Notion Blog

Creating Blog Posts

Under CTC Notion > Blog > Projects

1. In Notion click new on the table to add a new row
2. Fill in the Page name, slug, Date, and Authors
3. At the top of the content area add the content you want to show as a preview (keep this under 2 paragraphs)
4. Add a divider block under your preview content (/div or hit '-' until it becomes a div)
5. Add the rest of your content under the divider block

Running Locally

This is using the unofficial Notion API, but hopefully doesn't break entirely: export NEXT_PUBLIC_NOTION_TOKEN = 5e755ea78755c533b9294b48b81cbe55f0fafc69dcc2b04ffddcd773cfc7493b850cfacd980b404c193ad916f76849286af8ad4b3ef3b1cde79c74b7acffd7829d956a6760076b269db72ced6749

export NEXT_PUBLIC_BLOG_INDEX_ID = 5139c44e-2e76-48bc-adbf-61e18e70a6c8

then yarn dev

1. Install dependencies yarn
2. Expose NEXT_PUBLIC_NOTION_TOKEN and NEXT_PUBLIC_BLOG_INDEX_ID in your environment export NEXT_PUBLIC_NOTION_TOKEN='<your-token>'and export NEXT_PUBLIC_BLOG_INDEX_ID='<your-blog-index-id>' or set NEXT_PUBLIC_NOTION_TOKEN="<your-token>" && set NEXT_PUBLIC_BLOG_INDEX_ID="<your-blog-index-id>" for Windows
3. Run next in development mode yarn dev
4. Build and run in production mode yarn build && yarn start

Getting Blog Index and Token

IF THE NOTION API BREAKS, THIS IS HOW WE ACCESSED IT FROM BEFORE

To get your blog index value, open Notion and Navigate to the Notion page with the table you created above. While on this page you should be able to get the page id from either:

• the URL, if the URL of your page is https://www.notion.so/Blog-S5qv1QbUzM1wxm3H3SZRQkupi7XjXTul then your NEXT_PUBLIC_BLOG_INDEX_ID is S5qv1QbU-zM1w-xm3H-3SZR-Qkupi7XjXTul
• the loadPageChunk request, if you open your developer console and go to the network tab then reload the page you should see a request for loadPageChunk and in the request payload you should see a pageId and that is your NEXT_PUBLIC_BLOG_INDEX_ID

To get your Notion token, open Notion and look for the token_v2 cookie.
