Hi David 👋, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it 🙏. It's definitely possible. The keyword you need is "Page content". Some adjustments are required in the JSON note to make it work. Here's a helpful resource from Notion that explains how it works. developers.notion.com/docs/working-with-page-content I hope it's helps :)
Hey, Thank you for your kind words 🙏 Your approach should also work. However, remember, if you want to add during quick capture, you need to modify the JSON text and include a new "Ask for" block in the shortcut. Here's an easy example: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/338f47a1ae3542a7973e98aef41e581f just insert your DB ID and API KEY, then you're good to go. I Hope this is helpful 😃
Hey, thank you so much - I appreciate it! Regarding the error sound, you need to give the shortcut permission to run. If you run the shortcut normally, it should prompt with 'Always Allow' or 'Not Allow.' Have you tried restarting your device and running it again to see if the permission prompt will appear?
Hi Riza, Thank you for your feedback. The shortcut link is provided in the description. Here's the link: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/97b4147dfbc74b9996e2479c5c7388a6 Try these steps: Step 1: Get the shortcut on your phone. Step 2: Open the shortcut app and find the shortcut called "Notion Task" Then, fill in your data for Notion and the Notion API. Step 3: Open the shortcut app again and find the shortcut called "Notion Task". Tap the three dots, select "Share", scroll down, and choose "Add to the Home Screen". The shortcut should now appear on your iPhone home screen. PS: If you're still having trouble, let me know, and I'll create a video on how to use it on an iPhone. PPS: My written Russian isn't as fluent as it used to be. 😃 I hope this message in English is still helpful to you.
This is amazing! Could you point to me to how I could have it auto fill different properties (e.g. due date @today, and a relation)? This is going to save me so much time!
Awesome to hear you love it! For auto-filling. The easiest way would be to: 1. Create a template in Notion with all the information you need. 2. Set this template as the "default". 3. Now, every time you make a new task, it will automatically use this template. I hope this helps explain what you're looking for!
Hey Lvminh, yes, you can. If you've got the shortcut and filled in all your data, then you can do this: Open the Shortcut app again and find the shortcut called "Notion Task". Tap the three dots, select "Share", scroll down, and choose "Add to Home Screen". The shortcut should now appear on your iPhone home screen. I hope its helps :)
Hi there! Don't worry - I've seen this bug before. It's just a display issue where it looks like something isn't selected, but everything is actually working fine. The functionality is still there, even if it doesn't look like it. Let me know if it's worked for you.
found a simple one, this is the error message: {"status":400,"object":"error","code":"invalid_json","message":"Error parsing JSON body."} / also: at the very end when I chose "file" I cannot pick "text", doesnt stay ?!
Hey Kai 👋 Did this link not work in the description? It's the full shortcut; you only need to paste your DB ID and your API token. It also includes the JSON text. www.icloud.com/shortcuts/97b4147dfbc74b9996e2479c5c7388a6
I tried with your master shortcut and this is the error message now: {"status":400,"object":"error","code":"validation_error","message":"Name is not a property that exists.","request_id":"...
I did that and this is still the error message@@heyvadim and the "text" choice at the end after "file" is not showing ... ?! I can pick it, but it goes away again
@@KaiPlatschke Okay, I've simplified it. Could you please try it out and let me know if it works for you? You only need to replace {"parent": {"database_id": "YOUR DB ID" }. Additionally, if you click on the Headers Arrow under the section "Get Content," paste your API Key into the "Authorization" Value field. If you encounter any issues, please let me know. We can jump on a call to make it easier to identify and resolve the problems www.icloud.com/shortcuts/2f615458eec9432faecddd495283e6bf
This is great but I tried your shortcut and this error code came up {"status":400,"object":"error","code":"validation_error","message":"Name is not a property that exists.","request_id": Please help!
Thank you for your feedback! It appears that your Notion database has a different "property name" for your tasks. Is it possible that the name is "Task" in your Notion database? To fix this issue, you can try one of the following steps: - Change the name in your Notion property from "Your current name" to "Name." - OR Adjust it in the JSON note by changing "Name" to your current Notion property name. I hope one of these steps will resolve your issue. If you still have any problems, please feel free to send me an email. It's easier to explain with pictures or a video. :)
I've followed step by step, even downloaded your shortcut so won't make any mistake buuuuut once I test the SC show's this message > {"status":400,"object":"error","code":"validation_error","message":"Name is not a property that exists.","request_id":"c5333d1d-d088-4986-8b93-59af578a9541"} I don't want to mess it up, please help.

Привет, можно тебя попросить мне помочь. Я делаю все точно как ты сказал, но у меня не появляется новая задача в базе. Я прочитал комментарии и посмотрел дополнительное видео которые ты снимал, имя столбика соотвествует имени в siri commads
Thanks you for the feedback! For my next tutorial, I'll make sure to explain things more clearly and take it a bit slower. To make things easier for you, I've got a link to the shortcut that you can duplicate. Feel free to follow along or simply copy and paste the JSON file.

This is awesome! I am now trying to figure out how I could also update the “body” of the page as well? Do you think that is possible?

Hi. Great video. I did however get an error “Couldn’t communicate with helper application” Any advice on how to get rid of the error message.
