What are you trying to achieve?

I want to automate one of my databases i Notion so that every time I set the status on one of the items in the database to a specific status it will send a message to a channel in Discord.

Steps taken so far

I am completely new to this integration and haven’t gotten very far. I have only connected my database with the make integration.

Hello @asskil and welcome to the Make Community!

First off, please check out the Make Academy and get a basic familiarity with the product and learn what is possible. 🟣 Make Academy: Course Overview

You can break your scenario into two parts.

  1. Watch Notion for changes and take action only when Status = Specific Status.
    Something to keep in mind: do you want it to fire every time an object’s status changes to that specific status, or only once in the lifetime of that object?
  2. Send Discord message.

For part 1, you need a module that can watch for changes.
You might be able to use a Notion “Watch Database Items” module as the first/trigger module in your scenario.
Set it to watch database items “By updated time”.
When you save the properties on the module for the first time, or when you right-click it and select “Choose where to start”, you will have the option to select a specific item from your database for you to test with.
Right-click your module and select “Run this module only”.
This will run it once and get you an example of the output so you can begin mapping data in other modules.

Part 2 after you nail down part 1 :slight_smile:

Thanks Donald. I know it was a bit lazy of me to post it here instead of taking the time to properly familiarize myself with Make. I am however very grateful for your reply and look forward to trying it out :slight_smile:
