Connect WordPress and Notion

Plan content in Notion and publish it in WordPress without copying between the two. Published posts update your Notion calendar, ready items in Notion become WordPress drafts, kind comments go into a testimonials database and new members are listed for the team. It is for editorial teams and site owners who plan in Notion.

2. ActionCreate Database Item

When WordPress fires New Post, FlowMattic runs Create Database Item in Notion with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

WordPress and Notion workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Log each published post in your Notion calendar

Publishing adds an item with the title, author, date and link, so the content calendar shows what actually went live, not just what was planned.

New PostCreate Database Item

Create a WordPress draft when a Notion item is ready

When an editor sets an item's status to ready, a Filter lets it through and New Post creates a draft with the title and text, so writers never paste into the editor.

Save glowing comments as testimonials in Notion

An AI Agent judges each new comment, and warm ones are saved to a testimonials database the marketing team can quote from.

Update the calendar when a post is edited

Find Database Item finds the post's row and Update Database Item sets a last-updated date, which helps teams that refresh old articles keep track.

Add each new member to a Notion people list

New registrations create an item with name, email and role, so community managers can add notes and follow-ups in Notion without wp-admin access.

New UserCreate Database Item

Keep a log of new media uploads

Each upload to the media library adds an item with the file name, type and link, giving designers and editors a searchable asset list in Notion.

Set up: log published posts

When this is set up, each post you publish adds an item to your Notion content calendar.

Prepare the database
In Notion, give your content calendar properties for title, author, published date, URL and status.
Connect Notion
In FlowMattic, open Connects and add a Notion connection that can reach the calendar database.
Trigger on New Post
Create a workflow with WordPress and New Post, then publish a test post so its fields are captured.
Create the item
Add Notion Create Database Item, choose the database, map the post fields to the properties, test it and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

Updated Database Item runs on any change to an item. If another workflow writes back to the same database, filter on a status value so the two do not trigger each other.
To update the right Notion item later, store something unique on it, such as the post URL or ID, and search for it with Find Database Item.
Property names and types differ between databases, so the mapping above is an example. Create the properties in Notion before mapping.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

WordPress and Notion connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Posts and plans stay in step

WordPress tells Notion what was published and Notion tells WordPress what is ready, so neither list goes stale.

Runs where your content lives

Workflows run on your own WordPress server, so post and member data goes to Notion without passing through another automation account.

Large archives cost the same

Runs are unlimited, so a site that publishes many posts a day and edits old ones can log every change.

Common questions

Can I publish to WordPress from Notion?

Yes. A workflow on Updated Database Item with a Filter for your ready status runs New Post. Most teams create the post as a draft and publish it after a final check in WordPress.

Will my Notion calendar update when a post goes live?

Yes. Use New Post to create an item, or Find Database Item and Update Database Item if the item already exists from planning.

Can Notion page content become the post body?

Map the Notion property that holds the text into the post content field. Keeping the article in a text property makes it easy to pass across.

Can comments be saved to Notion?

Yes. New Comment and Comment Approved are WordPress triggers. Add a Filter or an AI Agent if you only want certain comments, such as positive feedback.

Does this work for pages too?

Yes. WordPress has New Page and Update Page triggers, so published and edited pages can be logged in Notion the same way as posts.
