Error: Failed to create a database item in Notion: Tasks is not a property that exists

Hi @barryvideo 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community!

To ensure we’re on the same page, could you kindly send screenshots of how the Zap was configured? That’ll help me make sure I give you the best suggestion possible.

Also, since you mentioned that you have other Zaps that use Notion, does the issue happen on all of the Zaps? Or does it happen to one Zap only?

Looking forward to your response! 😊

Hi Chalie,

Thanks for the response. I’m not sure of what you are asking for regarding sceenshots of how the Zaps were configured.  I did have three Zaps that used Notion. The integrations include Todoist, Tick Tick, and Google Calendar all of which didn’t work any longer. I was so frustrated that I just redid them and they seemed to work. I’m hoping this doesn’t happen again. I don’t think I can send you the screenshots because I deleted the Zaps that didn’t work.

Let me know if I can offer any other information that would be helpful.

Thanks,

Barry

Hi Charlie,

I have an update for you. I told you in my last update that I set up the three Zaps again. This is what I discovered this evening. I added an appointment in Google Calendar. The Zap appeared to work. It did appear in my Notion appointments list. However, I still received an email telling me there may be an error and that Tasks is not a property that exists. 

I don’t know if this helps, but here is the error message that I received:

Hey there @barryvideo,

I’m jumping in to see if I can help!

I appreciate the additional details on the error.

Have you tried replaying the errored tasks to see if they will be successful this time around?

You can find more information about replaying failed Zap runs at this link: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496241726989-Replay-failed-Zap-runs

Please keep us posted! 😊

I wish I could figure this out. The last couple of days I’ve added a few appointments from Google Calendar and it successfully added it to Notion. However, I’m still getting the same message “Tasks is not a property that exists.” 

Hi @ken.a 

Thank you for the response. I followed your suggestion and removed the extra fields and I no longer get the error message. 

Thanks so much for your help and guidance.

Barry
