Create a Database, Seed a Page, and Add Content

with Notion

Create a database, add a page to it, and append content blocks to that page.

  1. Create a database as a subpage of the parent page with a single title property in its schema.
  2. Create a page whose parent is the new database, setting the title property so the page conforms to the database schema.
  3. Append a heading and a paragraph block to the newly created page using the page ID as the block to append children to.
What you'll need to have ready
