The notion database updater nodes i’m using are no longer working.

It’s consistently saying that a database item does not exist, when in fact it does (see screenshots)

I’ve tried replacing the notion updater nodes but the issue seems to persist

Hey @samhbarton, thanks for flagging this!

Could you share a bit more detail on how you’re triggering the flow? I’m wondering if it’s possible the page hasn’t been created yet at run-time?

Does this happen with all pages or just specific ones? I noticed there are quite a few successful runs for this workbook, so I’m curious about where it worked and what might be different in those cases.

Lastly, have you tried—or would it be feasible to try—a different search value + search column?

Just trying to help narrow down the root cause here since I’m not able to reproduce this directly.

Hey Wasay! i did some troubleshooting and it turned out to be a notion issue — there was a new line in the name of the notion record. Thanks for the quick response, as always!!
