The Notion integration lets you automate your workspace processes by creating pages, updating content, or pushing data into Notion directly from your workflows.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to connect Notion to your account and set up essential workflow actions, including:
Setting up a Notion trigger
Creating a Notion page
Adding content to an existing Notion page

How to Set Up a Notion Trigger
You can start your automation whenever something happens inside your Notion workspace, such as a new database item being created or an existing item being updated. Follow the below steps to set up a Notion trigger:
