From Notion to Eleventy

1

Zapier

My workaround is a Zapier integration. Zapier works natively with Notion, but it only provides a trigger on new database items. It won't fire on database entry changes. That would deploy my blog once I add a new post, even as a draft. But once I set the draft property to false, it wouldn't update and the post won't be published.

Notion API

The Notion API gives me an endpoint to fetch the database and a further endpoint for each post. Eleventy has its _data structure, in which it can fetch data from the API and use it to populate a site with content. So my first try was to simply fetch pages from the Notion database and go on with that. If pure text is all you want, it's pretty straightforward. But Notion has a lot more to offer than that. There's formatting, images, embeds, code blocks... And most of them come with a little hurdle.
