How do I create a Notion page (row) in a database?
Short answer: Drop the "Notion → Create Page" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Parent Type parent_type | options | Required | Where to create the page. Pick "Database" to add a row to a Notion database, or "Page" to nest a new page under an existing one. |
Database ID parent_database_id | string | Optional | Notion database ID to add this page to. Open the database in Notion → "..." menu → "Copy link" → paste here (the ID is the UUID at the end of the URL). Required when Parent Type is "Database". |
Parent Page ID parent_page_id | string | Optional | Notion page ID to nest the new sub-page under. Open the parent page in Notion → "..." menu → "Copy link" → paste here. Required when Parent Type is "Page". |
Title title | string | Required | Title of the new page (maps to the title property for database pages) |
Properties properties | json | Optional | Additional page properties as JSON. For database rows, the keys must match your database schema property names. Example: {"Status": {"select": {"name": "To Do"}}, "Priority": {"number": 1}} |
Page Content content | string | Optional | Plain text content to add as a paragraph block in the page body |

FAQ
Questions about Create Page.
What does the Create Page action do in Notion?
Creates a new page in a Notion database (adds a row) or as a child of another page. Pass properties for database columns and children for body blocks.
What inputs does Create Page require?
Required: Parent Type, Title. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Notion returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Create Page support batch operations?
Yes. Run Create Page inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Notion's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
