← Documentation: Instagram Reel to Notion Second Brain

Notion is the destination for each extracted knowledge entry. The integration needs access to the database, and the node's property names and types must match your Inbox.

1. Connect the integration

Create a Notion integration or supported personal integration token with read and insert permissions. Grant it access to the destination database in Notion; a valid token alone does not provide workspace-wide access.

Save it as an n8n Notion API credential and select it in 17B — Notion Create Inbox Page.

2. Prepare the Inbox properties

Use the supplied schema or adapt the node mappings to your database. These are functional property names, including the Italian names used by both language options.

Create matching options before testing. This workflow accepts Instagram links, rather than arbitrary website, YouTube or GitHub inputs.

3. Map properties and content

Select the destination database in 17B, or use its database ID where supported. Confirm all six mappings above.

Keep the ten dynamic page-content fields in Expression mode. They read the output of 17A — Prepare Notion Knowledge Page, which composes the summary, key points, tools, repositories, source URLs, instructions, uses, follow-ups, uncertainties and provenance.

The native Create operation writes properties and content together. Empty sections use a blank placeholder in the supplied fixed-block layout.

4. Verify one entry

Run one public Reel. The new page should contain actual text rather than literal {{ ... }} expressions.

If the database is absent from the selector, check integration access and the ID supported by your node. For property errors, inspect exact names, types and options. For missing content, inspect 17A and its section-length limits.

Repeating a Reel creates another page because the workflow has no persistent duplicate check. Continue with 05 · Testing & Troubleshooting.
