Change a Bookmark
Change a bookmark in place — only what you fill in.
What this action does #
First, connect Notion in Services. Then open Actions → + → Notion and choose Change a Bookmark.
To find this direct request action, choose Every Notion endpoint in the integration’s picker. The setup guide also explains the dedicated forms for common tasks.
What a run does
Running or testing this action changes something in your connected service.
More about this action
Edits the block where it is. Only the fields filled in are sent, and Notion leaves everything else alone. Text is replaced whole: the new text is all the block says.
Inputs to fill in #
Open an input to choose its value. Keep a fixed value with Text, receive it from Shortcuts, ask when the action runs, or use an Earlier Step. Read how input sources work.
Link
OptionalTextThe page to bookmark. Leave empty to keep what it has.
Example value (replace with your own):
https://example.com
Caption
OptionalFormatted textMarkdown works: **bold**, *italic*, ~~struck~~, `code`, [a link](https://…), $E=mc^2$, <span color="red">colour</span>, <span underline="true">underline</span>, <mention-page url="…"/>, <mention-user url="user://…"/>, <mention-date start="tomorrow"/>. Put a \ before a character to keep it as it is. Leave empty to keep what it has.
What comes back #
In the action editor, open Output → Returned Value to choose fields for your shortcut. These are the response fields described by the app; a service may omit an optional field or return an empty list. JSON File contains the full response.
| Returned field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
id | string | Text value. |
last_edited_time | string | Text value. |
bookmark | object | A group of named values. |
Run it from Shortcuts #
- Give the action a recognizable name and tap Save.
- In Apple Shortcuts, add Shortcutify’s Execute Action and select the saved action.
- Supply any Param or File slots you bound in the inputs, then run the shortcut.
If the result is unexpected, open Logs in Shortcutify, select the run, and inspect this step’s inputs and response.
