Data Destination

When you connect an API to Notion, you need to choose where the data will be stored. With Note API Connector, you can send data to either:

  • Notion table databases (best for structured data and advanced features)
  • Notion simple tables (best for quick, basic lists)

Selecting a Notion Page​

On the request setup screen, choose your Notion workspace and search for the page where you want the data to appear.

Select Notion Workspace

You can either:

1️⃣ Search for a Notion page using the selection menu.
2️⃣ Paste the Page ID manually (the tool will show the page title with a checkmark if it’s valid).

How to Find Your Notion Page ID​

To manually enter a Page ID:

1️⃣ Open the Notion page you want to use.
2️⃣ Look at the browser URL. The format will be:

https://www.notion.so/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

3️⃣ The Page ID is the long string of letters and numbers at the end (typically 32 characters).

Example:

https://www.notion.so/19fce380694c80259563de0c139ccc5d

Page ID: 19fce380694c80259563de0c139ccc5d

Notion Table Database vs. Notion Simple Table​

You can choose whether to import data into a:

✅ Notion table database — works like a spreadsheet but with extra tools such as filters, views, and formulas.
✅ Notion simple table — just a basic table you add inside a page. (a simple table added to a Notion page)

See Notion’s own guide.

Importing into a Notion Table Database​

To store API data in a Notion database:

1️⃣ Convert a Notion page into a database using the slash command: /database
2️⃣ Select the database

Importing into a Notion Simple Table​

If you choose to import data into a Notion table, Note API Connector will generate a new table block inside your Notion page. This method does not modify existing page content.

Recommendation

For most cases, a Notion database is the better choice because you can:

  • Create relations between different databases.
  • Use formulas, filters, and multiple views.
  • Reference and reuse data across Notion.
