Let’s say I want to write my tweets in a notion database and publish them to twitter automatically.
If I write the text of my tweet inside my notion page content, there is no way to retrieve it in zapier. I have an 1. Object Page as show in
In the end the only thing that can be accessed are the database properties and not the page content, so I ended up creating a property called “text” and then added my tweet text in it, but it’s not really beautiful.
It would be cool to have the possibility to access the text that is inside a page and not having to add a property.

Notion New Item in Database trigger doesn't include content of the page

Hi all,
Just circling back in here with a belated update to share that the feature request has been implemented! 🎉
In case you missed the email notification that was sent out, here’s the key information from it:
We have enhanced the integration to pull the top level of block data from the items that are returned and format it as Markdown, which should cover many cases. This data is presented in all the triggers, actions, and searches that deal with pages and database items.
In some cases, data is nested within deeper blocks. In these instances, we return the data in a list called "Unsupported Blocks" and these can be used within the "Retreive Block Children" search to find deeper nested content. This happens in the case of items like sub-pages and tables, which are not presented to us within the first API call. Because this block data can be arbitrarily nested, we only make one call to get the first level.
If you run into any issues with these changes please let us know in the Community or reach out to our Support team directly and we’ll be happy to assist.
In the meantime, happy Zapping! ⚡

Hi there
So sorry for the delay in a response here. I’ve added everyone’s vote to the feature request which helps to increase it’s priority, but I can’t make any promises as to when it would get implemented.
If we come across any workarounds for how to access the content in the meantime we’ll be sure to share them here.
Hi @SamB
Even if its unlikely to happens since its been a year, can you please add me to the “list of people to update when it comes out” ?
Thank you

Sure thing
Add me please, I’m just trying to send the body/content of a page to OneNote. The weird thing is that Zapier shows in YouTube videos that it’s possible, but it’s not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ERGlQLoBwI&ab_channel=ZapierAcademy

Thanks for letting us know,
I’ve added you to the list of folks interested in being able to access the page content from Notion. I can’t make any promises around when or if it would become available but we’ll be sure to email you once it is.
I am also interested in this feature. Please expedite

We would also like Notion page content to be retrieved with Zapier.
This might require more consideration given that Notion’s page content consists of block objects for text and images etc. The Notion API is detailed but unsure how page content formatting might be parsed by Zapier.
Maybe a Zapier product manager or developer might want to explain when and how this could be implemented?

Hi
I’ve added you both to the list of users interested in this which will help to increase it’s priority and allow us to notify you both by email as soon as it’s sorted.
I totally get how crucial this for your workflows and wish I had better news to share at this time, but no updates are available at present. In the meantime, if Notion allows you to set up webhook that would send the desired page content over via a webhook you might be able to use a Webhooks by Zapier trigger for your Zaps instead. It’s a more advanced feature so would require a paid plan but thought it worth suggesting just in case. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in exploring you can find out more here: Trigger Zaps from webhooks.
Hope that helps. 🙂

Hi
Of course! Happy to confirm that you’ve been added to the list as well. As ever, we can’t provide an ETA on when it will be sorted but you can expect an email notification from us just as soon as the missing Notion page content becomes available to use in your Zaps. 🙂

Hey there
I’ve spent about 2 hours experimenting with this - I simply assumed it must be possible!
Add me to the growing list, please,
Thanks

In my case, I specifically want to copy the content of one database item into the content of an item in a different database.
Thanks
