Notion Integration Feedback & Feature Requests

Hi Gumloop team,

I’ve been using the Notion integration extensively and wanted to share some feedback on areas that could be improved:

1. Missing Page ID in Database Query Results When using nodes that query Notion databases (e.g., database readers), the results don’t include the Page ID in the outputs. This makes it difficult to perform follow-up actions on specific pages that were retrieved from a query. Having the Page ID as an available output would enable better workflow chaining.

2. Database Dropdown Not Loading in Custom MCP Nodes When building custom MCP nodes for Notion, the database dropdown/selector doesn’t load any databases, even though the same credential works perfectly fine in native Notion nodes. This makes it impossible to properly configure custom MCP nodes that need to interact with specific databases.

3. No Direct Page Property Update by ID/URL There doesn’t appear to be a straightforward way to update a page’s properties using just its Page ID or URL. This would be incredibly useful for workflows where you need to update specific pages without querying a database first.

These enhancements would significantly improve the flexibility and power of Notion automations on Gumloop. Thanks for your continued work on the platform!

Hey @midm55,

Thank you so much for sharing the feedback! Taking notes here so we can implement this.

  1. Would having a ‘Page ID’ on the native ‘Notion Database Reader’ node solve the issue here? What does the ideal solution look like for you?

  2. I was able to reproduce this, thank you for flagging. I’ve added it to our backlog to fix.

  3. This one is a bit tricky based on how the Notion API works, but we can definitely explore options here.

Thanks again!

  1. Yes clearly ! And/or URL ? When you think about it, you can’t chain a “Notion database reader” and a “Notion page reader” right now.
  2. Great. For context my usage of notion mcp is for making a db query with complex filters, which is not possible with the notion db reader.
  3. A good tradeoff would be to make the “Notion database updater” accept page ids, right now you can only use a search column to update desired row.

Thanks
