I’m automating updates to a date field via the API, and I’m wondering if it’s also possible to set an alert for that modified date. In my script, the date value is updated automatically, but I would like to have a reminder option linked to it. Is there a supported method to attach a reminder when updating the date property? Any advice on achieving this functionality would be very helpful.
In my experience, the Notion API does not directly support attaching a reminder to a date field update. I encountered a similar need when I was trying to automate project timelines. After some testing and research, I ended up using a third-party tool to trigger notifications based on date changes. The API allows you to update and modify date fields, but you have to build the reminder functionality on top of it with additional scripting or automation services. It’s not seamless, but it works reliably.
I have experimented with similar automation tasks using the Notion API. Direct integration of reminder functionality within the API is not available at this time. My approach involved setting up an external scheduler that monitors the changes in the date field. When an update is detected, the scheduler sends out a notification or reminder using a service like Zapier or a custom webhook. This method, while requiring additional setup, has proven effective in dealing with scenarios where timely device alerts are essential.
i guess notion api doesn’t offer native reminder support. u need to hook up an external scheduler to send alerts on date changes. u gotta script it manually if u need automated reminders
