Notion

storage.notion Storage v0.1.0

Works with Notion: create a page (in a database or under a page), get or update a page's properties, query a database (filter/sorts, cursor pagination), or append blocks to a page. Uses a Notion OAuth2 credential or a pasted internal-integration token. Array-native: a list on the wire is N records, so create/get/update page run once per record (Properties, Page ID and Database ID resolved against THAT record) and return one page per record — Notion exposes no batch page API, so N records is N calls by construction. A single object in returns a single result, un-wrapped; an empty list creates nothing. Query database is a query, and append blocks varies on nothing per record (running it per item would duplicate the page's content), so neither fans out.

Finding it in the library

Search the builder's node library for Notion (it lives under Storage). A single click opens the in-editor docs panel shown here — description, ports, and every property, without leaving the canvas. Double-click (or drag) to add it to the workflow.

Wired up in the builder

Notion in a real, runnable flow — captured live from the Studio editor, exactly as it looks on your canvas. This is the same workflow used for the example input & output below.

How it’s configured

The node’s settings as the builder shows them — every field laid out with real values. In the Studio these are edited on the node: click the chevron on the divider under its ports to open them.

Ports

Ports are the node’s contract with its neighbours. In the editor a port label renders bold when wired and italic when optional; ports accept attachment carriers rather than data wires.

How data flows through it

Notion consumes the content of the incoming envelope — when it is fed directly by a trigger, the trigger’s wrapper is unwrapped at the node boundary so the node sees the actual data, not the metadata shell. Its output becomes the payload for the next node, while the envelope (trace ids, correlation, binary refs) rides along untouched. In the Runs view you always see the whole envelope for both sides of this node.

Expressions in the config

String-typed properties accept {{ }} expressions evaluated against the incoming item at run time — e.g. {{ $json.customer.email }}. On this node that’s accessToken, parentId, pageId, blockId, databaseId, notionVersion, baseUrl. JSON- and code-typed fields never interpolate — they are passed through literally.

Build it with AI

Every node in this reference is reachable through Flowdrome’s AI Copilot and the MCP tools — say what you want, and the graph surgery happens server-side. Node types resolve fuzzily, so the catalog label (Notion) works as well as the exact type id (storage.notion).

In the Copilot panel (or any connected AI):

add a notion node after the trigger

As a step in a create_chain_workflow call:

{"type":"Notion","config":{}}
Raw MCP call — add this node to a workflow with add_node
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:4800/mcp -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "1", "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "add_node", "arguments": { "workflowId": "<id>", "type": "Notion" } } }'

Example input & output

Captured from a real test run of the workflow above — this is what the Runs view shows after pressing Test workflow.
