Monitor cron-job health in Notion

Hear about the scheduled jobs that fail or run long — and only those — so a silent backup or a stalled sync becomes a message, not a surprise.

the event

You emit cron.finished with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.

  • jobstringjob name
  • statusstringok | failed
  • duration_msnumber
  • expected_msnumbertypical runtime
  • exit_codenumber

emit it

From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.

emit cron.finished
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";

await ingest("cron.finished", {
  job:         "nightly-backup",
  status:      ok ? "ok" : "failed",
  duration_ms: Date.now() - startedAt,
  expected_ms: 120000,
  exit_code:   code,
});

route it to Notion

Append events as rows to a Notion database, or content to a page. Connect once with OAuth, pick the target per pipeline.

  1. 01

    connect your workspace

    Authorize the ingestlayer Notion integration over OAuth from the destinations page, then choose which databases and pages it may touch. We hold only that workspace's access token, in-region, in the same KMS as your other credentials.

  2. 02

    pick a target

    Per pipeline, choose a database to append a typed row to, or a page to append content to. The picker lists exactly what you shared with the integration during authorization — nothing else.

  3. 03

    map the columns

    For a database, match event fields to Notion properties — automatically by column name, or per-column with $event.* templates. The title column falls back to the event name, so a row is never blank. For a page, the rendered body is appended as blocks.

notes

questions

Can I only hear about problems?
Filter to failures and jobs that overran their expected_ms; healthy runs pass silently to the warehouse for the record.
How do I catch a job that never ran?
Pair this with a scheduled check that emits when an expected cron.finished is missing — absence is the signal there.
Can different jobs alert different teams?
Branch on the job name so a failed billing run reaches finance and a failed deploy reaches engineering.
