Notion Automate

Target Audience

• Developers: Those who manage GitHub repositories and need to track issues efficiently.
• Project Managers: Individuals who want to streamline issue management across platforms.
• Notion Users: People who utilize Notion for project management and documentation.
• Automation Enthusiasts: Users interested in automating workflows between GitHub and Notion.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of integrating GitHub issue tracking with Notion, allowing users to:

• Automatically create and update Notion database entries when GitHub issues are created, edited, closed, or reopened.
• Ensure all relevant issue information is captured and easily accessible in Notion, reducing manual entry and potential errors.

Workflow Steps

1. Trigger on Issues: The workflow starts manually or when an issue event occurs in GitHub (e.g., opened, edited).
2. IF Condition: Checks if the action is 'opened'. If true, it creates a new database page in Notion.
3. Create Database Page: A new page is created in the Notion database with the issue title and ID.
4. Create Custom Notion Filters: For actions other than 'opened', it generates filters to find the corresponding Notion page by Issue ID.
5. Find Database Page: Searches for the existing database page based on the filters created.
6. Switch: Based on the action type (edited, deleted, closed, reopened), it directs the flow to the appropriate node:
   • Edit Issue: Updates the Notion page with the new title.
   • Delete Issue: Archives the Notion page.
   • Close Issue: Marks the issue as closed in Notion.
   • Reopen Issue: Updates the status to reopen the issue in Notion.
