Notion Command Center

Create, query, update, and template Notion pages and databases using natural language.

Overview

The Notion Command Center turns Notion into a conversational workspace. Instead of navigating menus and configuring properties by hand, you describe what you need in plain English and Founder OS handles the rest -- creating pages, designing database schemas, querying records, and updating properties.

This namespace covers four core operations that map to the most common Notion tasks founders perform daily: searching for information, creating new content, updating existing records, and deploying pre-built database templates. Every command understands your workspace structure, translates natural language into the correct Notion API calls, and confirms changes before executing them.

Whether you need a quick CRM lookup, a new project tracker with status columns and due dates, or a batch property update across pages, the Notion Command Center keeps you in the flow of conversation. It pairs naturally with the Drive and Slack integrations -- data you surface in Drive or decisions captured from Slack can feed directly into Notion pages and databases.

Required Tools

Tool	Required	Purpose

Business Context	No	Personalizes output with your company terminology and strategy

Commands

`/founder-os:notion:query`

What it does -- Search Notion pages and query databases using natural language questions. Automatically detects whether you are searching for a specific page, querying a database with filters, or browsing your workspace broadly.

Usage:

/founder-os:notion:query [question] [--db=NAME] [--limit=N]

Example scenario:

You are preparing for a client call and need to see all overdue tasks in your Project Tracker database. You run /founder-os:notion:query What are my overdue tasks? --db="Project Tracker" and get a formatted list of tasks where the due date has passed and the status is not "Done," sorted by urgency.

What you get back:

Formatted result cards with property values, sorted by relevance
Database query results showing status, priority, dates, and assignees
Page search results with content previews and parent context
Aggregation answers for "how many" and "count" questions

Flags:

Flag	Default	Description
`--db=NAME`	--	Target a specific database by name for filtered queries
`--limit=N`	`10`	Maximum results to display (1-50)

`/founder-os:notion:create`

What it does -- Create a new Notion page or database from a natural language description. Automatically detects whether you want a page (single document) or a database (structured table), designs the schema or content, and confirms before creating.

Usage:

/founder-os:notion:create [description] [--type=page|database] [--parent=NAME]

Example scenario:

You need a project tracker for your Q2 marketing campaigns. You run /founder-os:notion:create A project tracker for Q2 marketing with status, priority, owner, and launch date and Founder OS proposes a database schema with Status (select), Priority (select), Owner (people), and Launch Date (date) properties. After you confirm, it creates the database under the parent page you specify.

What you get back:

For pages: a created Notion page with title and initial content, plus a direct URL
For databases: a proposed schema table for your review, then the created database with all properties configured and a suggested default view

Flags:

Flag	Default	Description
`--type=page\|database`	Auto-detect	Force creation of a page or database
`--parent=NAME`	Workspace root (pages) / prompted (databases)	Parent page name for the new content

`/founder-os:notion:update`

What it does -- Find a Notion page by title or URL, then update its properties or append content using natural language. Shows a before/after comparison and confirms before applying changes.

Usage:

/founder-os:notion:update [page] [changes] [--append]

Example scenario:

A deal just closed and you need to update the CRM record. You run /founder-os:notion:update "Project Alpha" set status to Done and priority to High and Founder OS finds the page, shows a table with the current and proposed values side by side, and waits for your confirmation before applying the update.

What you get back:

A before/after comparison table showing each changed property
Confirmation prompt before any writes are executed
Direct Notion URL to the updated page
When using --append, a preview of the content blocks that will be added

Flags:

Flag	Default	Description
`--append`	Off	Append content to the page body instead of updating properties

`/founder-os:notion:template`

What it does -- Deploy a pre-built business database template or list available templates. Templates include complete schemas with typed properties, default select options, and suggested views -- ready for immediate use.

Usage:

/founder-os:notion:template [template-name] [--parent=NAME]

Example scenario:

You are setting up a new sales pipeline and need a contacts database. You run /founder-os:notion:template CRM Contacts --parent="Sales" and Founder OS presents the full 12-property schema (Name, Email, Company, Status, Deal Value, and more) for your approval. After you confirm, the database is created and ready to populate.

What you get back:

Without a template name: a catalog of 5 available templates (CRM Contacts, Project Tracker, Content Calendar, Meeting Notes, Knowledge Wiki) with property counts
With a template name: a full schema preview table, then the created database with all properties and a suggested view type

Available templates:

Template	Properties	Best For
CRM Contacts	12	Tracking leads, clients, and business relationships
Project Tracker	10	Managing tasks with deadlines and ownership
Content Calendar	11	Planning content across channels
Meeting Notes	8	Recording decisions and action items
Knowledge Wiki	9	Organizing team knowledge and reference material

Flags:

Flag	Default	Description
`--parent=NAME`	Prompted	Parent page under which to create the database

What Can I Do with Natural Language Notion Queries?

You can search for pages by content, query databases with filters ("high priority items assigned to Sarah"), count records ("how many tasks are overdue"), and browse your workspace broadly. The system auto-detects whether you need a page search, a database query with filters, or an aggregation answer, then translates your question into the correct Notion API calls.

Tips & Patterns

Start with templates, customize later. Deploy a template with /founder-os:notion:template, then use /founder-os:notion:update to tweak individual records as your process evolves.
Use --db for precision. When querying, specifying --db="Project Tracker" avoids ambiguous results across your workspace.
Natural language filters work well. Queries like "high priority items assigned to Sarah" or "content published this month" are translated into proper database filters automatically.
Chain with other integrations. Surface a document with /founder-os:drive:search, then log findings to Notion with /founder-os:notion:create. Or pull Slack decisions with /founder-os:slack:digest and track follow-ups in a Notion database.
Confirm before committing. Both create and update show you exactly what will change and wait for your approval. You can modify the proposed schema or cancel at any point.

Drive -- Search and summarize Google Drive documents; results can feed into Notion pages
Slack -- Capture Slack decisions and action items that you can track in Notion databases
Client -- Client dossiers are assembled from Notion CRM data alongside email and calendar
CRM -- Syncs email and meeting data into the Notion CRM Communications database
