Scheduled Alerts
Scheduled Alerts let you check a Notion database on a schedule and notify Discord when something changes. Use them when you want fewer pings than real-time notifications, or when changes donโt trigger Notion webhooks.
When to use Scheduled Alerts
- Reduce noise vs real-time notifications by scheduling alerts (e.g., daily instead of constant pings).
- Monitor newly created items (e.g., new support tickets or new leads).
- Catch changes that happen outside normal webhook events (e.g., formula recalculations).
- Send reminders on a schedule without building complex automation.
Step-by-step
- Open Scheduled Alerts in the sidebar.
- Click New alert.
- Pick a Notion database and Discord channel.
- Choose a frequency (daily for Solo, hourly for Team).
- Choose when to alert: Created, Updated, or both.
- If Updated is enabled, pick a property to watch.
- (Optional) Set To value (leave it empty for any value).
- Save the alert.
- Use Post preview to Discord to send a preview message (available once every 10 seconds). Preview does not change the alert baseline.
Changing the run time
If you update a daily alertโs run time to a later hour that hasnโt happened yet, it will run again that same day at the new time. If you change it to an earlier or already-passed hour, it waits until the next day.
Plan limits
Solo plans: 1 scheduled alert, daily only. Team plans: up to 5 scheduled alerts, hourly or daily.
Examples
New support ticket created
- In Notion, make sure your database has a Type property (Select) with an option like
Support. - In NotiCord, create a scheduled alert:
- Alert when: Created
- And when following property changes:
Type - To value:
Support - Frequency: Daily or hourly (Team)
- (Optional) Include Assignee in Alert Content to mention owners when it happens.
Priority escalated to High
- In Notion, make sure your database has a Priority property (Select).
- In NotiCord, create a scheduled alert:
- Alert when: Updated
- And when following property changes:
Priority - To value:
High - Frequency: Daily or hourly (Team)
- (Optional) Include Assignee in Alert Content to mention owners when it happens.
Why scheduled alerts?
Notion webhooks only fire when a property is edited. Formula-only recalculations (like time-based changes) do not trigger updates.
Scheduled Alerts fill that gap by checking your database on a timer.
