Getting Started#

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

Select this integration
Configure the New Database trigger
1. Connect your Notion account
2. Configure timer
Configure the Download File To /tmp action
1. Connect your Helper Functions account
2. Configure Download File URL
3. Configure Target Filename

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.

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:

Helper Functions Overview#

The Helper Functions app on Pipedream is a set of pre-built functions that streamline common tasks in your workflows. It acts like a Swiss Army knife for developers, providing essential tools such as format conversion, date manipulation, and text processing. By leveraging these functions, you can reduce the boilerplate code needed for routine operations, speeding up the development of intricate automations. The Helper Functions API can be a game changer when it comes to tasks like parsing dates in user-friendly formats, encoding and decoding data, or generating UUIDs, making them more efficient and less error-prone.

Action Code#

import helper_functions from "../../helper_functions.app.mjs";
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";
import fs from "fs";

export default {
  key: "helper_functions-download-file-to-tmp",
  name: "Download File To /tmp",
  description: "Downloads a file to [your workflow's /tmp directory](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs/working-with-files/#the-tmp-directory)",
  version: "0.3.0",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    helper_functions,
    url: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Download File URL",
      description: "Enter the URL of the file to download",
    },
    filename: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Target Filename",
      description: "The filename that will be used to save in /tmp",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      url, filename,
    } = this;

    const resp = await axios($, {
      url,
      responseType: "arraybuffer",
    });

    /**
     * Saves file to /tmp folder and exports file's file name and file path,
     */
    const rawcontent = resp.toString("base64");
    const buffer = Buffer.from(rawcontent, "base64");
    const downloadedFilepath = `/tmp/${filename}`;
    fs.writeFileSync(downloadedFilepath, buffer);

    const filedata = [
      filename,
      downloadedFilepath,
    ];

    return filedata;
  },
};

Action Configuration#
