Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with an automation I’m trying to set up between NotionZapier, and Metricool.

Goal:

  • Automatically retrieve content from my Notion table whenever a row is added or updated (Status = “Validé”)

  • Then send this content to Metricool so it can be published on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts

The problem:
When I connect my Notion table to Zapier and test the trigger, Zapier says there’s no “data” to pull.
That’s normal because my table is still empty at the moment of connecting the tools, but I want the Zap to automatically pick up any new content I add later.

I’ve set everything up (Updated Database Item trigger, filters, Metricool mapping…), but it seems Zapier isn’t automatically picking up the new items I add in Notion.

📌 If someone knows exactly how to fix this, I’m willing to pay for the service so it’s resolved quickly and properly.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey ​@Aliloup, welcome to the Community! 🎉

It’s been a while since you posted here, were you able to get the Zap triggering for new items?

If not, I’d suggest making a copy of the Zap and changing it to use the New Database Item Notion trigger instead of the Updated Database Item trigger. That way you’ll have one Zap that triggers when a new item is added and another Zap that will trigger for existing items that are updated.

Keep us posted on your progress, want to make sure this gets sorted!


Hey ​@Aliloup,

Sam has pointed you in the right direction as you need to use New Database trigger so that any new data is captured in Zapier. Then you can also use a Filter by Zapier step to check for Status = “Validé” and after that you can send it to Metricool.

PS: I can understand it can get frustrating to set it up yourself as it can get a bit technical.
