How to Create a Google Workspace and Notion Integration Flow
Now, let's use a template to create a flow together where "when an employee is registered in Google Workspace, their information is also added to a Notion database"!
Step 1: Register Google Workspace and Notion in My Apps
(1) After logging into Yoom, select "My Apps" from the left column and choose "+ Add".
(2) From the new connection list in My Apps, click on Google Workspace. (3) Click "Sign in with Google" on the screen below.
(4) Select your account and log in with your existing account.
(5) Next, integrate Notion. Click on Notion from the new connection list in Yoom, just like in step (1).
(6) From the access request image, click "Select a Page".
(7) Check the pages you want to allow access to and click "Allow Access".
If Google Workspace and Notion are added to My Apps, the integration is complete! Next, let's set up triggers using the template.
Step 2: Setting Up App Triggers
(1) We will use the template introduced earlier. Click "Try it" on the banner below.
Click on the app trigger "When a user is registered".
(2) From the screen to select the Google Workspace integration account and action, verify that there are no errors in the account information linked with Google Workspace, keep the trigger action as "When a user is registered", and click "Next".
(3) From the app trigger API connection settings, click "Test", and if no error occurs, click "Next".
(4) Similarly to (3), click "Test", and if no error occurs, click "Save".
(5)Next, click on the second button, "Search for users."
(6)Verify the account information you want to link and leave the action as "Search User". Let's set up the system to search for users registered in Google Workspace.
Specify an email address in "Search Item" and select the "Keyword" value from the output.
(7)Once you've set it up, click "Test" and if no errors occur, click "Save."
Step 3: Operate the Database
(1) Next, operate the database in conjunction with Notion. Click "Operate the database".
(2) From the Notion database integration screen, verify the account information linked with Notion, and keep the action as "Add Record". Select the database ID from the options.
Once the input is complete, click "Next". (3) From the detailed settings of database operations, select the values of the records to be added from the output.
Once the selection is complete, click "Save" at the bottom. (4)Finally, click "Turn on the trigger".
This completes the flowbot "Add employee information to Notion's database when an employee is registered in Google Workspace". Well done!
