Action referenceChange

What this action does #

First, connect Notion in Services. Then open Actions → + → Notion and choose Rename or Trash a Page.

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

Trashing is reversible — set In Trash to no to restore. The title property is called `title` on a child page, but takes the database's own title column name on a database row.

This used to send `is_archived`, which Notion now reads as its separate, paid *archive* feature and refuses on most workspaces. `in_trash` is the trash.

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 #

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.
