Template description

This workflow sends the contents of an email to a Notion database. The email must be labeled with a specific label for the workflow to trigger. The email subject will be the title of the Notion page, and a snippet of the email body will be the content of the Notion page. The email link will be added to the Notion page as a property.

Prerequisites

Notion account and Notion credentials.
Google account and Google credentials.

How it works

On scheduled intervals, find all emails with a specific label. For each email, check if the email already exists in the Notion database. If it does not exist, create a new page in the Notion database, otherwise do nothing. When the task in the Notion database is checked off, the label will be removed from the email.

Setup

This workflow requires that you set up a Notion database or use an existing one with at least the following fields:

Title (title)
Thread ID (text)
Email thread (URL)

Additionally, create a label that will be used to trigger the workflow in Gmail. In this workflow, the label is called "Notion".

Pulling data from services that n8n doesn’t have a pre-built integration for

You still can use the app in a workflow even if we don’t have a node for that or the existing operation for that. With the HTTP Request node, it is possible to call any API point and use the incoming data in your workflow Main use cases: Connect with apps and services that n8n doesn’t have integration with Web scraping How it works This workflow can be divided into three branches, each serving a distinct purpose: 1.Splitting into Items (HTTP Request - Get Mock Albums): The workflow initiates with a manual trigger (On clicking 'execute'). It performs an HTTP request to retrieve mock albums data from "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums." The obtained data is split into items using the Item Lists node, facilitating easier management. 2.Data Scraping (HTTP Request - Get Wikipedia Page and HTML Extract): Another branch of the workflow involves fetching a random Wikipedia page using an HTTP request to "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random." The HTML Extract node extracts the article title from the fetched Wikipedia page. 3.Handling Pagination (The final branch deals with handling pagination for a GitHub API request): It sends an HTTP request to "https://api.github.com/users/that-one-tom/starred," with parameters like the page number and items per page dynamically set by the Set node. The workflow uses conditions (If - Are we finished?) to check if there are more pages to retrieve and increments the page number accordingly (Set - Increment Page). This process repeats until all pages are fetched, allowing for comprehensive data retrieval.
