Installation

Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/ErlantzCalvo/DailyReportCreator

Place in the folder:
cd DailyReportCreator

Install the dependencies:
npm install

Setup

In order to run the project, you must have a Notion API key. If you don't know how to create the mentioned key, take a look at their well explained documentation.

Once you have the API key, add it to the .env file located in the project's root folder, replacing the field <API_KEY> by your key. The next step is to get the ID of the page you want to track/be reported. It is also explained in the documentiation but, in short, if you are using Notion in the browser, the page ID is the string located between /?v=...:

  https://www.notion.so/myworkspace/a8aec43384f447ed84390e8e42c2e089?v=...
                                    |--------- Database ID ---------|

If you are using the Notion desktop app, you can get the previous link in the top-right part of it, in the share button -> Copy link. Once you have the ID of the page you want to track, place it in the .env file, replacing the <Page ID> field.

Note: Remember to give your API key, at least, read acces of the page you want to track as shown in the documentation
