Before We Start…

⚠️ Make sure your database(s) are created in Notion before registering with Yoom. 

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 retrieve ① Minutes as texts to be summarized from Notion, and add the generated summary into ② Summary.

Step 3: Set Up Notion Trigger

Let’s set up the trigger action to activate when a record in Notion database is created or updated. Click on the Notion trigger action.

__wf_reserved_inherit

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

__wf_reserved_inherit

Set your trigger interval (how often you want Yoom to check Notion for new 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.

__wf_reserved_inherit

Select the Database ID from the displayed options. (This is where you specify which database you want to check for updates.) 

Once set, click “Test”.

__wf_reserved_inherit

If the test succeeds, click “Save”.

Step 4: Retrieve Data from Notion

Next, let’s set up to retrieve records from Notion. Click on the Notion action item.

__wf_reserved_inherit

__wf_reserved_inherit

Set up the following sections.

Set Conditions to Find Records to Update

  • Choose the conditions that must be met for the record to be updated.
  • The tool will find the first matching record and update it. If multiple records match, only the first one in the list will be updated.

For this example, we select Record ID.

__wf_reserved_inherit

Define New Values to Update

  • Specify the new values for the record you want to update. If a field is left blank, it will not be updated.
  • For this example, we want to reflect the summarized minutes generated by Perplexity, so we select from the retrieved value as shown below.

Once you’ve completed the entry, click "Test".
After a successful test, the Notion record will be updated. Once the update is confirmed, click "Save".
