Here’s how to update a checkbox value in a Notion database using the Notion API.
Each entry is considered to be a page.
So once you have that entry, let’s assume it to be the variable named page
, you’ll have its id
under page.id
I’ll also assume you have the Notion client initialized.
import { Client } from '@notionhq/client'
//...
const notion = new Client({ auth: process.env.NOTION_API_KEY })
Then you can do this to set value of the checkbox named “Ready” to true
:
await notion.pages.update({
page_id: page.id,
properties: {
Ready: {
checkbox: true,
},
},
})
