Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for project managers, UX designers, and product teams who want to streamline their idea management and communication process. It is particularly useful for teams using Notion for tracking product ideas and Slack for team communication. By automating the reporting of new ideas, teams can stay informed without manual updates, saving time and improving efficiency.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of keeping team members updated on new UX ideas added to a Notion database without the need for manual communication. It automates the process of fetching new entries from Notion and notifying the relevant Slack channel, ensuring that all team members are aware of the latest developments, thus enhancing collaboration and decision-making.

Workflow Steps

  • Schedule Trigger: The workflow initiates automatically based on a defined schedule (e.g., weekly).
    2. Fetch Data from Notion: The workflow retrieves all new entries created in the last 7 days from a specified Notion database.
    3. Filter UX Ideas: It filters the fetched data to keep only the entries categorized as UX ideas.
    4. Summarize Data: The workflow counts the unique UX ideas that meet the filtering criteria.
    5. Send Notification via Slack: Finally, a message is posted in the designated Slack channel, notifying the team of the number of new UX ideas added, enhancing communication and visibility.

    • Customization Guide

  • Adjust the Schedule Trigger: Modify the timing of the Schedule Trigger to fit your team's needs (e.g., daily, weekly).
    2. Change Notion Database: Update the Notion node to connect to a different database or modify the filters to suit your project requirements.
    3. Edit Slack Notification: Customize the message sent to Slack to include specific details or a different format that aligns with your team's communication style.
    4. Add or Remove Nodes: Feel free to include additional nodes for further data processing or reporting, or remove any nodes that are not relevant to your workflow.
