1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Gmail and Notion Integration

To start sending Google Alerts to Notion automatically, you must first set up Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to connect Gmail and Notion seamlessly. Begin by signing up for a free account on the Pabbly Connect website.

Once registered, log in to your Pabbly Connect account and navigate to the dashboard. Here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the integration process. You can name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Gmail to Notion Automation’.

2. Configuring Gmail as the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you’ll configure Gmail to act as the trigger for your automation using Pabbly Connect. Select Gmail from the list of applications and choose the event that will trigger the workflow, which is ‘New Email.’ This event will activate whenever a new email arrives in your Gmail inbox.

Next, you need to set up the email parser feature in Pabbly Connect. This feature allows you to capture specific emails from your Gmail account. Copy the parser address provided by Pabbly Connect and head to your Gmail settings. Here are the steps to follow:

• Go to Gmail settings and click on ‘See all settings.’
• Navigate to the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab.
• Add the Pabbly Connect parser address as a forwarding address.
• Save changes and confirm the forwarding by checking your Pabbly Connect account for a test email.

After setting up the forwarding address, you will be able to capture incoming emails in your Pabbly Connect workflow.

3. Filtering Emails to Send to Notion Automatically

Now that you’ve set up Gmail as the trigger, the next step is to filter the emails you want to send to Notion using Pabbly Connect. This is crucial to ensure that only relevant emails are captured. You can set a condition to filter emails based on keywords.

In the Pabbly Connect workflow, add a filter step. Choose the subject line of the email as the field to filter. Set the filter type to ‘Contains’ and input your keyword, such as ‘book club.’ This means only emails with the subject containing ‘book club’ will proceed to the next step of the workflow.

4. Setting Up Notion as the Action Application in Pabbly Connect

After filtering the emails, it’s time to set up Notion as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Notion from the application list and choose the action event ‘Create Page.’ This action will create a new page in your Notion database for each filtered email.

To connect Notion with Pabbly Connect, you will need to provide an integration token. Go to your Notion settings, create a new integration, and copy the access token. Paste this token into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. Make sure to select the correct database where you want the email details to be stored.

Map the fields from the Gmail trigger to the corresponding fields in Notion. For instance, map the sender’s email, subject, and body text from the email to the respective fields in your Notion database.

5. Testing and Activating Your Gmail to Notion Automation

The final step is to test your automation to ensure everything is working correctly. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to check if the data is being sent to Notion successfully. You should see a confirmation in your Notion database that the email details have been added.

If the test is successful, your automation is now ready to run in the background! Whenever you receive a new email that matches your filter criteria, it will automatically create a new page in your Notion database with the relevant details.

This setup allows you to manage your Google Alerts efficiently, ensuring that you stay organized and up-to-date with your interests.
