1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Notion and OneDrive Integration

In this section, we will learn how to access Pabbly Connect to facilitate the integration between Notion and OneDrive. Begin by signing into your Pabbly Connect account, which will take you to the dashboard where all applications are listed.

Once there, locate the big blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ on the right side. Click on this button and name your workflow, such as ‘Upload Files from Notion Database to OneDrive’. After naming it, click on ‘Create’ to initiate a blank workflow. This is the starting point for setting up your automation.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Next, we will set up the trigger event in Pabbly Connect. The trigger for this integration will be a new item added to your Notion database. Make sure your Notion database is open for easy connection.

• Select ‘Notion’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Database Item’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Notion account.

Once connected, select the database from which you want to fetch details. For instance, if you are working with employee details, select the relevant database and click ‘Allow Access’. This will authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion database.

3. Fetching Data from Notion to Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, you need to fetch the data from Notion into Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to retrieve the information from the database. You should see a response that includes details like the name of the person and the file name that will be uploaded to OneDrive.

Make sure to copy the file link provided in the response, as this link will be used later in the workflow to upload the file to OneDrive. This step confirms that Pabbly Connect is successfully receiving data from Notion.

4. Setting Up the Action to Upload Files to OneDrive

Now, we will set up the action in Pabbly Connect to upload files to OneDrive. Select ‘Microsoft OneDrive’ as the action application and choose ‘Upload File’ as the action event. Ensure you have a designated folder in OneDrive where the files will be uploaded.

• Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to link your OneDrive account.
• Select your desired folder from the list, e.g., ‘Employee Details’.
• Map the file name and file URL from the trigger response.

Ensure that the file name includes the appropriate extension, such as ‘.pdf’ for PDF documents. Once all fields are filled, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the setup. This action will upload the file to OneDrive.

5. Verifying the Upload in OneDrive

The final step is to verify that the file has been successfully uploaded to OneDrive using Pabbly Connect. After sending the test request, you should receive a response indicating that the action was processed.

To confirm the upload, navigate to your OneDrive folder where the files are stored and refresh the page. You should see the uploaded file listed there. Open it to ensure that it matches the file you intended to upload from Notion.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to upload files from Notion databases to OneDrive using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows for seamless automation, ensuring that every new entry in Notion is reflected in OneDrive without any manual effort. By following these steps, you can enhance your workflow efficiency and streamline file management.
