What this action does #
First, connect Notion in Services. Then open Actions → + → Notion and choose Create a 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
The plain-document counterpart to Create a Page: a child page under a page you already have, rather than a row in a database.
Content is Notion-flavoured Markdown, which is the one place Notion lets you avoid building block objects by hand. Notion treats Markdown and block children as mutually exclusive, so only Markdown is offered.
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 | The new document's ID. |
url | string | Open this to see it in Notion. |
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.
