Runner.Search the workspace or scope to a database before you write.
Notion Runner Workflows
Fetch the right page, inspect schema before writing, and keep structured workspace context current.
Runner uses Notion through a native MCP server and the Electron app's Notion guidance layer, which defines the safe write path for pages, databases, and workspace search.

What Runner actually does with Notion
This page is tied to the real connector definition inside Runner. The highlights below describe the kinds of actions, safeguards, and workflow patterns the app page represents, not a generic integration directory blurb.
Fetch schema before updates so property names and options are correct.
Create and update pages or database rows without guessing at the structure.
Backend surface
Native MCP server powers this connector inside Runner. Backed by the Notion MCP server at `https://mcp.notion.com/mcp`, with connector guidance in the Electron app describing the recommended tool sequence.
Operational notes
- The connector guidance explicitly says to fetch schema first; guessing property names is the main failure mode.
- Notion search is rate-limited more aggressively than the other tools, so scoped reads matter.

Triggers and actions
What Runner can do with Notion. These are grounded in the real backend connector definitions, not generic marketing filler.
Search the workspace or one database
notion-searchFull-text search across the workspace, optionally scoped to a specific database.
“Search Notion for the latest Luminance board prep page and scope it to the portfolio database if needed.”
Runner finds the current page before any update or summary starts.
Fetch the page or schema first
notion-fetchRead any page or database by URL or ID, returning schema for databases.
“Fetch the investor updates database so we can inspect the exact property names before writing.”
Runner works from the real schema instead of guessing at Notion structure.
Create a new page or database row
notion-create-pagesCreate standalone pages or database entries.
“Create a new weekly update entry in the founder comms database from this recap.”
The workflow output lands directly in the workspace where the team tracks it.
Update the existing page cleanly
notion-update-pageUpdate page properties or insert content into an existing page.
“Update the deal page with the meeting summary and next-step status.”
Shared workspace context stays current without manual cleanup work.
Query a saved database view
notion-query-database-viewRun the query attached to a saved Notion view.
“Open the active fundraising view and pull the rows that still need partner follow-up.”
Runner can work from the team's real Notion view logic, not a generic search.
Use Notion inside a real workflow
