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

设置项	类型	作用
Connection 必填（必填）	Credential
Database 必填（必填）	One of several shapes	Paste its link or ID.
Start a run when a page is	Choice	Options: Added, Added or edited. 默认值：Added
Check every	Number	At least 1 minute, only while the workflow is On. 默认值：5
On the first check	Choice	Options: Skip what’s already there, Start with the latest. 默认值：Skip what’s already there
How many to start with	Number	For “Start with the latest” and Fetch test event (1–20). 默认值：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	类型	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.
