Tips and Best Practices

• Database Structure: Plan your database schema carefully before automation
• Rate Limits: Respect Notion's API rate limits, especially for bulk operations
• Rich Content: Use Notion's block types for formatted, interactive content
• Permissions: Ensure your integration has access to the required pages and databases
• Error Handling: Implement robust error handling for API failures

Troubleshooting

Issue: Integration cannot access databases or pages

Solution: Make sure you've shared the specific databases/pages with your integration in Notion

Issue: Rate limiting when performing bulk operations

Solution: Implement exponential backoff and batch your requests appropriately

Issue: Formatting not appearing correctly in created pages

Solution: Verify you're using the correct block types and structure in your API calls
