Notion API Production Deployment Checklist

Overview

Structured 12-section checklist for deploying Notion API integrations to production. Covers authentication security, capability scoping, page sharing, rate limit compliance, pagination correctness, error handling, API versioning, retry logic, monitoring, graceful degradation, data validation, and OAuth token lifecycle. Each section maps to a specific failure mode observed in production Notion integrations.

This skill produces a verified pass/fail report. Every item is actionable and testable — no aspirational guidance. Full code examples for each section are in references/code-examples.md.

• Working Notion integration tested in a development workspace
