3. Configuring the Notion Trigger

Once your Notion account is connected, select the specific page from which you want to pull data. For example, choose the ‘Bug Reports’ page to trigger notifications when new bugs are added. Click ‘Allow Access’ to finalize the connection. using Pabbly Connect

Next, you will be prompted to save and send a test request. Pabbly Connect will fetch the most recent entry from your Notion database, allowing you to verify that the trigger is working correctly. Keep in mind that Notion checks for new data every 8 hours, so the trigger may not be instant.

• You can adjust the trigger time by clicking on the three dots next to the trigger setup.
• Set the trigger time between 90 minutes and 24 hours as needed.

After adjusting the trigger time, click ‘Save’ to confirm your settings. This step ensures that your Pabbly Connect workflow is set up correctly to monitor for new database items.

4. Setting Up Discord to Send Messages

Now that your Notion trigger is configured, it’s time to set up Discord as your action application. Search for Discord in Pabbly Connect and select it. Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event to notify your team on Discord whenever a new bug is reported. using Pabbly Connect

To establish the connection, you will need to paste a webhook URL from your Discord server. Follow the instructions provided by Pabbly Connect to retrieve this URL. Ensure that you select the correct channel where the messages should be sent.

Navigate to your Discord server settings and go to ‘Integrations’. Click on ‘View Webhooks’ and either use an existing webhook or create a new one. Copy the webhook URL and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

After entering the webhook URL, you can customize the message format using basic HTML. Map the relevant fields from the Notion trigger to ensure that the message content updates dynamically with each new bug report.

5. Testing and Finalizing the Workflow

With your Discord message setup complete, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the integration works as intended. This action will send a test message to your specified Discord channel, allowing you to confirm that the workflow is functioning correctly.

After sending the test message, check your Discord channel to see if the notification appears as expected. If the message is received, your integration is successful! You can now automate notifications for new bug reports in Notion through Discord.

In summary, by using Pabbly Connect, you have successfully set up an automated workflow that sends Discord messages whenever new items are added to your Notion database. This integration enhances team communication and ensures that everyone is promptly informed about new issues.
