Weekly MySQL Report Sent to Notion

A weekly n8n workflow rolls up all your MySQL rows from the last 7 days into a summary, then has Notion create a new page in a Notion database so your team never has to dig for the numbers.

difficulty Beginnersetup 30 minresult A hands-off n8n workflow where every relevant MySQL row automatically reaches Notion — create a new page in a Notion database.
  1. 1

    Fetch MySQL data

    Add an HTTP Request node (or the native MySQL node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the MySQL API. Run on a weekly Schedule Trigger and fetch this week's rows. Add a Schedule Trigger before it if this recipe runs on a timer, or a Webhook node if MySQL 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 MySQL row. 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 row in MySQL (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 MySQL and Notion accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.

Where do I get my MySQL API credentials?

In your MySQL 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 MySQL node if one is available.

Can this run on a schedule instead of in real time?

Yes — swap the trigger for a `Schedule Trigger` set to whatever interval fits (every 15 minutes, hourly, daily). The rest of the workflow stays the same.
