point!

We are currently working on an update for this action, you can subscribe and receive notifications here: [Enhancement] Notion Actions should render dynamic props based on the page ID · Issue #2836 · PipedreamHQ/pipedream · GitHub

@andrewcturing Thanks for the update. I just checked the Notion Update Page action and it looks like this has already been pushed out!!! Very cool.

As an additional follow-up, are there plans to support this same type of feature for the Create Page action? Once the Parent Database ID is defined, then all of the properties specific to the Parent database would then show up within the action and have the ability to be mapped to?

Yes! We should have done that additional work at the same time, but I just added that further improvement to the team’s backlog here: [ACTION] Update additional Notion actions to use additionalProps · Issue #2930 · PipedreamHQ/pipedream · GitHub

Sounds great, @danny. Appreciate it!

Hello, I have the same exact problem as @tully when trying to update my Notion Page.

I used the retrieve page step and then I was able to get the Notion page id ({{steps.retrieve_page.$return_value.id}}) in the result but when I add it to the PageId in Update Page step, I could not access the categories of the Page and so was not able to change the property I wanted to change.

Please help or advise

Julie
