Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a HTTP / Webhook trigger and Notion action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Requests (Payload Only) trigger
1. Connect your HTTP / Webhook account
Configure the Create Page from Database action
1. Connect your Notion account
2. Select a Parent Database ID
3. Optional- Select one or more Meta Types
4. Optional- Select one or more Property Types
5. Configure alert
6. Optional- Configure Page Content
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

New Requests (Payload Only) on HTTP / Webhook

Description:Get a URL and emit the HTTP body as an event on every request

Version:0.1.1

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

Trigger Code#

import http from "../../http.app.mjs";

// Core HTTP component
// Returns a 200 OK response, emits the HTTP payload as an event
export default {
  key: "http-new-requests-payload-only",
  name: "New Requests (Payload Only)",
  // eslint-disable-next-line
  description: "Get a URL and emit the HTTP body as an event on every request",
  version: "0.1.1",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    // eslint-disable-next-line
    httpInterface: {
      type: "$.interface.http",
      customResponse: true,
    },
    http,
  },
  async run(event) {
    const { body } = event;
    this.httpInterface.respond({
      status: 200,
      body,
    });
    // Emit the HTTP payload
    this.$emit({
      body,
    });
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
N/A	`httpInterface`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
HTTP / Webhook	`http`	`app`	This component uses the HTTP / Webhook app.

Trigger Authentication#

The HTTP / Webhook API does not require authentication.

Create Page from Database on Notion

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 .

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Notion	`notion`	`app`	This component uses the Notion app.
Parent Database ID	`parent`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Meta Types	`metaTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`iconcover`
Property Types	`propertyTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

Notion uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Notion account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Notion and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Notion API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
