How do I delete a block in a Notion page?

Short answer: You can delete block in Notion by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Notion Delete Block action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Delete Block.

What does the Delete Block action do in Notion?
Deletes (archives) a block from a Notion page. Notion treats this as soft-delete; the block can be restored from the trash for 30 days.
What inputs does Delete Block require?
Required: Block ID. 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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Notion returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Delete Block support batch operations?
Run Delete Block inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Notion's rate limits.
