How to Import Discord Messages to Notion: A Guide for Make.com Users

Hi there! If you're a user of both Discord and Notion, you might have found yourself wishing you could automatically import text data from a Discord thread into a designated Notion database. Well, you're in luck! In this blog post, we'll walk you through how to do just that.

Step 1: Set Up Your Discord Module

The first thing you'll need to do is set up your Discord module to watch channel messages. This will allow your scenario to trigger whenever a new message is posted in the designated Discord channel.

Step 2: Get the Database Item ID

Next, you'll need to get the ID of the database item in Notion that you want to append the Discord message to. There are two ways you can do this:

  1. If the database item doesn't exist yet, you can create it in your scenario before the 'Append a Database Item Content' step. You can then map the databaseItemID from your new Notion database item into the dedicated field in 'Append a Database Item Content'.
  2. If the database item already exists in Notion, you can use the 'Search Objects' module to find the database item based on a specific condition. You can then map the databaseItemID from your existing Notion database item into the dedicated field in 'Append a Database Item Content'.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're having trouble with this process, here are a few things to check:

  • Make sure your Discord module is set up correctly and is successfully watching channel messages.
  • Check that you're correctly getting the databaseItemID, either by creating a new database item or by using the 'Search Objects' module.
  • Ensure that you're correctly mapping the databaseItemID into the 'Append a Database Item Content' field.

Conclusion

And that's it! With these steps, you should be able to automatically import text data from a Discord thread into a designated Notion database. Happy automating!
