When adding a new connection, you will need to grant permissions to Pabbly Connect to access specific pages in your Notion account. Select the appropriate page, such as your bug reports page, and click ‘Allow Access’.

Once connected, the database ID will be automatically selected. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the last response from your Notion database. Remember that Notion operates on a polling basis and may take up to 8 hours to check for new data.

Select your desired channel for message notifications. Copy the webhook URL and paste it back into Pabbly Connect.

Now, you can customize the message content, using basic HTML format for the message. Map the fields from the previous response to ensure dynamic content updates with each new bug report.

5. Testing and Finalizing Your Workflow

After setting up the message content, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test your configuration. You should receive a confirmation that the message has been sent successfully to your Discord channel.

Check your Discord channel to verify that the message appears as intended. The message should include the bug title, description, and priority, formatted correctly according to your specifications.
