Change a Row

Change some of a row's columns and leave the rest alone.

Action referenceChange

What this action does #

First, connect Notion in Services. Then open Actions → + → Notion and choose Change a Row.

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

A row is a page, so this is the page update endpoint. Only the columns sent are touched: a column left out keeps its value. Clearing one is a separate, deliberate answer — `null` for most columns, `[]` for text and lists — because an empty field here must never mean "wipe it".

Properties may be keyed by column name or by column ID. IDs survive the column being renamed, which names do not.

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.

Row

RequiredText

The row's page ID — usually the row an earlier Find Rows step found.

Example value (replace with your own):

248104cd-477e-80a9-8a1b-e4f8b0f8c1d2

Properties

OptionalStructured data (JSON)

Keyed by column name or ID. Leave empty when the step changes columns one by one.

Example value (replace with your own):

{"Status":{"status":{"name":"Done"}}}

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.
`url`	string	Text value.
`last_edited_time`	string	Text value.
`properties`	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.
