Hi,

I am also interested and would like to receive updates related to this feature. Thanks!

 

 

Hi, we’re using Notion to define Product requirements and ideally the content/body would be taken into the JIRA issues description.

 

When is this going to be available?

Hi @ktron, @Aran Khanna, @SethG, @zntl, @BeeAd and @m_ocra 👋

I’ve just checked on that bug report and there’s still no updates on this unfortunately. I’ve added you all to the bug report so we’ll definitely be in touch via email as soon as it’s been resolved.

Thanks for everyone’s continued patience here. I really wish I could give a some sort of rough estimate as to when you can expect a resolution to be in place.

In the meantime, there’s now an API Request (Beta) action for Notion which may work better than the Webhooks action suggested previously. You’d still need to reference Notion’s API documentation when setting up the request but the authentication part would be automatically handled by the Zap. If that’s something you’d be interested exploring you can learn more about how to use API Request actions here: Set up an API request action

Do let me know if you run into any trouble setting up that API Request action. I’m happy to help further if you get stuck at all! 

Waiting for the update!

Hi @dragobath and @Team1 👋

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. 🙂

I would also like to be notified or know if this has been fixed. This is fundamental for me.

Thanks for letting us know, @proudmary. Ah, in the video it looks like the text that was selected from Notion a property called Story Board Scene One, rather than the page content itself. In order to access the content for the page in Notion it seems the workaround would be to add it into a separate property.

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.

thanks @SamB i’m giving the API Request a shot today and will send a help ticket if I can’t figure it out, which is not only possible - it’s likely! 🙃

Could you please add me as well to the list?
And is there a ETA on this?

I’m here in November 2023 and it seems this has still not been added/fixed. This seems insanely limiting to me. Totally eliminates most useful usecases for the Notion/Zapier integration.

@Danvers I’m also very interested in this feature. Thanks!

@Ryan.Detzel assuming it’s possible to GET page content from database items… and considering this use case detailed by OP…

i would further assume that you’d want to limit that to type=rich_text to start. meaning, zapier wouldn’t pull in any of these types:

- checkbox
- created_by
- created_time
- date
- email
- files
- formula
- last_edited_by
- last_edited_time
- multi_select
- number
- people
- phone_number
- relation
- rollup
- select
- status
- title
- url
- unique_id
- verification

 

at that point, yes just convert it to markdown in the zapier interface.

@SamB please also add me to the list of interested users

Please add my vote to this one and notify me too. 👍

What a pitty this hasn’t been implemented yet.

Would you please add my vote for this feature?

 

 

Besides that: did anyone manage to implement a workaround for this?

So sorry about us missing your replies here previously, @rafacano, @Martin Blaha and @es1234!

There isn’t any ETA that I can share on when this will be resolved by, but I’ve added you all to the list of folks being impacted this. That will help to increase it’s priority although I can’t guarantee any sort of timeframe on that, and will ensure that you all receive an email notification from us once the issue has been sorted.

In terms of a workaround I’m thinking that it may be possible to use a webhook by Zapier action to search for the database item access the missing content that way. It seems like Notion’s Retrieve a database API endpoint might be the one to reference for that: https://developers.notion.com/reference/retrieve-a-database

That said, I’ve not tested it myself so if anyone is able to get that working as hoped please do let us know! 🤞

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

Hi there @mtl1819, @forbyus, @Etk823, @bradnoble, @Ken Ramirez, @Juno, @chr7stos, @digidockaurora and @Majd! 👋

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.
