  • Content management workflows
  • Team collaboration automation

Core Workflows

1. Form → Notion Database

workflow: "Form to Notion"
trigger: typeform_submission OR google_form

steps:
  1. capture_data:
      fields: [name, email, company, message, source]
      
  2. enrich_data:
      clearbit: lookup_by_email
      append: [company_size, industry]
      
  3. create_notion_page:
      database_id: "leads_database"
      properties:
        Name: "{name}"
        Email: "{email}"
        Company: "{company}"
        Status: "New"
        Source: "{source}"
        Created: "{timestamp}"
      content:
        - heading: "Contact Details"
        - text: "{message}"
        - divider
        - heading: "Enriched Data"
        - text: "Industry: {industry}, Size: {company_size}"
        
  4. notify:
      slack:
        channel: "#new-leads"
        message: "New lead: {name} from {company}"

2. Notion → Email Digest

workflow: "Weekly Notion Digest"
schedule: "Monday 9am"

steps:
  1. query_notion:
      database: "Tasks"
      filter:
        - property: "Due Date"
          date: this_week
        - property: "Status"
          not_equals: "Done"
          
  2. group_by_assignee:
      method: aggregate
      
  3. generate_digest:
      for_each: assignee
      template: |
        Hi {assignee},
        
        Here are your tasks for this week:
        
        {for task in tasks}
        • {task.title} - Due: {task.due_date}
        {endfor}
        
        Total: {task_count} tasks
        
  4. send_emails:
      to: each_assignee
      subject: "Your Weekly Task Digest"

3. Slack → Notion Task

workflow: "Slack to Notion Task"
trigger: slack_reaction (✅ emoji)

steps:
  1. capture_message:
      extract: [text, author, channel, timestamp, thread]
      
  2. parse_task:
      ai_extraction:
        title: extract_action_item
        due_date: extract_date_if_mentioned
        priority: infer_from_context
        
  3. create_notion_task:
      database: "Tasks"
      properties:
        Title: "{extracted_title}"
        Status: "To Do"
        Source: "Slack - #{channel}"
        Assignee: "{slack_user_to_notion_user}"
        Due Date: "{due_date}"
        Priority: "{priority}"
      content:
        - quote: "{original_message}"
        - text: "Created from Slack message"
        - link: "{slack_permalink}"
        
  4. thread_reply:
      slack:
        thread_ts: "{timestamp}"
        message: "✅ Task created in Notion: {notion_url}"

4. Calendar Sync

workflow: "Google Calendar ↔ Notion"
trigger: bidirectional

google_to_notion:
  trigger: calendar_event_created

    - create_notion_page:
        database: "Meetings"

          Date: "{event.start}"
          Attendees: "{event.attendees}"
          Location: "{event.location}"
          Calendar Link: "{event.link}"

notion_to_google:
  trigger: notion_page_created
  filter: database == "Meetings"
  action:
    - create_calendar_event:
