New or updated page

Start the workflow when a page is added to, or edited in, a Notion database.

A polling trigger

It checks for new items on a timer while the workflow is On, in the browser extension. Read Polling triggers for the first check, test events and what happens when a check fails.

Needs a New or updated page connection — 

Pick a saved connection in the Connection field, or create one from there. It signs in with a Bearer Token.

What it does

Every Check every minutes, the trigger reads the database’s latest pages and starts one run with the new ones. With Start a run when a page is set to Added or edited, each edit counts again (two edits in the same minute are told apart).

A check that finds nothing new starts no run. Press Run to fetch a test event: the latest items, without moving the trigger’s position.

When to use it

• A content calendar: act when a new idea is added.
• A task database: notify someone when a page changes.

Inputs and settings

Réglage	Type	Ce que cela fait
Connection OBLIG.(obligatoire)	Credential
Database OBLIG.(obligatoire)	One of several shapes	Paste its link or ID.
Start a run when a page is	Choice	Options: Added, Added or edited. Par défaut : Added
Check every	Number	At least 1 minute, only while the workflow is On. Par défaut : 5
On the first check	Choice	Options: Skip what’s already there, Start with the latest. Par défaut : Skip what’s already there
How many to start with	Number	For “Start with the latest” and Fetch test event (1–20). Par défaut : 3

Database takes the database’s link or ID. Share the database with your Notion integration first, or the trigger can’t see it.

Outputs

• Output

Each run returns a list of items with these fields:

Field	Type	What it holds
id	Text

Shape of an output item

[
  {
    "id": "…"
  }
]

One item per page, as Notion returns it (id, url, properties, created_time, last_edited_time…).

Dependencies and credentials

• Connection (connection, Bearer Token): required. See Create a connection.

Example workflow

1. New or updated page on a Requests database, Added.
2. Slack posts the page title and link.

Common issues

• “Choose a database first.”: paste the database’s link in Database.
• Nothing runs: the database isn’t shared with the integration your connection uses.

Related nodes

• Polling triggers: how every “New …” trigger checks.
• Notion: read and write pages and databases.
• Schedule Trigger: run at fixed times instead.
