Send a message in Telegram when a row is added to a database in Notion

What each client fills in

Telegram: Chat ID

For example -1001234567890 or @channel

Notion: Data source ID

For example the database’s settings → Manage data sources → Copy data source ID

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

• 

  notion.so/profile/integrations → New integration (Internal) in the client’s workspace → Capabilities: Read content, Insert content and Update content (the row update needs the last) → copy the secret. Then open the database → ••• → Connections → add the integration.

• Telegram

  In Telegram, message @BotFather → /newbot → copy the token. Add the bot to the client’s group, or have the client message it once.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

1. Connect the client’s Notion, for “A row is added to a database”
2. Connect the client’s Telegram, for “Send a message”
3. Fill in Notion: Data source ID (For example the database’s settings → Manage data sources → Copy data source ID)
4. Fill in Telegram: Chat ID (For example -1001234567890 or @channel)
