Send an email in SendGrid when a row is changed in Notion

What each client fills in

SendGrid: From address

For example hello@northside.example

Who it goes to (SendGrid)

The address that gets it: yours, or the client’s team.

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.

• 

  SendGrid → Settings → API Keys → Create API Key with Mail Send access; for the triggers, also the Event Webhook settings permission (user.webhooks.event.settings.read and user.webhooks.event.settings.update), or Full Access. The From address must be a verified sender.

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 changed”
2. Connect the client’s SendGrid, for “Send an email”
3. Fill in Notion: Data source ID (For example the database’s settings → Manage data sources → Copy data source ID)
4. Fill in SendGrid: From address (For example hello@northside.example)
5. Fill in Who it goes to (SendGrid) (The address that gets it: yours, or the client’s team)
