    2. Extract Name and Email: The workflow extracts the user's name and email from the incoming request.
    3. Check User Existence: It checks if the user already exists in the Notion database based on their email.
    4. Query User: If the user exists, it retrieves their current data, including associated semesters.
    5. Create User: If the user does not exist, a new entry is created in the Notion database.
    6. Query Current Semester: The workflow queries the current semester from the Notion database.
    7. Select Semester ID: It captures the ID of the current semester for future updates.
    8. Merge Semester ID: The workflow prepares to update the user's semester association.
    9. Concatenate Semester IDs: It combines the current semester ID with any existing semester associations for the user.
    10. Update Semester for User: Finally, it updates the user’s record in Notion with the new semester associations.
