Instantiating a notion database page from a notion template

The idea is:

When creating a new notion database page with n8n, I’d like to have the option of instantiating an existing notion template that is specific to this database.

My use case:

Notion supports creating pretty sophisticated templates for database pages. They are a great way to start out with repeating tasks. It would be impossible to recreated these templates within n8n.

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

Constructing a notion page with n8n is quite complicated and can never cover all the possibilities notion offers. With the option to create a new database page from a template existing in notion, it would be possible to create many practical workflows, for instance recurring meetings, maintenance tasks, or common workflows.

Any resources to support this?

It looks like the notion API doesn’t support duplicating pages or instantiating templates, but it would be possible to copy the blocks from a template one by one.

Are you willing to work on this?

I am unable to contribute unfortunately.

This would be huge for me, also. I’m currently relying on whoever opens the page first to select the right template.

My vote is here! But, Notion has to improve its API to do this.

I would love this. I’m facing this issue right now.
I think the only current option is to create a Notion Automation (paid plan) that is triggered by some action coming from n8n.

Same here, Any ideas?

That would be great, so life changer !

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to create blocks with Notion Automation.
We can only modify properties…

My vote too

please we really need this feature it’s been a long time we ask for it. And if it comes from Notion team tell us
