name

Learn how to use the name function in Notion formulas.

New in Formulas 2.0

The name() function returns the full name of a Person data type.

name(person)
name(personProperty.first())

person.name()
personProperty.first().name()
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

If used on a built-in Created By or Last Edited By property, you can use the function directly like prop("Created By").name(). If used on a created Person property, you’ll need to use the first function as well, even if the property is set to a limit of 1. For example, prop("Assignee").first().name()

name(prop("Created By")) /* Output: "Thomas Frank" */

prop("Assignee").first().name() /* Output: "Thomas Frank" */
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)
