Notion webhook setup with Webhookify

Notion has become the all-in-one workspace for teams managing knowledge bases, project trackers, content calendars, and internal wikis. When a team member updates a critical document, adds a new row to a project database, or modifies a content pipeline entry, you need to know about it immediately. Missing these updates can lead to outdated information being shared with clients, content deadlines being missed, or team members working from stale data. With Webhookify, you can receive real-time, human-readable notifications for Notion changes on Telegram, Discord, Slack, Email, or your mobile device -- keeping your entire team synchronized without constantly checking Notion.

This guide walks you through connecting Notion to Webhookify using Notion's automation features and integration capabilities. Whether you are managing a content pipeline, tracking team OKRs, or maintaining a product wiki, this setup takes less than 15 minutes and ensures you never miss an important workspace change.

Why Monitor Notion Webhooks with Webhookify?

  • Instant Content Awareness: Know the moment a page is created, updated, or published in your Notion workspace. Webhookify delivers AI-summarized alerts within seconds, keeping content teams and collaborators informed in real time.

  • Multi-Channel Delivery: Route Notion alerts wherever your team communicates. Send database updates to a Slack channel, page edits to Telegram, and content publication events to Email -- all from a single Webhookify endpoint.

  • AI-Powered Summaries: Instead of parsing raw webhook payloads, Webhookify transforms Notion event data into plain-English summaries like "Alex added a new row 'Q1 Marketing Campaign' to the Content Calendar database with status set to 'In Progress'."

  • Complete Change Logging: Every webhook from Notion is logged with full headers and payload data. This gives you a searchable history of all workspace changes for auditing, tracking who changed what, and maintaining accountability.

  • Pipeline Visibility: Teams managing content pipelines, product roadmaps, or editorial calendars in Notion can share real-time progress updates with stakeholders who prefer receiving notifications rather than checking Notion directly.

Prerequisites

  1. A Notion account with at least one workspace (free to create at notion.so)
  2. A Notion workspace with automation capabilities (available on Plus, Business, and Enterprise plans)
  3. A Webhookify account (sign up free at webhookify.app)
  4. At least one notification channel configured (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Email, or mobile push)

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1

Create a Webhookify Endpoint

Start by logging into your Webhookify dashboard at webhookify.app. If you do not have an account yet, sign up -- the free tier is all you need to get started.

Once inside the dashboard, click the "Create Endpoint" button. Webhookify will generate a unique webhook URL that looks something like this:

https://hook.webhookify.app/wh/abc123xyz789

Copy this URL and keep it handy. This is the URL you will use in your Notion automation or integration. Each endpoint has its own event log, so you can create separate endpoints for different Notion databases or workspaces.

Give your endpoint a descriptive name like "Notion Content Pipeline" or "Notion Product Roadmap" so you can easily identify it later in your dashboard.

2

Configure Your Notification Channel

Before connecting Notion, make sure you have at least one notification channel set up in Webhookify. Navigate to the Settings or Notifications section in your Webhookify dashboard.

For Telegram: Click "Connect Telegram" and follow the bot authorization flow. You can send notifications to a private chat, a group, or a channel. The Webhookify Telegram bot will send you a confirmation message once connected.

For Discord: Click "Connect Discord" and authorize the Webhookify bot to post in your selected server and channel. Choose a dedicated channel like #notion-updates to keep workspace notifications organized.

For Slack: Click "Connect Slack" and complete the OAuth flow. Select the workspace and channel where you want Notion alerts to appear. A channel like #content-updates or #notion-changes works well.

For Email: Enter the email address where you want to receive webhook notifications. You can add multiple addresses to keep the entire editorial or product team informed.

For Mobile Push: Download the Webhookify app from the App Store or Google Play. Sign in with your account credentials. Enable push notifications when prompted so you receive instant alerts for every Notion workspace change.

Set Up Webhooks in Notion

Notion supports automations that can trigger webhook requests when changes happen in your databases. Here is how to set it up:

Using Notion Automations (Recommended):

  1. Open the Notion database you want to monitor (e.g., your Content Calendar or Task Tracker).
  2. Click the lightning bolt icon at the top right of the database to open Automations.
  3. Click "New Automation".
  4. Under Trigger, select the event type you want to monitor:
    • "Page added" for new entries
    • "Property edited" for updates to specific properties (like Status, Assignee, or Due Date)
  5. Under Action, select "Send webhook".
  6. Paste your Webhookify URL: https://hook.webhookify.app/wh/abc123xyz789
  7. Click "Save" to activate the automation.

You can create multiple automations for different triggers on the same database or across different databases. Each automation sends a POST request to your Webhookify endpoint with details about the change.

Select Events to Monitor

Configure your Notion automations to monitor the events most relevant to your workflow. Here are the key event types you can set up:

  • page.created -- A new page was added to a database
  • page.updated -- A page's content or properties were modified
  • database.row.created -- A new row was added to a database
  • database.row.updated -- An existing database row was changed

For content teams, consider monitoring:

  • Status property changes (e.g., "Draft" to "In Review" or "Published")
  • Assignee changes when tasks are reassigned
  • Due date modifications that affect deadlines

For product teams, consider monitoring:

  • Priority changes on feature requests or bug reports
  • Sprint assignment updates
  • Status transitions through your workflow stages

Back in Webhookify, you can configure notification rules to route different event types to different channels or suppress low-priority changes.

5

Test Your Configuration

To test your setup, make a change in the Notion database you connected. Add a new page, update a property that triggers your automation, or create a new database entry. Within seconds, you should receive a notification on your configured channels.

Check your Webhookify dashboard to see the event logged with its full payload. The event will include details about what changed, which database was affected, and the relevant property values.

If you do not receive a notification:

  • Verify the automation is enabled in Notion (check for the active toggle on the automation)
  • Confirm the Webhookify URL is correctly pasted in the automation action
  • Check that the trigger conditions match the change you made (e.g., if the trigger is "Property edited: Status," make sure you actually changed the Status property)

You can also check the Webhookify endpoint logs to see if any requests were received but failed to trigger a notification.

Notion Webhook Events You Can Monitor

Notion EventDescription
page.createdTriggered when page created occurs
page.updatedTriggered when page updated occurs
database.row.createdTriggered when database row created occurs
database.row.updatedTriggered when database row updated occurs
property.status_changedTriggered when property status changed occurs
property.assignee_changedTriggered when property assignee changed occurs
property.date_changedTriggered when property date changed occurs
property.select_changedTriggered when property select changed occurs

Real-World Use Cases

  • Content Pipeline Tracking: A content marketing team uses a Notion database to manage their editorial calendar. When a writer changes an article's status from "Draft" to "In Review," the editor receives a Telegram notification and can begin reviewing immediately, reducing the time articles sit in the review queue.

  • Knowledge Base Updates: A company maintains their internal documentation in Notion. When any page in the knowledge base is updated, team leads receive a Slack notification summarizing the change. This ensures outdated documentation is caught quickly and the right people are aware of policy or process changes.

  • Product Roadmap Visibility: A product team tracks features in a Notion database. When a feature's priority is changed or its status moves to "In Development," stakeholders receive an Email notification. This keeps executives informed about roadmap changes without requiring them to check Notion regularly.

  • Team Wiki Change Alerts: An engineering team maintains their technical wiki in Notion. When critical pages (architecture decisions, runbooks, deployment guides) are updated, the team receives Discord notifications. This prevents team members from referencing outdated technical documentation.

Example Notification

Here is what a typical Webhookify notification looks like when a Notion database entry is updated:

New Webhook Event Received

Source: Notion
Event: database.row.updated
Endpoint: Notion Content Pipeline

AI Summary:
Alex changed the status of "Q1 Product Launch Blog
Post" from "In Review" to "Approved" in the Content
Calendar database. The page is assigned to Sarah with
a publish date of February 24, 2026.

Timestamp: 2026-02-21T11:22:15Z

Troubleshooting

  1. Automation not triggering: Make sure the automation is enabled (active toggle is on) in your Notion database. Also verify that the trigger conditions match the specific change you are making. If you set the trigger to "Property edited: Status," changes to other properties will not fire the webhook.

  2. Webhook URL not accepted in Notion: Ensure you are pasting the complete Webhookify URL including the https:// prefix. Notion requires a valid HTTPS URL for webhook actions. Double-check for trailing spaces or missing characters.

  3. Notifications not received but webhook is logged: If the webhook appears in your Webhookify logs but you did not receive a notification, check your notification channel configuration in Webhookify settings. The channel may be disconnected or paused.

  4. Automations not available in your plan: Notion automations with webhook actions require a Plus, Business, or Enterprise plan. If you are on the free plan, consider upgrading or using an alternative approach with the Notion API and a middleware service.

  5. Delayed notifications: Notion automations typically fire within seconds of a change, but there can occasionally be slight delays during high-load periods. If you consistently experience delays longer than a minute, check the Notion status page for any ongoing issues.

Create separate Notion automations for different property changes rather than one catch-all automation. For example, set up one automation for Status changes and another for Assignee changes. This gives you more granular control over which events trigger notifications and lets you route different change types to different notification channels in Webhookify.
