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.

Trigger#

New Database on Notion

Description:Emit new event when a database is created. Note: Databases must be shared with your Pipedream Integtration to trigger event.

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";
import constants from "../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "notion-new-database",
  name: "New Database",
  description: "Emit new event when a database is created. Note: Databases must be shared with your Pipedream Integtration to trigger event.",
  version: "0.0.8",
  type: "source",
  async run() {
    const databases = [];
    const params = this.lastCreatedSortParam();
    const lastCreatedTimestamp = this.getLastCreatedTimestamp();

    do {
      const response = await this.notion.listDatabases(params);

      for (const database of response.results) {
        if (!this.isResultNew(database.created_time, lastCreatedTimestamp)) {
          params.start_cursor = null;
          break;
        }
        databases.push(database);
      }

      params.start_cursor = response.next_cursor;
    } while (params.start_cursor);

    databases.reverse().forEach((database) => {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(
        database,
        constants.types.DATABASE,
        constants.timestamps.CREATED_TIME,
        constants.summaries.DATABASE_ADDED,
      );
      this.$emit(database, meta);
    });

    const lastCreatedTime = databases[databases.length - 1]?.created_time;
    if (lastCreatedTime) {
      this.setLastCreatedTimestamp(Date.parse(lastCreatedTime));
    }
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Notion	`notion`	`app`	This component uses the Notion app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger 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:

Ninox Overview#

The Ninox API allows you to interact programmatically with the Ninox database platform. By harnessing this API via Pipedream, you can automate data entry, synchronize databases with other apps, and trigger actions based on specific events within your Ninox tables. It facilitates bidirectional communication, ensuring your data flows seamlessly between Ninox and other services in your tech stack. From sending notifications based on Ninox triggers to processing and analyzing data from other sources within Ninox, the possibilities are extensive.
