Overview
The node provides advanced integration with the Notion API, allowing users to interact with various Notion resources such as pages, blocks, databases, and users. Specifically, for the User - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific user in a Notion workspace by their User ID.
This operation is useful when you need to fetch user details for automation workflows, such as verifying user identity, retrieving user metadata for reporting, or integrating user data into other systems.
Example use cases:
- Fetching a user's profile information to personalize notifications.
- Retrieving user details to audit changes made by specific users.
- Integrating Notion user data into CRM or HR systems.

Dependencies
- Requires a valid Notion API authentication token configured in n8n credentials.
- Uses the Notion REST API endpoint
/users/{user_id}. - The node depends on utility functions for resolving IDs and making authenticated HTTP requests to Notion.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Notion API credentials: The node validates credentials before execution. Ensure your API key or token is correct and has sufficient permissions.
- User ID not found or invalid: If the provided User ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error. Verify the User ID is correct.
- API rate limits: Frequent calls may hit Notion API rate limits. Implement retry logic or reduce call frequency.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access to Notion API endpoints.
