Set the Notion trigger as “Database page added”

Add the Notion trigger to initiate your playbook's actions for new database pages.

To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Select the "Database page added" trigger option from the dropdown menu under Notion. It will enable your playbook to automatically identify newly added database pages and trigger necessary actions.

If you still need to connect your Notion account to Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.

Add the “Send message” step in Slack

Integrate Slack automation into your playbook to ensure that you receive timely updates for new Notion database pages.

Select "Add Step" and then find the "Send message" automation for Slack. Enter all the required details, including the sender's name, the Slack channel for updates, and the message body containing detailed information.

If you still need to connect your Slack account to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Ensure that you allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to send messages through your Slack account.
