Blocks for querying and reading data from Notion databases.

Notion Read Database

What it is

Query a Notion database with optional filtering and sorting, returning structured entries.

How it works

This block queries a Notion database using the Notion API. It retrieves entries with optional filtering by property values and sorting. The block requires your Notion integration to have access to the database.

Results include all property values for each entry, the entry IDs for further operations, and the total count. The database connection must be shared with your integration from Notion.
