Get a Table's Columns
Every column of a table, with its type and options.
What this action does #
First, connect Notion in Services. Then open Actions → + → Notion and choose Get a Table's Columns.
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.
More about this action
The call the bespoke Notion screens are drawn from: each column's name, ID and type, and every option a select, multi-select or status column offers. Notion calls a table's rows-and-columns a data source; a database can in principle hold several.
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.
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. |
title | array | A list of values. |
title[].plain_text | string | Text value. |
properties | object | Keyed by column name. |
parent | object | A group of named values. |
parent.database_id | string | Text value. |
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.
