🚀 Let’s Create a Flow to Summarize Notion Data with Dify

Let's walk through <span class="mark-yellow">how to set up a flow that automatically summarizes Notion with Dify and update the Notion database with the generated summary</span>.

⏱️ Setup time: 10 minutes

🔧 What You’ll Need

• A free Yoom account
• Access to Gmail & Gemini

If you don’t have a Yoom account yet, register now from this registration form!

⚠️ Note: The branch command function used in this Flowbot is only available on Yoom’s paid plans. If you’re using the Free plan, the Flowbot may face errors due to limited access. But don’t worry - all plans have a 2-week free trial!  You can try all features without restrictions. For more info about Yoom and its plans, visit our Yoom Help Center. 

Step 1: Connect Notion and Dify in Yoom

Let's start with registering Notion and Dify in Yoom.

⚠️ Note: Databases created after registering with Yoom cannot be linked, so make sure to prepare the database you plan to use before registering in My Apps. If you’ve already linked it with Yoom but need to use a new database, you’ll need to register in My Apps again.

For this example, we will use the database below. The goal is to summarize the content using Dify.

Connect Notion

After logging into Yoom, go to "My Apps" from the left side menu and click "+ Add". Search for Notion in the app list and select it.

Log in to your Notion account.

When the following screen appears, click "Select Pages".

Select the page(s) to grant access to the database and click "Allowing Access".

Connect Dify

Similarly, go to "My Apps" from the left side menu, and click the "+ Add" button. Search for "Dify" from the app list and select it.

Enter the account name. Use a name that's easy to recognize, such as your company name or the person responsible for the account.

To get the access token, refer to this guide for the detailed steps.

Once all the required fields are filled in, click "Add" to complete registration.

Once both apps are connected, you’ll see them listed under “My Apps”.Now, you’re ready for automation :)

Step 2: Copy the Template

Click the "Try It" button to copy the pre-built template into your project.

Click "Try this template".

Click "OK" and give the Flowbot a name to recognize.

The template will be copied to your "My Project".

Step 3: Set Up Notion Trigger

Select "When a page in a specific database is created or updated"

Give your trigger a title (optional). Confirm the pre-configured settings, and click “Next”.

Trigger Interval

• Set your trigger interval (frequency of sync) on how frequently Yoom checks Notion for updates.
• It can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
• We recommend setting the trigger to the shortest activation interval available for your plan.

⚠️ Note: The trigger interval varies depending on your Yoom plan. Be sure to check your current plan’s limit.

Database ID

• Enter the Notion Database ID you created earlier.
• This is where you want Yoom to check for updates.

Once you've completed the settings, run a test.

If the test is successful, the retrieved value will be updated. If the retrieved value matches the information in Notion, then click "Save".

📚 Reference: For more details on retrieved values and how to set it up, see the guide here.

Step 4: Branch Settings

Select "Command Operation".

This time, we will set up a branch trigger for when a database in a specified page is created or updated in Notion.

So we will set it as below. Click on the input field, and select “last updated date” “equals” “Created Date and Time”. You can also customize the branch conditions according to your needs. 

Once all settings are done, click “Save”.

Step 5: Retrieve Database Records

Select the Notion action labeled "Operate Database".

Same as before, give an action a title (optional). Confirm the pre-configured settings and click “Next”.

Select the "Database ID" from the displayed options.

‍

We need to set the search conditions to retrieve a single record that matches the specified criteria from the Notion database. For this example, we will set up the search conditions to “Record ID” “equals” “Object ID”. Only records that match the “Record Condition” in Notion with the retrieved “Object ID” will be fetched.

Once the setup is complete, run a test.

If the test is successful, the retrieved values will be updated. Finally, click "Save" and proceed to the next step.

Step 6: Set Up Dify Action

Next, let’s set up the Dify action.
Click "Send Chat Message".

Same as before, give an action a title (optional). Confirm the settings, and click “Next”.

Click inside the box, and select “text” from Notion’s retrieved value of the previous action.
Verify that the body box gets updated as shown below.

You can add instructions as below.

⬇️ The “text” is the text data from the Notion database.

Set the user.

Entering a new value like 'user123' will start a chat as a new user, while entering an existing user's ID will allow you to continue the chat with that user's history.

Step 7: Update Database Records

Click "Operate Database”.‍

Specify the Notion database for updating records. Select the same Database ID set in Step 5. Once the setting is complete, click “Next”.

Let’s set up the conditions to find records to update. It’s recommended to select from the retrieved value. For this case, we select the “Object ID” (serving as the unique key).

Now let’s specify what data to add to Notion.
In this case, we want to add the summarized content from Dify into Notion.

So we will select "Response Content" to quote Dify output in the Notion database.

Once set, click "Test".

If the test is successful, click "Save".

Step 8: Activate the Flowbot

Toggle the "Trigger On" button to activate your flow!

Check if the Flowbot you set up is working properly.

That’s it! Your Flowbot is complete!
