HTTP Request and Notion integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for HTTP Request and Notion and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Core Nodes, and Productivity workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect HTTP Request and Notion

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure HTTP Request and Notion nodes

You can find HTTP Request and Notion in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure HTTP Request and Notion nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Automate Competitor Research with Exa.ai, Notion and AI Agents

This n8n workflow demonstrates a simple multi-agent setup to perform the task of competitor research. It showcases how using the HTTP request tool could reduce the number of nodes needed to achieve a workflow like this.

How it works
For this template, a source company is defined by the user which is sent to Exa.ai to find competitors.
Each competitor is then funnelled through 3 AI agents that will go out onto the internet and retrieve specific datapoints about the competitor; company overview, product offering and customer reviews.
Once the agents are finished, the results are compiled into a report which is then inserted in a notion database.

Check out an example output here: https://jimleuk.notion.site/2d1c3c726e8e42f3aecec6338fd24333?v=de020fa196f34cdeb676daaeae44e110&pvs=4

Requirements

An OpenAI account for the LLM.
Exa.ai account for access to their AI search engine.
SerpAPI account for Google search.
Firecrawl.dev account for webscraping.
Notion.com account for database to save final reports.

Customising the workflow

Add additional agents to gather more datapoints such as SEO keywords and metrics.

Not using notion? Feel free to swap this out for your own database.

Automate LinkedIn Outreach with Notion and OpenAI

This template is based on the following template. Thank you for the groundwork, Matheus. How it works: Store your snippets of text in a Notion table. Each snippet should have an image associated with it (copy + pasted into the text) Connect to your table via a Notion "integration", from which N8N can then query your pre-meditated posts The text is fed through an OpenAI assistant to boost engagement via formatting The re-formatted text along with the image pulled from the Notion snippet are combined into a post for your LinkedIn The row in the original Notion table from step 1 containing this post is set to a status of "Done" Set up steps: You will need to create a Notion "integration", which will yield a "secret key" which you enter into your N8N as a "Credential". You will need to create a LinkedIn "app" in order to post on your behalf. When creating your LinkedIn "app", you will be required to link this "app" to a company page on LinkedIn. If you are doing this for yourself, seach for the "Default Company Payge (for API testing)", and select this page as it is provided by LinkedIn for individuals. You can find your LinkedIn apps here, and if you get stuck, further instructions on setting up this workflow (including this LinkedIn OAuth piece) can be found in this YouTube Video Aide to these instructions. Lastly, you will need to create an OpenAI API key, found on your OpenAI Playground Dashboard. Once you created an API key, make sure you have an assistant created from the "Assistants" tab on the OpenAI dashboard. This assistant and its instructions will be needed for carrying out the re-formatting of your post.

Automated Workflow for Daily LinkedIn Posts Using Notion

This workflow automates daily LinkedIn posts using Notion. It starts by fetching the day's post from a Notion database, processes and formats the content, including images, then publishes it on LinkedIn. Finally, it updates the post status in the Notion database. Set up Notion and LinkedIn credentials as required.

2-way sync Notion and Google Calendar

This workflow syncs multiple Notion databases to your Google Calendar. And it works both ways. What events are supported? Everything except recurring events. All day events, multiple day events, start and end date… these are all supported. You set them in Notion and they stay in sync with Google. And vice versa. Why doesn’t it support recurring events? Notion doesn’t support recurring events yet. So when you create a recurring event in Google, it will only consider the first date, ignoring future occurrences of the event. Can I connect more than one Notion database? Yes. You can have many Notion databases synced to one Google Calendar account. You can see how to do it in the workflow instructions. It is recommended that you create more calendars in your account, so that you can link each calendar to a different database in Notion. But that’s a choice. What happens if I delete an event or page? Notion page deleted → Deletes event in Google Notion date property cleared → Deletes event in Google Google event deleted → Clears the date property in Notion, but keeps the page, so you don’t lose your work. Does it update the events? Yes. When you update the event in Google or in Notion it syncs both ways. How can I know what Notion item was linked to an event? Either by the name or by clicking the hyperlink in the event description that says: 👉 View in Notion. When I create a new event in Google, does it add an item to Notion? Yes. When you create an event inside one of your calendars, the item is synced to the corresponding Notion database. Does it sync event descriptions? No. The event description will always be “View in Notion”. Even if you change it in Google Calendar it will be overwritten when you make a change to the Notion page. 🎉 When you buy this template you receive step-by-step instructions on how to set it up.

Provide Real-Time Updates for Notion Databases via Webhooks with Supabase

Purpose This enables webhooks for nearly realtime updates (every 5 seconds) from Notion Databases. Problem Notion does not offer webhooks. Even worse, the “Last edited time” property, we could use for polling, only updates every minute. This gives us a polling interval only as low as 2 minutes and we still need to implement a comparing mechanism to detect changes. Solution This workflow caches states in between while doing efficient polling & comparing. It brings down the update latency from 2 minutes to 5 seconds and also provides the output of the changes only. Demo How it works Database Pages are frequently polled while filtered by a last modified time stamp for more efficiency Retrieved pages get compared with previously cached versions in Supabase Only new and changed pages are pushed to a registered webhook Setup Create a new project in Supabase and import the DB schema (provided through Gumroad) Add a "Last edited time" property to your Notion Database, if it has none yet Define the dynamically generated settings_id from the settings table (Supabase) in the Globals node Define the Notion Database URL in the Globals node Define your custom Webhook URL in the last node where the results should be pushed to It is recommended to call this workflow using this template to prevent simultaneous workflow executions Set the Schedule Trigger to every 5 seconds or less frequent More detailed instructions provided within the workflow file and the illustrated instructions provided during the download Example output [ { "action": "changed", "changes": { "property_modified_at": "2024-06-04T17:59:00.000Z", "property_priority": "important" }, "data": { "id": "ba761e03-7d6d-44c2-8e8d-c8a4fb930d0f", "name": "Try out n8n", "url": "https://www.notion.so/Try-out-n8n-ba761e037d6d44c28e8dc8a4fb930d0f", "property_todoist_id": "", "property_id": "ba761e037d6d44c28e8dc8a4fb930d0f", "property_modified_at": "2024-06-04T17:59:00.000Z", "property_status": "Backlog", "property_priority": "important", "property_due": { "start": "2024-06-05", "end": null, "time_zone": null }, "property_focus": false, "property_name": "Try out n8n" }, "updated_at": "2024-06-04T17:59:42.144+00:00" } ]

Automatically document n8n workflows directly in Notion database

Use case n8n workflows can go out of hand when you're automating as much as we do at n8n. We needed a place to document them and keep track of who owns and maintains them. To facilitate this we use this n8n workflow to automatically sync workflows directly to a Notion database if it has the tag sync-to-notion. How to setup Add your n8n api creds Add your Notion creds Create notion database with fields env id as text, isActive (dev) as boolean, URL (dev) as url, Workflow created at as date, Workflow updated at as date, Error workflow setup as boolean (Make sure page is connected) Add tag sync-to-notion to some workflows
