Getting Started with Notion

3. Alternative Method: Navigate to Settings → Integrations. Find Notion and connect your workspace.

How Notion Triggers Work
Notion triggers are powered by polling. Every 5 minutes, Patient Copilot sends a request to Notion to check for any changes. If it detects a qualifying event (e.g., new database item or an updated page), it triggers your workflow. Setup Instructions: 1. Choose a trigger (e.g., New Database Item). 2. Name your trigger and click Test Trigger. 3. Patient Copilot will retrieve metadata from Notion to enable dynamic field mapping in downstream actions.
Use Case 1: Create Notion Docs from Form Submissions
Goal: Capture form submissions in Notion for project tracking or onboarding. Workflow Setup:
- Filter: Form Name = “Onboarding Form”
- Actions: - Create Database Item (Notion) - Add Comment (Notion) Example: A client submits the onboarding form → A new entry is created in the “Client Onboarding DB” in Notion → A welcome message is added as a comment.
Use Case 2: Sync Appointment Outcomes to Notion Logs
Goal: Maintain an auditable meeting log in Notion. Workflow Setup:
- Trigger: Appointment Status Changed
- Filter: Calendar = “Consultations”
- Actions: - Update Database Item (Notion) - Add Content to Page (Notion) Example: A lead misses their consultation → The relevant database item is updated → Follow-up notes are appended to the page.
Use Case 3: Auto-Generate Proposal Pages
Goal: Create personalized proposal pages when an opportunity advances. Workflow Setup:
- Trigger: Pipeline Stage Changed
- Actions: - Create Page (Notion) - Add Content to Page - Add Comment Example: A deal moves to the “Proposal” stage → A Notion page titled “Proposal for {{contact.name}}” is created with summary content and team mentions.
