Delete Multiples Properties in Notion

Hello community.
A while ago I got into trouble with Notion, creating a poorly configured relationship between two databases that, as a result, created more than 900 properties in the databases.
Notion does not allow deleting them in batches, I have to manually delete them one by one. Each click has a delay due to the weight of the information.
And I ended up discovering Zapier due to a recommendation from an AI that advised me to use automation to solve the problem. Unfortunately, this same AI did not give me a good tutorial on how to proceed.

I ask you to give me this strength.
My PC is modest and these properties are the reason for a slowdown that is eating away at my health in my work routine.

There are more than 900 properties.
The good news, I think, is that they all start with: relacionado a proposta’ (in Portuguese)

Hi ​@Nantes,

 

Welcome to the Community. 

 

Zapier's integration with Notion supports creating, updating, and retrieving database items but does not allow for deleting properties. To manage excess properties, contacting Notion Support may provide a more effective solution. While Zapier can't directly resolve this, Notion's backend tools might help maintain a clean and efficient database.

 

I hope this helps! If you have further questions, feel free to ask us, and I'd be happy to assist further.

Hi ​@Nantes 👋

I just came across this and spotted that we’ve got an existing feature request for a “Delete Item” type of action to be added to the Notion app on Zapier. So I’ve gone ahead and added your vote to that feature request. While I can’t guarantee if or when this will be added, we’ll be sure to notify you via email if it becomes available!

In the meantime, you could use Notion’s API Request action delete them? Looking at Notion;s API is seems it’s possible to trash a page or delete a block but there’s no API endpoint available to delete a database property—but it is possible to update database properties not sure if that would work for your needs? It’s a bit more advanced as you’d need to reference Notion’s API documentation but we have a more general guide on how to set up that kind of action here: Set up an API request action.

Hope that helps. If you give it a try and run into any issues in setting it up or have any further questions at all just let us know! 🙂
