My First Post

  1. The 32-character hex string (right before the ?v=) is your NOTION_DATABASE_ID. Copy it (with or without dashes both work).

5. Add your first post

Add a row and fill it in:

  • Title: e.g. My first post
  • Slug: my-first-post (lowercase, hyphens — this becomes the URL /2026/my-first-post)
  • Date: pick a date
  • Summary: one-line description
  • Published: check the box
  • Click Open on the row to write the actual post body inside the page (headings, paragraphs, code blocks, etc.)

Once you've got the NOTION_TOKEN and NOTION_DATABASE_ID, paste them here and I'll drop them into a local .env.local and we'll confirm your real post shows up on the site. Want me to also enable a quick way to verify the connection (a small script/route that lists what the API can see), in case anything's misconfigured?
