Pseudo Code

Create Workflow Pipeline

// 1. Create Notion database for workflow
const db = await notion.createDatabase({
  parentId: workspaceId,
  title: "Sales Pipeline",
  properties: {
    "Stage": { "select": { "options": ["Lead", "Qualified", "Proposal", "Closed"] } },
    "Contact": { "people": {} },
    "Due Date": { "date": {} },
    "Status": { "status": { "options": ["Not Started", "In Progress", "Done"] } }
  }
});

// 2. Set up Slack notification for new items
async function notifyNewLead(page: any) {
  await slack.chat_postMessage({
    channel: "#sales-leads",
    text: `New lead: ${page.properties.Name.title[0].plain_text}`,
    blocks: [
      {
        "type": "section",
        "text": { "type": "mrkdwn", "text": `*New Lead*\n${page.url}` }
      }
    ]
  });
}

// 3. Create automation trigger
const trigger = await notion.createWebhook({
  databaseId: db.id,
  url: "https://api.yourautomation.com/trigger",
  events: ["page.created"]
});

Update Task and Notify

// Update task status in Notion
await notion.pages.update({
  pageId: taskId,
  properties: {
    "Status": { "status": { "name": "In Progress" } }
  }
});

// Send Slack update
await slack.chat_postMessage({
  channel: "#tasks",
  text: `Task updated: https://notion.so/page/${taskId}`
});
