Filter issue with publishing DBitems from Notion to Shopify to Notion

Hi There,
I’m quite new to Make.com and I liek to tool! At this moment I am struggeling with my connections. What I want to achieve is:

  1. I’ve got a Notion database containing blogposts
  2. I want to publish these blogposts to Shopify Blogs based on the following criteria: The Status of the notion item should be “Scheduled” AND the publiceren op (Published on) date should be equal to today or before today.
  3. If an item matches these criteria I want to publish them on Shopify
  4. And I also want to change the Status to “Published”
  5. I also want to let Make check the whole Database in notion if there are any records which match the criteria. And all the matches should go trough the rest of the flow.

Basically I’ve got the connections ready, but the weird thing is that Make seems to ignore the filters. If I put the limit in te watch database items module on 5, it puts al of those items to shopify.

Is anyone familiar with this issue? And could anyone help me with this?

Below the full settings of my flow (and as i mentions earlier, connections with shopify and notion work).

Hi Wesley,
You may use the “Search objects” module directly as the trigger of the scenario, instead of “Watch database items”. “Watch database items” checks for ANY updated database item, and that’s why it’s not working as expected currently.

Hi Simo!

Thank you for your answer! That definitly was the answer :slight_smile:

In the new setup I’ve noticed that when the search object module don’t find any articles in notion, the Shopify Create an article module get’s an error. Saying that some fields must be filled. What could be logical. But is that an issue that it get’s an error? Or how can I prevent that error?

I’ve added an ignore option. Is that the way to go?

You can add a filter right after the “Search objects” module - “page id” exists. This ensures the scenario only continues if something is found in Notion
