Hello! Toni! I checked your brilliant idea of saving tokens. I'm trying to understand your setup. But I'm not sure what's in your filter before you have the notion modules? Can you get the "exact item id"? I can just know that "something" has been edited or added, but can the webhook tell them apart some how? Can you please give me some pointers, i want to edit the exakt right item later in my flow :)
Cheers! So my filters are just text matchers - I'm looking in that incoming Slack message to see whether it contains the word "edited" or "added", and then branching the scenario based on that. It's not ideal, but unfortunately you can't control what Slack sends in the payload of the Webhook. It mayyy be possible using Slack Apps, but I'm not sure as I haven't used them. A possible workaround could be to modify the native Notion automation. You could add a step that sets a property on the item, eg: set a "next" checkbox to true, then your Make could search for the last edited item with "next" set to true, and then uncheck it after processing... but - that's getting quite complicated 😅
@@KenshiDigital Hey 👋 Yeh there’s a slight delay, I’ve found it’s anywhere from a few seconds up to 2 minutes. I assume that Notion batches their native Automation requests.
I would love to see some tutorials about how to create nice automations for Notion in Make. I dont really know how to create one...
That’s a good idea - I’ve been playing with an idea to summarise your week in Notion with an automation and AI
Your content is amazing, thanks!
@@samiraordahi Ahh thanks that’s great to hear! Have an awesome day
@@toni-sian hahah thank you! It's night here, I'm from Brazil. But you have an awesome day 😊

@@toni-sian Well that sounds like a good workaround ! I will check if i get all the native fixes working :D Thanks !!
is there any delay when coming from Notion to Slack to Make?

@@toni-sian thank you for your response, I thought there were no delays in the automation this clears up a bit. Keep uploading I want to learn more.
