Hi all,
I’m running a notion action step.
The event I’m triggering is “Create New Database Item” For content, is there a way to plug-in an existing template I made on Notion & plug-in variables into that template?
Thanks!

Hi
Good question.
If the ability to select an existing template is not available, then you may have to explore using the Notion API.
Try using this Zap action: Notion - App Extensions
This has an AI assist.

Really Helpful! Thanks
Might be best to post your own topic with screenshots to provide more context about your steps and configuration.
that’s fair thank you! TLDR, i kept getting “invalid JSON” from Notion’s API in my test but finally got it working by adding

in the body. not very well documented by Notion!
That's an amazing news
Happy Zapping!
'The Notion API doesn't support applying database templates to new pages.'
i used a combination of the `content` field in the “Create Database Item in Notion” step, plus 2 custom actions. the custom actions each create one block on the Notion page created in step 4; through this combination i effectively get a templated page.
