Erase Content

AI-generated

Summary

Erase all content on a selected Notion page, optionally creating a backup page before erasing. Supports selecting the target page manually by ID or URL, from a database page, or by searching all accessible pages.

Inputs

  • Page Selection Mode (required) — Choose how to select the target Notion page to erase content from: manually by ID/URL, from a specified database, or by searching all accessible pages.
  • Page ID or URL — When using manual selection, specify the Notion page ID (32 hex characters) or the page URL directly.
  • Database Name or ID — When selecting from database pages, choose or specify the database containing the target page.
  • Page Name or ID — Select the specific page from the chosen database when pageSelectionMode is 'database'.
  • Search Pages Name or ID — Select a page by searching all accessible pages when pageSelectionMode is 'allPages'.
  • Create Backup Before Erasing — Enable to create a backup copy of the page before erasing its content.
  • Backup Title — Specify a title for the backup page; supports expressions. Only used if creating a backup.
  • Backup Parent Database — Choose the database where the backup page should be created; defaults to the original page's database.
  • Global Settings — Settings applied globally to all content mappings including allocation strategy, parallel processing, property validation, and max retries.
  • Content Mappings — Configure how input content fields map to Notion page properties if content updates are intended alongside erasing. Allows specifying input type (plain text, rich text, files), content fields, and target Notion properties, with options to override global settings. Although primarily used for content writing, mappings can be involved in the erase content operation per configuration.

Output shape

no body — success or failure only

The operation does not return output data but may produce execution metadata and log information. Errors occur if the page cannot be accessed or the erase operation fails. Backup creation happens before deletion if enabled, with configurable backup page title and location.

Examples

Example 1: Erase content on a Notion page by manual page ID input, creating a backup copy in the original database with a timestamped title.

Set Page Selection Mode to 'Manual ID/URL', enter the target page ID or URL, enable 'Create Backup Before Erasing', specify a backup title using expressions, leave Backup Parent Database empty or default, and run the operation.
