To create a note in OneNote from Notion items, first, we need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows us to automate workflows between applications like Notion and OneNote without any coding.

Visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing the URL Pabbly.com/connect. Here, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. New users can create an account and receive 100 free tasks every month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard where you can manage your workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your automation.

• Provide a name for your workflow, such as ‘Create OneNote Note from Notion Database’.
• Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

Now, you will see two sections for setting up your trigger and action. The trigger will be Notion, and the action will be OneNote. This setup is crucial for automating the process using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Notion as the Trigger

For the trigger application, select Notion. The trigger event will be ‘New Database Item’, which means that every time a new item is added to your Notion database, it will trigger the workflow.

Click on ‘Connect Now’ to establish a connection with your Notion account. If you do not have an existing connection, choose ‘Add New Connection’. Once connected, select the database you want to monitor, such as ‘Google Calendar Events’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor your Notion database for new entries.

4. Configuring OneNote as the Action

Next, we need to set up OneNote as the action application. Search for OneNote and select it. The action event will be ‘Create HTML Note in Section’. This allows Pabbly Connect to create a note in a specified section of your OneNote account.

• Click ‘Connect Now’ to link your OneNote account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your OneNote account.
• Select the notebook and section where you want the new note to be created.

By mapping the data from Notion to OneNote, you ensure that the note reflects the most current information from your Notion database, facilitating seamless integration through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing

After setting up the action, it is crucial to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This action sends a request to OneNote to create a note based on the latest data from Notion.

Once the test is successful, check your OneNote account to verify that the note has been created. You should see the title, date, and description accurately populated based on the new entry in your Notion database. This confirms that the automation is working as intended through Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the creation of notes in OneNote from Notion items. This integration streamlines your workflow, ensuring that updates in Notion are reflected instantly in OneNote.
