Dropdowns for Selecting Notion Databases or Pages are Empty

Here's what to do when you encounter an error message or see blank options when selecting a Notion database or page source for your section.

Scenario 1: When You Have The Error Message

When you see this error message, it means Stackoia couldn't find any database connected from your Notion workspace:

Stackoia No database found error

Solution: Ensure the Notion Page Containing The Database is Connected To Stackoia

Make sure the Notion page or database you're trying to use as a source is connected to Stackoia. You can verify this by opening the page in Notion and clicking the three dots at the top right corner. Stackoia should appear under "Connections."

  1. Go to your dashboard here: https://stackoia.com/dashboard
  2. Click on your organization card.
  3. From your organization dashboard, click on the name of your Notion workspace to trigger Notion's authentication process again:
