Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further.

Notion is the most common knowledge surface Actionist writes into. Use it as a daily digest destination, a CRM-lite, a project hub, or the long-term memory for an agent.

​
What you can do

  • Create pages in any database with structured properties (status, owner, dates, relations).
  • Query databases with filters, sorts, and pagination.
  • Append blocks (text, callouts, toggles, code, images) to existing pages.
  • Update properties on existing pages.
  • Read page content as Markdown for retrieval-style workflows.

​
Setup

1

Install the Notion MCP server

Integrations → Discover → Notion → Install. Server runs locally and authenticates to your workspace via OAuth.
2

Share the right pages or databases

In Notion: open the page/database you want Actionist to touch, Share → Invite, and add the Actionist integration. Without this, the API can’t see the database.
3

Pin the database IDs

Once shared, the database appears in the MCP server config under Server details → Resources. Pin frequently-used DBs as named variables in your workflow so the agent doesn’t guess.

​
Common workflows

  • Daily Slack digest → Notion page — every morning, write yesterday’s Slack DM summary to a new page in a “Daily digests” database.
  • Linear → Notion sync — when a Linear issue closes, append a row to a “Shipped” database with the title, owner, and a 1-sentence summary.
  • PDF → Notion — drag a PDF into chat, ask Actionist to extract the key facts as a new Notion page with structured properties.
  • Notion as memory — point your research agent’s Files folder at a Notion DB; it retrieves from there when answering questions.

​
Limits & gotchas

  • Database IDs are 32-character UUIDs without dashes. Get them from the Notion URL after the workspace slug.
  • Rich text is chunked. Pages with >100 blocks paginate — your read action must follow next_cursor to get everything.
  • Notion’s API doesn’t expose every block type. Synced blocks, embeds, and unfurled links return as opaque references.
  • Rate limits are 3 requests per second per integration. Long backfills need a sleep.
