Daily Buttondown Subscriber Digest, Delivered to Notion

Every morning, n8n pulls the day's Buttondown subscribers, summarizes them, and has Notion create a new page in a Notion database — a clean daily digest with zero manual work.

difficulty Beginnersetup 15 minresult A hands-off n8n workflow where every relevant Buttondown subscriber automatically reaches Notion — create a new page in a Notion database.
  1. 1

    Fetch Buttondown data

    Add an HTTP Request node (or the native Buttondown node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Buttondown API. Run on a daily Schedule Trigger and fetch recent subscribers. Add a Schedule Trigger before it if this recipe runs on a timer, or a Webhook node if Buttondown can push events directly.

  2. 2

    Shape the data with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g. id, title (or name), status, and updated_at from the Buttondown subscriber. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable.

  3. 3

    Send it to Notion

    Add a Notion node set to resource Database Page, operation Create. Connect your integration, pick the target Database, and map the Set-node fields to your database properties.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right corner. Trigger a real subscriber in Buttondown (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Notion. Once verified, this runs hands-off.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code anything?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop builder. You connect your Buttondown and Notion accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.

Where do I get my Buttondown API credentials?

In your Buttondown account settings, look for "API", "Developers" or "Integrations" and generate an API key or token. Paste it into n8n's HTTP Request node (as a header or credential) or the native Buttondown node if one is available.

Can I filter which items trigger this workflow?

Yes. Add an `IF` node after the Set node with a condition on any field (status, amount, tag, etc.). Wire the TRUE branch to the Notion step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
