How do I delete a block in a Notion page?
Short answer: Drop the "Notion → Delete Block" 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Block ID block_id | string | Required | Notion block ID — a UUID. Most pages are also valid blocks (use the page ID). |
Sample request
{"block_id": "e.g. a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890"}
Returns
{"id": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890","type": "paragraph","object": "block","archived": true}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

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 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 Delete Block support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete Block inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Notion's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
