Is there a way to update the mapping fields when using a module like āadd page to Notion databaseā? For instance, if Iām creating the automation and realize that the database is lacking some properties, can I refresh the connection or do I have to rebuild it completely?
Hi @dell.cooper, the easiest way Iāve found to have Bardeen update to display any newly added properties of a Notion database is to simply delete the action inside of your Bardeen automation and recreate it from scratch. It is a little time consuming, but it works.
I hope this helps!
Thank you,
Jess
Thanks for the quick response. That is what I am doing. Was hoping for an easier way.
There should be an easier way, I would agree. We should share this feedback here: Share an idea
Great point and feedback! Indeed thereās no way to refresh the fields automatically. You need to remove it and add it back again.
How would you imagine a simpler way to do this?
Iāll turn this into a Share an idea
The fields should refresh automatically or there should be a button on the mapping section that allows the user to manually refresh to pull in any new properties added without unmapping/removing any existing inputs in the action.
Love the reference Garret!
What is the app about?
Guessing you mean the refreshing icon
Hey folks, happy to share we have this feature planned for upcoming releases.
Hereās a preview of the designs! In case you have any thoughts
Thank you Ivan, excited for the needed feature!
I donāt see any differences in the two pictures, but it looks exactly how I wouldāve imagined it - nice work!
Yep, shared the second one now
Hi Jess, Iām not able to get the fields from the Notion database to update in Bardeen. The Reload Fields button next to the Notion database field list doesnāt seem to do anything. Iāve also tried deleting the playbook action and building it again from scratch as well as deleting the Notion connection from Bardeen as well as Notion and then reconnecting. It seems like the database fields are cached as it keeps populating the old fields even after deleting the connection. Maybe thereās a way to clear the cache somewhere? Iām also wasting credits trying to get everything to work
Hi @travis1 - I would reach out to support directly to ask for credit reimbursement and further assistance. The only other thing I would suggest to try is to removing and reinistalling the Bardeen extension as a whole as it might now be outdated.
I hope this helps!
Thanks Jess, fortunately I decided to try typing āRefresh Notion fieldsā into the AI prompt bar and it worked! I would definitely report the bug that the refresh icon next to the Notion Database title does not work in Chrome on Mac or PC. I also tried using the Reset button that appears after clicking on the Notion icon at the top of the Playbook page which I would assume would also reset the Notion connection which didnāt work, though this may be a filter reset (if so it should say āRefresh Filterā).
Can you report bugs or can you point me to where bugs are logged?
Great, happy you got it to work!
You can report bugs here in discourse Report an issue
Or you can reach out to their support email. It should be listed on their website somewhere, I donāt know off the top of my head atm.
Sorry, final update here. It seems that the AI prompt command only added a new action to update the Notion page which had a refreshed version of the DB. It didnāt update the original action. So it seems that adding a new action is the trick, you just have to rewire all of your connections. Will report via the link you sent. Thanks!
