:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

I am struggling with the Notion integration in Make. I have a scenario that goes: Webhook → OpenAI → Notion (Create a database item (legacy)).

Even though my connection is authorized as a Public Connection in Notion and I have specifically selected the database in the “Select pages” step during the connection setup, the database does not appear in the “Select from list” dropdown in the Notion module.

Steps I’ve tried:

Created a new Public Connection and ensured the specific database is checked in the Notion Auth window.

Verified that the connection is active and “Authorized by [User]” inside Notion.

Used the “Refresh” button next to the Database ID field multiple times.

Tried using the “Create a Database Item (Legacy)” module and the new “Create a Page” module.

:clipboard: Error messages or input/output bundles

When trying to input the Database ID manually, I received a 404 Not Found error.

During a test run where I mistakenly mapped the AI output to the ID field, I got a 400 Runtime Error: body.parent.database_id should be a valid uuid, instead was [AI Text content]. It seems like Make isn’t fetching the database schema/list at all from the API. How can I force Make to “see” my authorized database so I can map my fields correctly?

Hello,

In September 2025, Notion changed object fields in their API and the Get databases endpoint is no longer working with the latest API.

This endpoint is deprecated and is only available on API version “2021-08-16” and earlier. Use the Search API instead. This endpoint will only return explicitly shared databases, while search will also return child pages. This endpoint’s results cannot be filtered, while search can be used to match on page title.
that’s why you are seeing only some databases.

Top class assistance, big thanks Michał! This time I chose to use google sheets instead, works just as fine.
