Hi Makers,

I’m trying to set up a scenario where a main database (TEST01) contains several records,
and each record has a property called Target DB ID — this is the ID of another database (inline DB) inside a Notion page.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Goal: I want to push the contents of each record (like details, price, etc.) into the database referenced in the Target DB ID field — meaning, each row should be recorded in a different database depending on that field.

I’ve attached a screenshot for reference.

Issue:
When using Make’s Notion modules like Create Database Item or Search Objects,
I’m not sure how to dynamically map the Target DB ID as the database ID input.
Especially for modules like Search Objects, there’s no “Enter manually” option.

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: What I need help with:

  • How can I dynamically insert the database ID from Target DB ID into the Notion modules in Make?
  • Is there a workaround or advanced way to inject that value into the required fields?

Additional context:
The number of records in the TEST01 main DB can grow to several hundred —
which means the number of Target DB IDs will also increase accordingly.
While it’s technically possible to build a scenario for each target DB manually,
that would be extremely inefficient and unmanageable.
That’s why I’m looking for a scalable, dynamic solution.

Thanks in advance for your help! :folded_hands:

Hi Hyeonho,
You can map the Target DB ID dynamically on the modules (even Search Objects) - why do you say that’s not possible? Did you notice any issue in particular preventing you from mapping it dynamically?
