Create RSS Feed item with RSS Feed by FlowMattic for new item in Notion
Every new item added to a Notion database becomes a new entry in an RSS feed served by FlowMattic, so feed readers and tools that read RSS pick up what you add in Notion.

What this workflow does
Notion is a comfortable place to collect links, updates or short posts, but it has no feed that other tools can subscribe to. If you want a newsletter tool, a feed reader or another automation to pick up what you add, you need an RSS feed. This workflow builds one from a Notion database.
The Notion trigger runs when a new item is created in the database you connect. FlowMattic then adds an entry to a custom feed with the RSS Feed app's Create New Item in RSS Feed action. You map the item's properties, such as its name and any link or summary property, into the feed entry.
The feed lives in FlowMattic on your WordPress site, so you don't need a separate feed service. Only new database items are sent. Changing an item later doesn't change its feed entry, and older items stay out of the feed unless you add them again.
Curated link roundups
You save interesting articles to a Notion reading database. Each new entry is added to a feed that your newsletter tool reads to build a weekly digest.
Changelog for a small product
Your team logs releases in a Notion database, and each new release becomes a feed entry that customers can follow in their feed reader.
Internal announcements
HR or office staff add announcements to a Notion database, and a feed built from it can be shown in a tool that displays RSS content.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
Notion New Database ItemRuns when a new item is created in the Notion database you select. The item's properties are passed to the next step for mapping.
- RSS Feed Create New Item in RSS Feed
Adds a new entry to your FlowMattic RSS feed from the Notion item. Map the item's properties into the entry; a test run shows which properties Notion sends.
What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- Notion AccountAccount
After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Add a status property to the Notion database and a Filter after the trigger that continues only when it equals Published, so drafts you create stay out of the feed.
- Give the Notion database a URL property for the source link and map it into the feed entry, so readers can click through to the full content.
- Create one test item in Notion after import so FlowMattic captures its properties, then finish mapping the RSS step before turning the workflow on.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need a separate RSS service to publish the Notion feed?
No. The RSS Feed app is part of FlowMattic, and the feed is served from your WordPress site.
Does editing a Notion item update its RSS entry?
No. The trigger only fires for new database items, so later edits in Notion don't reach the feed.
Can I build the feed from more than one Notion database?
Yes. Import the workflow again, point the copy at the second database, and choose the same feed in its RSS step.
Will existing Notion items appear in the feed?
No. Items already in the database when you switch the workflow on aren't sent, only those created afterwards.
