Hola, Hace mucho quiero realizar un zap que permita guardar un archivo que suba en una carpeta de Google drive en Notion, pero no funciona, solo coloca un enlace. ¿Alguien sabe qué se puede hacer?

Hello, I've been wanting to do a zap for a long time that allows me to save a file that I upload to a Google drive folder in Notion, but it doesn't work, it just places a link. Does anyone know what can be done?

Hi @Daniel Manotas 

 

As per Notion API Documentation, they do not support uploading files via API

 

** Externally hosted files vs. Files hosted by Notion **

For files and URLs hosted outside of Notion, we support retrieving the link as well as updating it to a different link. We don't currently support uploading files to Notion through the API, however, for files already uploaded to Notion, we support retrieving the file URL. The table below details what's supported for Embed, Image, Video, Audio, and File blocks, as well as page icon and page cover image properties.

 

Please check Notion API for more details
