Add Notion page with default value in Person field

[rutger]

So I’m scraping a LinkedIn page and creating a new Notion page with stuff like name etc, which are all strings so that’s easy.

But I need to set a Person to new page.

When I add that person’s name as a string value, Notion does not recognise and sets “Bardeen”.

Thanks for helping me out, you are amazing.

Hi @rutger,

Thank you for reaching out - In order to assign a user to a Person Property in Notion using Bardeen, you first need to use the “Find Notion Users” action in your automation.

Here’s a better detailed video that explains this action further (in a different context):

I hope this helps!
Thank you,
Jess
