A new record is created in Notion, mapping the extracted fields to your database properties.\n\n### Setup steps\n1. Configure your WhatsApp credentials in the WhatsApp Trigger node.\n2. In the Search / URL Extraction step, adjust the input logic if your message format differs.\n3. Configure your Apify credentials (and actor/task) to scrape the target page.\n4. Connect your Notion database and map the extracted values in Properties.\n\n### Customization\nDefault example: Amazon/Goodreads/Casa del Libro book pages.\n\nUpdate the scraping/parsing logic to match your target sources (e.g., books, products, articles, recipes, news, or LinkedIn profiles).\n\nIf you change the data model in Notion, update the Properties mapping accordingly in the final node."
