Overview:
If your widget isn’t displaying properly in Notion, loads slowly, or shows outdated data, this guide walks you through the most common causes and quick fixes.
1. Widget Not Loading
Possible Causes:
-
Internet connection issues
-
Browser restrictions (ad-blockers or extensions)
-
Notion not allowing iframe embeds on certain networks
Fixes:
-
Refresh your Notion page.
-
Temporarily disable browser extensions and reload.
-
Test the same page in a different browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari).
-
Make sure the embed link you’re using is the full, correct Actions.so link.
2. Outdated or Incorrect Data
Possible Causes:
-
Notion database not synced
-
Wrong database or property selected in widget settings
Fixes:
-
Open the widget in Actions.so and verify it’s linked to the correct database.
-
Check the property type (e.g., number, date) matches the widget’s requirements.
-
Refresh the widget embed by regenerating the link in Actions.so.
3. Widget Formatting Looks Wrong in Notion
Possible Causes:
-
Widget size not adjusted in Notion
-
Conflicting Notion column layout
Fixes:
-
Click the widget inside Notion and drag to resize.
-
Use full-width page mode in Notion for better visuals.
-
Recheck widget font size and alignment in Actions.so before embedding.
4. Slow Loading Widgets
Possible Causes:
-
Large Notion database with too much data
-
Weak internet connection
Fixes:
-
Reduce the database size by filtering only the needed rows for the widget.
-
Try the page on a faster network to confirm speed issues.
Pro Tip:
If all else fails, copy your current widget settings in Actions.so, delete the widget, and create a fresh one — this often resolves unexpected embed glitches.
