Generating Notion Page Blocks from AI Responses

Are you switching from make to callin.io? That's great. Are you utilizing the AI agent for tool calls and block creation? Also, can you create a basic block via the API without issues, given that you're encountering permission/authentication problems?

The agent simply outputs an array of JSON object blocks formatted for the Notion API. callin.io could read the entire array of JSON and construct the page content, but n8n cannot.

I've figured it out; all I need to do is set the block name as the block type and the text as the content.

This is my agent's output:

[
    {
        "object": "block",
        "type": "heading_2",
        "heading_2": {
            "rich_text": [
                {
                    "type": "text",
                    "text": {
                        "content": "Overview"
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    {
        "object": "block",
        "type": "paragraph",
        "paragraph": {
            "rich_text": [
                {
                    "type": "text",
                    "text": {
                        "content": "Cornell University offers one of the leading architecture..."
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    {
        "object": "block",
        "type": "heading_2",
        "heading_2": {
            "rich_text": [
                {
                    "type": "text",
                    "text": {
                        "content": "Location"
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    {
        "object": "block",
        "type": "paragraph",
        "paragraph": {
            "rich_text": [
                {
                    "type": "text",
                    "text": {
                        "content": "Cornell University is located in Ithaca, New York, USA..."
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

As you can see, I need to iterate through these blocks, and it should function correctly. This example demonstrates how it establishes the block type and its content.

My approach is to instruct the agent to output a Notion API block format, but only include the block's type and content. Then, I'll loop over the array of blocks, and it should work. If the output is malformed, I might just output the full array and use a module to parse the JSON objects.

I need to learn about:

1. Looping
2. Parsing

This guide explains how to properly format content for a Notion page.

In the user message for the AI message model, you must format the output to utilize the Notion Block API. Additionally, provide an example of the JSON output containing only the necessary parts: type and content.

The output will be used to create Notion page blocks via the Notion Block API. Employ all available blocks from the Notion Block API. When using a bullet list, remember that each item is a `type=bulleted_list_item`; it is not a single list containing all bullets.

Example output, an array of objects:
[
{"type":"heading_2", "content":"Overview"},
{"type":"paragraph", "content":"This college...."},
...
]

Subsequently, use the Code node to convert the message content into an array of JSON objects. Then, utilize the Notion Append Block node to create all the blocks.
