1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To upload OneDrive files from your Notion database, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to Pabbly.com/c/connect. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect landing page.

If you don’t have an account, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create one. This process will only take a couple of minutes, and you will receive 100 free tasks per month. If you already have an account, simply sign in to continue.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once signed in, you will see the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow.

• Name your workflow according to your objective, such as ‘Upload OneDrive Files from Notion Database.’
• Select the folder where you want to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

This action will open a new window displaying two main boxes: Trigger and Action. The trigger is the event that initiates the workflow, while actions are the tasks that follow. You will set up the trigger first using Notion.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Notion

In the Trigger application box, search for and select Notion. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Database Item.’ This event will trigger whenever a new item is added to your Notion database.

Next, connect Notion with Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection.’ You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion account. After connecting, select the specific database you want to use and click ‘Allow Access.’

Once the connection is successful, you can proceed to your Notion account and create a new row in your chosen database. Fill in the task details and upload your file, which will then trigger the action in Pabbly Connect.

4. Adding Action to Upload Files to OneDrive

After successfully setting up the trigger, it’s time to add the action. In the Action application box, search for and select Microsoft OneDrive. The action event you need to choose is ‘Upload File.’ This action will upload files to your OneDrive account automatically.

Connect Microsoft OneDrive with Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection.’ Authorize the connection by accepting the required permissions. After connecting, select the folder in OneDrive where you want to store the uploaded files.

• Map the file name and file URL from the Notion response.
• Ensure that the details are dynamic to reflect new uploads in real-time.

Once you have mapped all necessary details, save your workflow and send a test request to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

After setting everything up, it’s essential to test your integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. You should receive a response indicating that the file has been uploaded successfully.

To verify, go back to your OneDrive account and refresh the folder where you set up the uploads. You should see the newly uploaded file from your Notion database. This confirms that the integration between Notion and OneDrive via Pabbly Connect is working successfully.

By automating this process, you can ensure that all files uploaded to your Notion database are backed up in OneDrive, creating a centralized storage solution for your project files.
