API integration examples
In this section, we will go through an integration example using Automate.io, between Google Calendar and Notion, and a Typeform integration with Notion. These are two of the most common integration uses and will give you some practical use cases for when and how the API can be used.

Once permission has been granted, we need to add a trigger and an action. In this example, we will use adding a Google Calendar event as the trigger and adding a database item as the action. This bot aims to create a page in a Notion database when an event is added to a specific Google Calendar trigger.
