2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged in to Pabbly Connect, create a new workflow to connect Notion and Slack. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Send Slack Messages for Updated Notion Database Items’.

• Select the folder where you want to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow setup.

In the workflow interface, you will see two main boxes: Trigger and Action. The Trigger will be set up first to determine when the automation will occur. Select Notion as your trigger application and proceed to set the trigger event.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Notion

In this step, you will configure the trigger in Pabbly Connect to listen for updates in Notion. Choose ‘Notion’ as your trigger application and select the trigger event as ‘Update Database Item’.

Next, connect your Notion account by clicking on ‘Connect’. You will need to grant Pabbly Connect access to your Notion database by selecting the appropriate pages and allowing access. Once the connection is successful, select your specific database from the dropdown list.

• Open the database tab to find your Notion database.
• Update an item in your Notion database to trigger the event.

After updating the item, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Continue’. You will receive a response containing the updated details from Notion, confirming the integration is working correctly.

4. Setting Up the Action to Send Slack Messages

Now that you have configured the trigger, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. Select Slack as your action application and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message’.

Connect your Slack account by clicking on ‘Connect’. Choose the token type (either user or bot) and allow access. After successfully connecting, select the channel where you want to send the message.

Map the message content using details from the Notion response. Include customer name, email, phone number, order ID, product name, and status in your message.

Once all details are mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should receive a confirmation that the message has been sent successfully to your Slack channel.

5. Testing and Confirming the Integration

After setting up the workflow in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the integration. Go to your Slack channel and verify if the message was sent successfully after updating the Notion database.

You should see a message stating, ‘Hello team, we have successfully delivered a new order with details…’ This confirms that every time an order status is updated in Notion, a message will automatically be sent to the designated Slack channel.

Ensure that the integration is working consistently by updating different items in Notion. Monitor your Slack channel for timely notifications.

With this setup, you have successfully automated the process of sending Slack messages for updated Notion database items using Pabbly Connect. This integration enhances team communication and keeps everyone informed about order statuses.

Conclusion

In summary, using Pabbly Connect allows you to seamlessly send Slack messages for updated Notion database items. By following the steps outlined, you can automate notifications efficiently and keep your team updated in real time.
