How to sync new Outlook Calendar events with Notion databases
Create your playbook and set the Outlook Calendar trigger as "Event scheduled"
After creating your playbook, you can proceed to add your trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and responds to your playbook.
To setup this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Event scheduled" under Outlook Calendar. Then, select the Calendar. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the new scheduled event in Outlook Calendar and initiate necessary actions.
If this is your first time using a Outlook Calendar integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.
Add the "Add page to database" in Notion automation
Integrate the Notion automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt addition of a new page to a specific database whenever a new event is scheduled in Outlook Calendar.
Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Add page to database" automation for Notion and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Notion account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Notion account.
Activate your Relay.app playbook
Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the addition of a new database in Notion. Once turned on, it will respond whenever a new event is scheduled in Outlook Calendar by adding the details as a new page to Notion's database without manual intervention.
To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are being sent correctly.
