A condition matches nothing

The count says 0 pages for a condition you expected to catch many.
1

Check the property is on the right data source

A database with several data sources has different properties on each. Pick the data source you mean, then rebuild the condition from the properties it offers.
2

Check the value exists

A select or status condition matches the exact option. Done and done are different values in Notion.
3

Invert it to sanity-check

Flip the condition — is not empty instead of is empty, checked instead of unchecked. If both directions return 0 out of a database you know has pages, the condition is not being read the way you intend; simplify to one property and build back up.

A run will not start

”Another job is still running”

Runs started from Claude wait for each other: one at a time per account, so two cannot collide on the same pages. Wait for the current one to finish (History shows its progress), then ask again. Nothing was charged for the refused attempt.
The console does not hold you back this way. If you start a second run there while one is going, both proceed — so give an in-flight run time to finish before launching another over the same pages.

”Not enough credits”

The run needs more credits than you have, so it was refused before touching anything. Narrow the condition, add a booster, or wait for the monthly refill — see Credits and plans. Retrying will not change the outcome.

”The count has changed”

Pages were added to or removed from the database between previewing the run and starting it. Rather than run over a set you have not seen, BulkNotion refuses and asks you to look again. Preview once more, check the new number, and start it.

A job seems stuck

Progress sits at the same number for a while.
Progress moves in batches, not page by page, so it will pause and then jump. Roughly four to six pages a second is normal — a thousand-page run takes a few minutes.

Give it a moment

Check again in twenty seconds or so before assuming something is wrong.

Look at History

A job that has genuinely failed shows as failed there, with a reason.

Contact support with the job ID

If it has been much longer than the size suggests, send us the job ID from History.

Some pages failed

The job reports how many pages failed alongside how many succeeded. Common causes:
  • BulkNotion cannot reach the page. It was not included when you authorised Notion, or it has since moved. Reconnect and include it — Connecting Notion.
  • The page was deleted between the run starting and reaching it.
  • Notion was rate-limiting. Large runs occasionally hit this; re-running for the failed pages usually works.
Successful pages are already updated. Re-running affects only the pages you select again.

A database or template is missing

The database does not appear in search, or the template list is empty.
Almost always the Notion authorisation. BulkNotion only sees what you selected on Notion’s screen.
1

Reconnect and widen the selection

From Settings, run the connection again and tick the database — and the page holding the template.
2

Check the workspace

With more than one workspace connected, make sure the switcher is on the one holding the database.
3

Check the template exists in Notion

The template list comes from templates defined on that database in Notion. If there are none, create one there first.

Claude cannot find the tools

Ask it to reconnect the BulkNotion connector. MCP clients cache the tool list, so a client connected before an update may be working from a stale copy. More on the connector: MCP overview.

Still stuck

Contact support with the job ID from History if it concerns a specific run. It is the fastest way for us to see what happened.
