Today we will learning send data to Notion by API
Setup new project
At here I use "Express application generator" for fastest setup new project
Steps:
1/ Install express-generator
npm install -g express-generator
2/ New project with name InjectionRegistrationNotion
express **--view=ejs** **InjectionRegistrationNotion**
cd InjectionRegistrationNotion
npm install
3/ Start server and get ready for write code
npm start // for start server this project
Access to localhost:3000
Great! Everything ready for next step
Let's make a Form Injection Registration
For write User Interface, I used ejs engine because it friendly with HTML native

Now, We can check UI will be update in browser
Process Server Side With API Notion
Because this is a small example. So I will write all code in "routes/index.js" for everyone easy follow
We need to make a new router for handle when Form submit
router.post("/", async function (req, res, next) {
//To be get parameter before Form submit and send data to server. We can use
const {name, email, phone, address, sex, note} = req.body;
//Just for debug
console.table({name, email, phone, address, sex, note});
//Redirect to form when before submit
res.redirect('/');
});
We can check data before submit
In web
In terminal be for click to "button Send"
Here we have done for get data from Form submit to Server, The next step we will send this data to Notion
Send data to Notion by API
First step we can install package "@notionhq/client"
npm i @notionhq/client
Register to use the package
//Required package
const {Client} = require("@notionhq/client")
//Setup config
const notion = new Client({
auth: process.env.NOTION_TOKEN,
})
Send data to Notion by API
await notion.pages.create({
parent: {
database_id: process.env.NOTION_DATABASE_ID,
},
properties: {
Name: {
title: [
{
text: {
content: name,
},
},
],
},
Email: {
email: email,
},
PhoneNumber: {
rich_text: [
{
text: {
content: phone,
},
},
],
},
Address: {
rich_text: [
{
text: {
content: address,
},
},
],
},
Gender: {
select: {
name: gender
},
},
Note: {
rich_text: [
{
text: {
content: note,
},
},
],
},
},
});
Setup file .env
NOTION_TOKEN=secret_heBrP3242423424322iHM8UzmjnALYvJ4WoeLA
NOTION_DATABASE_ID=ccfe5824942343224aa20ec85e1c2f7e
We wrote the code
Access to link http://localhost:3000/ and fill data click button "Send"
