Notion – Triggers

What will start your automation…

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

See Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

Setting up the recurrence rule or scheduler of your Trigger (if the Trigger is not a Webhook):

  • Regular intervals will monitor your Trigger by intervals in minute
  • Daily recurrence will monitor your Trigger by day and hour
  • Monthly recurrence will monitor your Trigger every month on a defined date and hour
  • Yearly recurrence will monitor your Trigger on a specific date and hour every year
  • Specific dates will start your Trigger on specific dates

After you’ve configured your Trigger parameters, select the “Use” button to fetch a live sample of data from the Trigger.

What it does:

  • Extracts real data based on your Trigger setup
  • Validates your parameters by showing if they match existing records
  • Prepares data for field mapping – the sample helps you map your Trigger output to your Method parameters in the Flow. Refer to FIELD MAPPING documentation.

Think of it as a preview step: it makes sure your Trigger is working and gives you real data to work with when setting up the rest of your flow.

These Triggers will start your Flow automatically at a specific time or intervals instead of being triggered real-time event (Webhooks).



After setting up your Flow, you can choose to:

  • Run once”, your Flow will run only a single time. You can use this function to test your Flow. Refer to how to set up an HTTP Trigger, in the “Create a Flow” step.
  • Run Scheduler” will automate your Flows with the recurrence rule you previously defined.


For more details, refer to How to run a Flow tutorial in our Help Center.
 
If you are using a Webhook Trigger, the Flow will initiate automatically when a webhook is received from your connected apps. This means that the Flow is automated without a scheduler and will run until you deactivate the Flow manually. Refer to Webhook documentation in our Help Center.
