Companies responsible for managing e-commerce sites and inventory are required to manage daily inventory information accurately and quickly.
Although it is an important task, manually transferring inventory information from NEXT ENGINE to Notion can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
This article introduces a method to automatically add inventory information to Notion when it is created in NEXT ENGINE by integrating NEXT ENGINE with Notion.
Let's reduce manual data entry and transcription work to improve operational efficiency.
Recommended for:
- Personnel who use NEXT ENGINE and Notion but find data transcription and information sharing cumbersome
- Administrators aiming to streamline inventory management and automate inventory data management tasks
- Executives using multiple tools who want to improve the transparency of business processes
- Leaders who want to reduce training costs for new employees and part-timers and ensure smooth business handover
- Those who want to strengthen information collaboration between departments and improve the accuracy and speed of overall operations
Benefits and Examples of Integrating NEXT ENGINE and Notion
Benefit 1: Streamlining Inventory Management
Automating operations by integrating NEXT ENGINE and Notion significantly reduces manual data entry and transcription work.
This allows the time previously spent on daily routine tasks to be allocated to other tasks, potentially reducing labor costs and working hours.
For example, companies engaged in e-commerce had to manually enter product inventory data into both NEXT ENGINE and Notion, which made errors likely and required significant time for corrections.
However, by automating this process, employees can be freed from tedious administrative tasks and focus on high-value tasks such as improving product pages and marketing strategies.
Furthermore, as the speed of information updates improves, it becomes possible to make quick decisions using accurate and up-to-date data, leading to an overall improvement in operational efficiency.
Benefit 2: Reducing Training Costs
Traditionally, when managing data manually using multiple systems, it was necessary to teach system operations and data entry rules from scratch, which could prolong the training period, especially for complex procedures.
However, by automatically synchronizing inventory data from NEXT ENGINE to Notion, the tasks new employees need to learn can be simplified.
For example, warehouse staff only need to perform inventory operations in NEXT ENGINE, and the inventory data is automatically reflected in Notion, allowing them to check all necessary information for task management and report creation in Notion.
This eliminates the need to learn different operation methods for each tool, enabling new staff to become accustomed to the job in a short period.
Additionally, preventing confusion and errors caused by switching between tools contributes to improved operational efficiency.
Benefit 3: Enhancing Transparency of Business Processes
Integrating NEXT ENGINE and Notion can enhance the transparency of business processes.
Since inventory information is automatically added to Notion, inventory data and related tasks are centrally visualized, allowing everyone to share the latest information.
This prevents information leaks and communication errors, enabling quick understanding of the progress of operations.
For example, when the logistics team ships a product, that information is timely reflected on Notion's inventory management page, allowing the sales team to check the latest inventory status and respond appropriately to orders.
By clarifying the process in this way, collaboration between departments is strengthened, and overall operations proceed smoothly.
Now, let's explain how to add inventory information to Notion when it is created in NEXT ENGINE using the no-code tool Yoom.

How to Add Inventory Information to Notion When Created in NEXT ENGINE
This can be achieved by receiving inventory information using the NEXT ENGINE API and adding NEXT ENGINE's inventory information to a database using Notion's API.
Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but with the no-code tool Yoom, it can be easily accomplished without programming knowledge.
This time, the process is as follows.
Let's set it up together!
- Integrate NEXT ENGINE and Notion as a My App.
- Copy the template.
- Set the trigger for NEXT ENGINE as the starting point of the flow and configure the subsequent Notion operations.
- Turn on the trigger button and verify the operation of the integration flow between NEXT ENGINE and Notion.
