Action referenceRead

What this action does #

First, connect Notion in Services. Then open Actions → + → Notion and choose Get a View.

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

A view's filter lives in two places: `filter`, and `quick_filters` — the chips along the top of the view, keyed by column ID. Both have to be applied to get the rows the view shows.

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.

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.
