How to Update the Icon Emoji of a Notion Page Using the Notion API

In this tutorial, we will learn how to update the icon emoji value of a Notion page using the Notion API. Before we begin, make sure you have already initialized the Notion client.

import { Client } from '@notionhq/client'

//...

const notion = new Client({ auth: process.env.NOTION_API_KEY })

Assuming that the page ID is stored in the page_id variable, you can follow these steps to set the value of the page icon to a new emoji:

await notion.pages.update({
  page_id: page_id,
  icon: {
    type: 'emoji',
    emoji: '✅',
  },
})

This code snippet will update the icon of the specified Notion page to the emoji of a check mark (✅).

To update the icon, we use the update method of the pages endpoint. The update method takes an object as its argument, where we provide the page_id and the new icon emoji value.

That’s it! You have successfully updated the icon emoji of a Notion page using the Notion API.
