Once you click Submit, Notion will generate a Token, which you’ll paste into Automate.io or any other bot tool you’re using.“We have so much time and so little to do. In Settings & Members, go to Integrations at the very bottom and click Develop your own integrations.įrom here, you’ll select + New Integration, Name your new integration, and select the Associated Workspace. The first thing you’ll want to do is create an Integration in Notion. Remember! Both tools have caps on how many bots or ‘zaps’ you can create monthly, so it may be useful to test out a few workflows to find those that are truly helpful, and upgrade if needed. Setting Up IntegrationsĪutomate.io and Zapier are the two most common tools for integrations in testing, Automate was able to do more with sending info to Google Calendar when you update a Task, versus solely creating a new task. In this example, we’re going to send Tasks from Notion to Google Calendar, including some of the Tasks’ properties. Notion housing only the essentials means it’s ultimately easier to maintain, preventing workspace wastelands from accumulating. Whether you’re using work tools like Google Calendar for scheduling, Todoist for task management, or Typeform for creating forms or surveys, the API brings exciting possibilities for receiving, sending, and sharing, information across different tools Sending Notion Info to Other AppsĪ lot of the interest over the past week has been around sending information to Notion. One thing to note: automation tools like Automate and Zapier have caps on the number of bots you can create, so plan to use them intentionally, unless you’re willing to pay for unlimited use. In this example, we’re going to connect Notion and Google Calendar using Automate.io, a powerful automation tool that can connect many well-known apps. Notion is incredibly powerful, but in cases where individuals or teams are using different platforms, it hasn’t been possible (or easy) to share information between apps. Notion users have been pining for the API for a while. API’s can be great resources that save time by avoiding duplicating information and decreasing manual operations.

We won’t get too much into the weeds on API’s, but they essentially allow for different apps to speak to each other, send/receive information, keep multiple apps connected. The day has finally arrived! For Notion users, the release of their API (application programming interface) has been an eagerly awaited moment.
