• Click on ‘Create’ to initialize your workflow.
• You will see two windows open: one for the trigger and another for the action.

In this workflow, the trigger will be set to schedule the automation every day at a specific time. The action will involve connecting Notion and Discord through Pabbly Connect to send messages automatically.

3. Setting the Schedule Trigger

To set the trigger, select ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ as your trigger application. This feature allows you to run workflows at your preferred times. Choose the frequency as ‘Every Day’ and specify the time, for example, 10 AM. using Pabbly Connect

Once you have configured the time, click on ‘Save’. This schedules your workflow to run automatically at the designated time each day. This setup ensures that you can send messages to your Discord channel without manual intervention.

Next, add an action step to fetch the current date using the ‘DateTime Formatter’ application in Pabbly Connect. This step ensures that the workflow retrieves the current date every time it runs.

• Select the action event as ‘Current Date’ and click on ‘Connect’.
• Choose the date format as ‘Year-Month-Day’ and save your settings.

After saving, run a test to confirm that the current date is retrieved correctly. This dynamic date will be used to query your Notion database for tasks scheduled for that specific day.

5. Querying the Notion Database

Now, add another action step to query your Notion database. Select ‘Notion’ as the action application and choose the action event ‘Query a Database’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Notion account.

Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion pages by selecting the relevant pages and clicking ‘Allow Access’. Choose the database that contains your tasks, and set filter conditions to retrieve tasks based on the current date fetched in the previous step.

Map the current date to the filter condition to ensure it retrieves tasks for that specific day. After configuring, click on ‘Save’ and send a test request to verify the data retrieval.

This step ensures that every day, Pabbly Connect fetches the relevant tasks from your Notion database automatically.
