🎓 Lesson 12-6: Workflow Automation with Notion

📍 What You'll Do

**Lesson 12-6** !

| Item | Details | |------|------| | Goal | Perform **page body appending, property updates, and new child page creation** while learning **verification procedures that do not break production** | | Duration | ~35 min | | Skills used | Notion MCP (create / update / append), ncli as needed | | Prerequisites | `/start-12-5` completed | | Course page | [Module 12: Notion](https://ai-agent.camp/en/course/module-12) alongside this lesson |

**Session flow:** 1. Duplicate/create a **draft** page or DB and only test there 2. **Present the changes as a diff to the user** before executing 3. After execution, verify the display on the Notion side and understand the rollback procedure

> **Safety**: In shared wikis or production DBs, **always work on a duplicated page**. Do not overwrite production properties without explicit user approval.

🎯 Readiness Check

**AskQuestion configuration:**

{
  "title": "🎯 Pre-write confirmation",
  "questions": [{
    "id": "target",
    "prompt": "What is the target of the changes?",
    "options": [
      {"id": "sandbox", "label": "Draft/duplicated pages only (recommended)"},
      {"id": "existing", "label": "Existing production page (user takes responsibility)"},
      {"id": "read_only", "label": "Just reviewing the procedure this time"}
    ]
  }]
}

🚀 Step 1: Prepare Sandbox

Agent instruction example:

Create a sub-page with today's date under the "Practice Notion" page,
and only append text there. Do not touch other blocks on the parent page.

---

🚀 Step 2: Append or Update Properties

1. **Append**: Add headings + bullet points with block append (confirm existing block IDs with the user) 2. **Properties**: Write the **before and after values** for Select / Status / Date, etc. in chat before PATCHing 3. **New DB row**: Fill only the title and required properties, leaving the rest for the user to fill manually

---

🚀 Step 3: Verification and Rollback

1. Open Notion and confirm with the user that it is displayed as expected 2. If there are errors, **revert using the same tool** or guide to page history (if available) 3. Include the changed page URL, item name, and new value in the **completion report**

---

✅ Completion Criteria

• [ ] If production was directly edited, user approval was recorded in chat beforehand
• [ ] User confirmed the before/after diff at least once
• [ ] Included the exercise page/DB URL in the final report
