Hello,
I would like to create a zap from an Trigger event update of the Notion database but this does not exist for the Beta version.
Is it planned to have this functionality and if so when?
The latter is really important to all of your users.
Thanks in advance.

Please add my vote, too. I can’t see myself paying for an account until I’m sure that I can update a recently created (or recently updated) notion database item.
Context: Notion doesn’t allow for dynamically created and unique page titles or names. I’m trying to use Zapier to take a default item name “customer visit” and append an auto-generated ID to it. I can’t make sense of the logic in Zapier. I _thought_ I’d be able to use Zapier to listen to the database event (new database item) and then update that record with new data, but it doesn’t work as expected. Instead, I can’t seem to hand off data from the trigger step (the default date of the new Notion record) to the update step (the update I want to apply to that Notion record).
Hello, please add my vote too. Thank you.

Please add my vote, this is crucial to use Notion as a single source of truth and update other applications

Thanks for reaching out,
Please also add my vote to this list. I’m unsure as to how to accomplish a workaround. For me it’s typical to first capture a “to-do” item on the fly (which is when the zap would trigger) but then later add details and a due date, which is when I actually want to leverage the zap to sync that DB item from notion to google calendar. I really hope this feature is released soon!
Hello! 👋 could you please add a vote from me too? Looking forward to using this feature, it will help in so many ways :D

Hey there, friends! Thanks for letting us know - I’ve added your votes to that! 🙂
Agreguen mi voto porfavor, necesito esa funcionalidad
Hey Sam - please add our vote to the pot as well. The inability to use database updates as a trigger when it’s available in the Notion API for this long is a pretty massive loss and makes Zapier almost useless when integrating with Notion unfortunately.

Hi there Anonymous! 👋
That’s totally understandable. I’d love to be able to trigger a Zap when a database item or page is updated in Notion too! Unfortunately I can’t make any promises as to when it will become available.
Happy to get your vote added but it looks like your Community account was deleted after you replied here so we can’t add your vote. Can you create a new account and reply here to let us know that’s done so we can get your vote added?
Thanks, we’ll keep an eye out for your reply here!

Hey there,
Hey guys,
I also want to be added to the list. Appreciate it.
In the meantime I tried to build a “work-around” with a scheduled trigger - a database page search - a filter and the action afterwards. It’s quite a thing to build it this way because you lose all the “speed” of the trigger. So it would really make a difference to have this feature asap.

Hi
Thanks for reaching out here to let us know you’re also interested in being able to trigger on updated database items in Notion. I use Notion myself so I know just how useful it would be!
We’ve added your vote for this so we’ll be able to notify you as soon as that gets added. Fingers crossed it’ll be soon! 🤞
Hi,
Please also add me to the list. We really need this feature as well.

Looks like official Notion webhooks could be a reality in 2023: https://developers.notion.com/page/notion-platform-roadmap#near-term
If so, then that would seem to indicate that Zapier could update the Notion Zap app integration to have more triggers available/supported.

For this community’s benefit, I reached out to Thomas Frank on Twitter, and he responded. Apparently it’s even worse - other Notion experts have volunteered to maintain Zapier’s integration with Notion and have been met with silence.
Personally, I’ll be looking at other integration providers as per Thomas’ recommendation to find a solution for this. Waiting on Zapier seems to be an exercise in futility.
Hi
I apologize, as much as we wanted to give you any information about the feature request. Mostly the information will be coming over to our backend. Rest assured that as soon as this feature request is available. We will notify you via email. I’ve added your vote for this one. Thank you.
Zapier announced a heap of "new features" today, but can't provide any additional information or a simple update regarding this highly requested trigger on an existing integration to an existing Notion API endpoint? To cap it all off, a trigger that was already available previously with no documented issues?
Sorry
