Automation from Notion to Google Calendar

How To
,
1

Hello,

I have a Notion database where I list household tasks. There are two columns at least: “Action” (with values “Do” when it changes on a specific date, and “Ok” when no Google Calendar entry is needed). In Make, I want to trigger an automation when any row in the Notion database is updated to “Do”.

The filter works fine during test runs, but it doesn’t trigger during actual operation. Could you please help me understand what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you!

Hi,
Is the issue that when you update a Notion database item, it doesn’t get picked up by the “Watch database items” module in Make? Or something else? You may check this from the Scenario History tab.

As a side note, I think it could be more effective to use a Webhook as a trigger. In Notion, you could create a Database Automation that gets triggered when the “Action” property is “set to” “Do”. And the Action would be “Send webhook”. Anyways, we can first resolve the original question and then you may consider this alternative option if you like

  1. Thanks for your answer!
  2. I can’t enable webhook because of my free version of Make
  3. In test mode of the scenario when I manually change date, it changed to “Do”, scenario doesn’t work. But when I put more than 1 day, it works…
