Notion is a versatile tool that combines note-taking, task management, databases, and collaboration into a single platform. It allows teams and individuals to organize and track their work, create detailed project documentation, and share ideas in a structured and visually engaging way.

Integrating Notion with Wiresk adds value by enabling automation of routine tasks and syncing data between Notion and other tools in your ecosystem. This can improve productivity by reducing manual data entry and ensuring information is always up-to-date across platforms.

Prerequisite:
To use Notion with Wiresk, you must have a Notion account. See official Website https://www.notion.com.
For developers, see Notion API endpoint documentation here.

A connection to your Notion account is needed so we can sync it with our platform.

There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

In this documentation, we will explain how to create a connection in “My apps” section, it is essentially the same as when creating it on-the-go.

On the left panel of Wiresk user interface, go to “My apps” and click on the (+) button. 

  • Search “Notion” in the search field or scroll down the list of apps and choose the Notion icon.

A – Select the Trigger

Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
  • On the new screen, name the Flow that you want to create.
  • Add your Trigger by clicking on the red plus (+) Add button.
