Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Notion, Grist, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Notion and Grist integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Notion and Grist (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Notion and Grist
Notion + Grist + Slack: When a new page is created in a Notion database, its content is summarized and added as a new record in a Grist document. Then, a daily digest of these new Grist records is sent to a designated Slack channel.
Grist + Notion + Google Calendar: When a new record is created or updated in Grist, a corresponding page is created in a Notion database. Then, a follow-up task is scheduled in Google Calendar to review the new Notion page.
