Hello dear Community !
I am trying to build an automation to warn followers on Notion cards whenever the status of the card changes. Here is the current workflow:
- On Notion, my database has a property named "Followed By" for which anyone can be added
- When an item is updated on Notion, it triggers an "Item updated trigger"
- The Notion integration having some problem with the status, I call Notion API with the action "Notion API request". That way, I get the raw response WITH the status in it
- I then search for such element with an action "Storage by Zapier".This element would come from a previous execution for which I cached the previous result
- I then store the result with an action "Storage by Zapier" to be used later for future execution
- I compare the historical result and the current result
- If it has changed, I then warn the user
The problem with that flow is that, before the filter happens to see if status has changed, I run about 8 or 9 tasks which is very task-consuming and is not durable because of Zapier tasks limitation.
Do you have any idea on any way to perform the same action with fewer tasks?
One way I see is to only use code to perform the same result, but is there a way to access any storage with Python or JS code inside a Code Action?
Thanks !
