Action referenceCreate

What this action does #

First, connect Notion in Services. Then open Actions → + → Notion and choose Create a Top-Level Document.

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 creates something in your connected service.

More about this action

No parent to choose: the page lands in the person's Private pages, at the top of their sidebar. Works with a personal access token. Notion refuses it for an internal integration secret, which has no person to own a private page — create the page inside a shared one with Create a Document instead.

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.

Title

RequiredText

Supply a text value for this input.

Example value (replace with your own):
Meeting notes

Content

OptionalText

Body as Notion-flavoured Markdown.

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 fieldTypeMeaning
idstringText value.
urlstringText value.

Run it from Shortcuts #

  1. Give the action a recognizable name and tap Save.
  2. In Apple Shortcuts, add Shortcutify’s Execute Action and select the saved action.
  3. 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.
