Hi there,

I am using “Create pages in Notion for new tl;dv transcripts”. When I test everything it completes nicely but no Notion page has been created since I created this Zap.

Hi @aisidekick 

For us to have more info, post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode.

Check your Zap Runs history for activity/errors: https://zapier.com/app/history/

Thanks!

I got an AI response. Really a pain that the limit is so low and one have to work around it

The error you’re encountering is due to Notion’s API limitation, which restricts the number of children (blocks) in a page to 100. Your input data contains 399 blocks, which exceeds this limit. This is why the “create_page” action is failing.

To resolve this, you can split the content into smaller chunks, each containing fewer than 100 blocks, and create multiple pages in Notion. You can use a Formatter step in Zapier to split the text or use a Code by Zapier step to programmatically divide the content. After splitting, you can loop through the chunks using a Looping by Zapier step to create multiple pages in Notion. This way, you can ensure that each page adheres to Notion’s API constraints.
