Live Stock Prices in Notion (Google Apps Script)
Hello, I'm Taylor. I wanted to use Notion as a database for my stock transactions, but quickly realized that being able to update live prices of those stocks in Notion was a huge pain in the butt. After trying out a few templates and procedures, I tried to do better:
What It Does
With some simple, no-code setup, you can connect this script to any Notion database, and have it read stocks from a database and update the stock's price on a time-based schedule (ie. hourly).
Manage your stocks in a Notion database, and let the script keep a Price column up to date
The Sheets template includes a simple, no-code interface to enter your Notion configuration details
Simple Setup
- Create a copy of the Google Sheet link that will be sent to you on purchase
- Create a private Notion integration, and paste a few fields into the Sheet's Setup tab
- Test run the script, and then set up a time-based trigger so that it runs automatically (ie. hourly)
Here's the full User Guide for this script, with step-by-step instructions for setting it up with your Notion database.
Setup should take less than 10 minutes.
Notable Details
- This solution relies on the Google Sheets function
=GOOGLEFINANCE()which, according to their docs, may mean prices are delayed by up to 20 minutes - While this is a fully no-code solution, there are some configuration steps required. Here is the User Guide that steps through these, so that you can review them before purchasing.
