Convenia Overview#

The Convenia API offers a suite of HR management functionalities, allowing for the automation of employee onboarding, payroll management, and other HR tasks. By integrating with Convenia via Pipedream, you can streamline HR operations, sync employee data across applications, and trigger actions based on various HR events. Pipedream's serverless platform facilitates the creation of complex workflows to interact with the Convenia API, enabling developers and HR professionals to build custom automations without managing infrastructure.

Create Page from Database Overview#

The Notion Create Page from Database action allows you to add pages to a Notion Database.

This action features easy to use dropdowns that automatically populate your databases as well as your database's properties, also known as columns.

This action interacts with the Notion create a Page API endpoint. The Database selected in the Parent Database ID is used as the parent_id parameter to that endpoint so the page is added to your databaset .
