How to connect Notion and Zendesk

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.

Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Notion and Zendesk integration: Create a new workflow and add the first step

Create AI FAQ articles from Slack threads into Notion and Zendesk

Create FAQ articles from Slack threads to Notion and Zendesk This workflow helps you capture "tribal knowledge" shared in Slack conversations and automatically converts it into structured documentation. By simply adding a specific reaction (default: 📚) to a message, the workflow aggregates the thread, uses AI to summarize it into a Q&A format, and publishes it to your knowledge base (Notion and Zendesk). Who is this for? Customer Support Teams who want to turn internal troubleshooting discussions into public help articles. Knowledge Managers looking to reduce the friction of documentation. Development Teams wanting to archive technical decisions made in Slack threads. What it does Trigger: Watches for a specific emoji reaction (📚 :book:) on a Slack message. Data Collection: Fetches the parent message and all replies in the thread to get the full context. AI Processing: Uses OpenAI to analyze the conversation, summarize the solution, and format it into a clear Question & Answer structure. Publishing: Creates a new page in a Notion database with tags and summaries. (Optional) Drafts a new article in Zendesk. Notification: Replies to the original Slack thread with links to the newly created documentation. Requirements n8n (Self-hosted or Cloud) Slack workspace (with an App installed that has permissions to read channels and reactions). OpenAI API Key. Notion account with an Integration Token. Zendesk account (optional, can be removed if not needed). How to set up Configure Credentials: Set up authentication for Slack, OpenAI, Notion, and Zendesk in n8n. Setup Notion: Create a database in Notion with the following properties: Name (Title) Summary (Text/Rich Text) Tags (Multi-select) Source (URL) Channel (Select or Text) Update Configuration Node: Open the Workflow Configuration1 node (Set node) and replace the placeholder values: slackWorkspaceId: Your Slack Workspace ID (e.g., T01234567). notionDatabaseId: The ID of your Notion database. zendeskSectionId: (Optional) The ID of the section where articles should be created. Slack App Scopes: Ensure your Slack App has the following scopes: reactions:read, channels:history, groups:history, chat:write. How to customize Change the Trigger: If you prefer a different emoji (e.g., 📝 or 💡), update the "Right Value" in the IF - :book: Reaction Check node. Modify the Prompt: Edit the OpenAI node to change how the AI formats the answer (e.g., ask it to be more technical or more casual). Remove Zendesk: If you don't use Zendesk, simply delete the Zendesk node and remove the reference to it in the final Slack - Notify Completion node.
