Notion¶
Search and retrieve content from your connected Notion workspace via Carbon. You provide a natural-language query and select specific Notion pages/databases (file IDs) to scope the search. The node delegates to the Carbon service and returns the matched content as a string.
Usage¶
Use this node when you need to query knowledge stored in Notion (pages, databases) and feed the retrieved context into downstream reasoning or generation nodes. Typical workflow: authenticate/connect Notion in your Salt account, select Notion files with the file picker, enter a query, then pass the output string to an LLM or another processing step.
Inputs¶
| Field | Required | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| query | True | STRING | The natural-language search query used to find relevant content in the selected Notion files. | What are the Q3 OKRs and their owners? |
| file_ids | True | CARBON_FILE_IDS | One or more Notion file identifiers to scope the search. Uses the Carbon file picker configured for the Notion integration. | ["notion-file-id-1", "notion-file-id-2"] |
Outputs¶
| Field | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output | STRING | The search result text returned from Carbon for the specified Notion files and query. Suitable for direct display or as context to downstream nodes. | Top results from selected Notion pages:\n1) OKRs Q3: ...\n2) Team Assignments: ... |
Important Notes¶
- You must have the Notion integration connected to your Salt account before using this node.
- Use the file picker in the file_ids input to ensure you select valid Notion pages/databases that Carbon can access.
- The node returns a string; if you need structured data, process or parse the output downstream.
- Access is performed on behalf of the provided salt_user_id; ensure this user has permission to the selected Notion content.
Troubleshooting¶
- No results or empty output: Verify your query is specific enough and that the selected Notion files are indexed and accessible.
- Authorization errors: Ensure your Notion integration is connected and the salt_user_id is valid for this workspace.
- Wrong or missing files in results: Re-open the file picker and confirm you selected the intended Notion pages/databases.
- Output too long: Add more specific query terms or reduce the number of selected files to narrow results.
