Apple Shortcuts Meets Notion Shortcuts Setup

6 simple steps to follow and everything will be ready to start using the shortcuts.

1- Shortcut Name
Add a proper Shortcut Name. When using Siri you execute the Shortcuts by Name, for example if you name a Shortcut “Digest”, you use it by saying Hey Siri: “Digest”.

2- Response
Change “Tell Me” for anything you want, like “Let’s go!”

3- Database ID
Replace with your Database ID.

4- Name
If the default “Name” property in your database is different, you need to add it **exactly** as you have it.

For example, if you changed Name to Title, the result should look like this:
“Title”: {

* Only needed in Shortcut 01.
* For Shortcut 02, change “Review Note” for the title you want to have.

5- Authorization
Edit the Authorization Value, you need your secret code you copied from the Notion integration and the format has to be exactly like this.

“Bearer” + “space” + “Secret”

The result should look like exactly like this.
