Notion Database Query Optimiser

What it does

Analyses Notion database views and filters, then recommends adjustments (properties, rollups, filters, grouping) to improve performance for large workspaces.

Why I recommend it

Teams often blame Notion when the real problem is inefficient views. Automated audits provide actionable fixes.

Expected benefits

  • Faster load times for large databases
  • Happier teams who stay in Notion
  • Guidance on database architecture
  • Reduced support tickets from users

How it works

Export view configurations via Notion API -> evaluate property count, formula complexity, filter stacking -> Claude suggests optimisations like splitting databases, using synced blocks, or archiving stale entries -> send report to workspace admins.

Quick start

Clone a problematic database, test view adjustments manually, and document improvements to feed AI prompts.

Level-up version

Automate archiving of stale records, auto-generate lightweight dashboards, and maintain a change log for governance.

Tools you can use

Workspace: Notion

Automation: Notion API, Make, Zapier

AI: Claude

Analytics: Google Sheets for metrics

Also works with

ClickUp views, Airtable optimisation suggestions.

Technical implementation solution

  • No-code: Export via Notion CSV -> analyse with Apps Script -> Claude comment summary -> email workspace admins.
  • API-based: Scheduled script pulls metadata -> AI analysis -> writes report to Notion database + Slack.

Where it gets tricky

Complex relational setups, permissions for reading private databases, and ensuring suggestions align with each team’s workflow.
