Auto-Route New PostgreSQL Rows to Notion
Every new PostgreSQL row is automatically classified and routed — n8n has Notion create a new page in a Notion database, so the right person sees it without a manual handoff.
- 1
Fetch PostgreSQL data
Add an
HTTP Requestnode (or the native PostgreSQL node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the PostgreSQL API. Poll PostgreSQL for new rows. Add aSchedule Triggerbefore it if this recipe runs on a timer, or aWebhooknode if PostgreSQL can push events directly. - 2
Shape the data with a Set node
Add a
Setnode after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g.id,title(orname),status, andupdated_atfrom the PostgreSQL row. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable. - 3
Send it to Notion
Add a
Notionnode set to resourceDatabase Page, operationCreate. Connect your integration, pick the targetDatabase, and map the Set-node fields to your database properties. - 4
Activate and test
Click
Activatein the top-right corner. Trigger a real row in PostgreSQL (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 PostgreSQL and Notion accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.
Where do I get my PostgreSQL API credentials?
In your PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL 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.
