To sync Microsoft Outlook to Notion automatically, we will utilize Pabbly Connect. First, access the Pabbly Connect website and sign in or sign up for a free account. This process is quick and allows you to manage up to 100 tasks free every month.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you’ll find options to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow (for example, ‘Sync Microsoft Outlook to Notion’), and select a folder to save it. This sets the stage for your integration.

2. Configuring the Trigger Application: Microsoft Office 365

The first step in the integration is to configure the trigger application using Pabbly Connect. Choose Microsoft Office 365 as your trigger application. This allows you to capture new emails as they arrive in your Outlook account.

For the trigger event, select ‘New Mail’. This means that every time you receive a new email, it will trigger the workflow. You will need to connect your Microsoft Office 365 account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and then adding a new connection. Once you log in and grant access, your connection will be successful, enabling you to capture email details.

3. Setting Up the Action Application: Notion

After configuring the trigger, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to set up the action application. Select Notion as your action application. This allows you to send email details directly to your Notion database.

For the action event, choose ‘Create Database Item’. You will need to connect your Notion account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and adding a new connection. After successful connection, select the database in Notion where you want to store the email details. This is crucial for organizing your emails in a structured manner.

• Select the Outlook emails database from your Notion account.
• Map the fields such as sender name, email address, subject, and email body.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is set up correctly.

After mapping the fields, you can test the integration by sending a new email to your Outlook account. This will help confirm that the details are being captured correctly in your Notion database.

4. Mapping Email Details from Outlook to Notion

Mapping email details is a crucial step in the integration process using Pabbly Connect. This involves taking the information from the new email and ensuring it is transferred to the correct fields in your Notion database.

In the mapping section, select the necessary fields from the response of your Microsoft Office 365 trigger. You will map the subject, sender’s email address, sender’s name, and email body to the corresponding fields in your Notion database. This ensures that every new email is logged accurately.

• Map the subject of the email to the subject field in Notion.
• Map the sender’s email address to the email address field.
• Map the sender’s name and email body as needed.

After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send’ to test the integration. This will check if the email details are being added to your Notion database as intended.

5. Verifying Integration Success

Once you have set up the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect, it’s essential to verify that the integration works correctly. To do this, send a test email to your Outlook account and check your Notion database for the new entry.

If everything is configured correctly, you should see the new email details, including the sender’s name, email address, subject, and body, reflected in your Notion database. This confirms that the integration is functioning as expected and that you are syncing Microsoft Outlook to Notion automatically.

To summarize, you have successfully created a workflow in Pabbly Connect that captures new emails from Microsoft Outlook and adds them to your Notion database. This automation not only saves time but also helps maintain an organized record of your emails.
