[ACTION] Notion - Get Database

[ctrlaltdylan]

Is there a specific app this action is for?

Notion

Please provide a link to the relevant API docs for the specific service / operation.

https://developers.notion.com/reference/retrieve-a-database

Without support for this endpoint, there's no way to discover a Notion database's properties without coding an HTTP request manually.

There is a Retrieve Database action. Or would async options() for database properties be required?

[ctrlaltdylan]

Ah true. But the async options weren't working for me in my case, that's what lead me down this path to using the Retrieve Blocks action to find the block ID, then attempt to find the database properties.

For more context, I only allowed Pipedream access to one page, and under that page I created a database.

The result is that the async options never load:

Can you try reauthing the account with Pipedream? Notion disables access to newly created databases, I'm not sure if this would resolve the issue

Thank you @andrewjschuang ! That did the trick!

I'm making some video content around the Notion components, but it might help to add this to the Retrieve Database README.md#Troubleshooting section

How can I add this to that section?

[ctrlaltdylan]

Sorry, I don't think we announced it well, but now README.md's are supported at the app, source & action component levels.

Here's an example of an action that has a Troubleshooting section:

https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/blob/master/components/hubspot/actions/add-contact-to-list/README.md

That Troubleshooting section will also appear in that app's documentation in the public marketplace:

https://pipedream.com/apps/hubspot/actions/add-contact-to-list#troubleshooting

I'm also working on bringing it into the workflow builder itself, so customers can see this type of documentation naturally without leaving the builder.
