Using Notion as a Signal Subscriber
You can configure your Notion Subscriber to either:
create a new page for each Signal
create a new database entry for each Signal
Option 1: Creating Notion Pages
To create a Notion page from your Avenue Signal requires you to set the following parameters:
Set the
parent_type
property to "Page"Under
properties
, set thetitle
sub-field
You can use template values in your Notion fields. These will fill with data from your Signal when your Signal is created.
Note. If you run your monitor query, you will see a "Columns" option when selecting your Notion field values. The dropdown will provide options from your Signal data columns for you to use as values.
Option 2: Creating a new Database Entry
Adding entries to your notion databases is similar to adding a page but with a few slight changes:
Set the
parent_type
to DatabaseYou must set the
properties
field, and it must match the exact schema of your notion database. Here too, you can use template variables as well as text inputs.
Expert Tip. Don't forget to check that your Notion Subscriber works by sending a test Signal! Use the "Send Test Signal" button on the right and make sure you get the green success popup before saving your Workflow.
