How to search & edit a database page in Notion?

[gunhudson]

Could you please explain to me how to lookup a Notion database, and then:

- edit a field
- continue only if checkbox is checked

I can't figure out how to use the Notion Actions, apart from 'create a new database item' is very straightforward, but the user interface for the searching is super complicated.

A video explanation, or a dummy workflow that I could examine would be amazing

I have shared a test database here:

pabbly database find item [test]

A new tool for teams & individuals that blends everyday work apps into one.

and a dummy workflow here:

As we can see from your workflow you have used Notion's database in the correct format and to configure the filter condition you can use the "Filter" action step to continue only if the checkbox is checked.
