Trigger a specific event in Notion - Slack <> Notion integration

How To

Hello,

First of all, thank you in advance for your help.
To give you some context, I have a task database on Notion with two fields: a reporter and a fix owner.
I’d like it if when I set a task to “Done”, the reporter of the task is informed on Slack that the task has been completed.

I’ve already tried with the internal automations in Notion as well as trying to go through make but I don’t have the impression that you can trigger an event (in this case the change of status to “Done”) on a database item.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, you can trigger an event on status change via the Notion database automation. And not via the API (Make) currently, you’re correct - because the Notion API doesn’t have webhooks at the moment.

So, if using Make, you would need to find a way to regularly poll the database for changes, make the automation continue only when appropriate, and send a Slack notification
