Configure the Notion Posts Database

Posts database model

Code-accurate property map

• series is read as a Select value, not rich text.
• author is a Notion People property. Rich author profiles match by Notion user ID through the Authors data source people property.
• thumbnail, image, cover, or the page cover can be used as the card image. The app checks them in that order.
• Only Post and Page are supported types. Any other type value currently falls back to Post.

The Posts data source is the source of truth for public content. Each row controls one post or standalone page, and the page body becomes the article content.

Required fields

• title — Rendered as the article heading and used in metadata.
• slug — URL path. Use stable, lowercase, hyphenated slugs.
• status — Public, PublicOnDetail, Draft, or Private.
• type — Post for feed items, Page for standalone pages.
• date — Publish date and sorting key.

Recommended fields

• summary — Short description for cards, search, and SEO.
• category — Must exactly match a category name in src/config/brand.ts.
• tags — Freeform labels for filtering and discovery.
• series — Optional grouping for multi-part articles.
• author — Notion People property, optionally enriched by the Authors data source.

Publishing states

Public         visible in feeds and directly accessible
PublicOnDetail hidden from feeds but directly accessible
Draft          work in progress
Private        hidden without deleting the row

Use Private instead of deleting content when you want a reversible change.
