Track crypto prices & FX rates with CoinGecko & ExchangeRate-API to Notion

📊 Log BTC/ETH Prices and USD Exchange Rates to Notion (Hourly)

📌 Overview

This workflow automatically logs live crypto prices (Bitcoin & Ethereum) and fiat exchange rates (USD→EUR / USD→NGN) into a Notion database every hour. Each entry becomes a new row in your Notion dashboard, letting you visualize currency and crypto trends side by side.

It’s perfect for traders, analysts, and anyone who wants a single source of truth in Notion without needing multiple apps open. With hourly updates, you’ll have a clean data history for building rollups, trend graphs, or financial dashboards.

⚙️ How it works

1. Schedule Trigger — runs every hour (adjustable via cron).
2. HTTP Request (ExchangeRate-API) — fetches USD-base FX rates (no API key required).
3. HTTP Request (CoinGecko) — fetches BTC & ETH prices + 24h % change (no API key required).
4. Merge — combines both payloads.
5. Code (v2) — formats a Notion-ready JSON payload with the correct fields.
6. Notion Node — creates a new page in your database with mapped properties.

Example Row in Notion:
Title: Crypto+FX — 2025-09-08 09:00
BTC: 112,417 | BTC_24h: +1.22%
ETH: 4,334.57 | ETH_24h: +1.33%
USD→EUR: 0.854 | USD→NGN: ₦1,524.54

🛠 Setup Guide

1) Create the Notion database

• In Notion, create a new database (Table view).
• Add these columns with matching property types:

2) Connect Notion in n8n

• In the Notion “Create Page” node, connect with your Notion OAuth2 credentials.
• On first use, you’ll be redirected to authorize n8n with your Notion workspace.
• Copy your Database ID (from the Notion URL) and paste it into the node.

3) Map the Code output

• The Code node outputs JSON fields: BTC, BTC_24h, ETH, ETH_24h, USD_EUR, USD_NGN.
• In the Notion node, map each property:
  • BTC → {{$json.BTC}}
  • BTC_24h → {{$json.BTC_24h}}
  • ETH → {{$json.ETH}}
  • ETH_24h → {{$json.ETH_24h}}
  • USD_EUR → {{$json.USD_EUR}}
  • USD_NGN → {{$json.USD_NGN}}

4) Test

• Run the workflow once.
• Confirm that a new page is added to your Notion database with all values filled.

🎛 Customization

• Cadence: change the schedule to 10 minutes, 4 hours, or daily depending on your needs.
• Extra coins: add more IDs (e.g., solana, bnb) in the CoinGecko call and update the Code node.
• Extra FX pairs: expand from ExchangeRate-API (e.g., USD→GBP, USD→ZAR).
• Notion dashboards: use rollups, charts, and linked databases for trend visualization.
• Formatting: add emojis, colors, or sections in your Notion view for clarity.

🧩 Troubleshooting

• Page not created: verify Database ID and ensure the Notion API integration has access.
• Empty fields: check that property names in Notion exactly match those used in the Code node.
• Wrong data type: make sure properties are set as Number, not Text.
• Rate limits: CoinGecko and ExchangeRate-API are free but may rate-limit if called too often; keep cadence reasonable (hourly recommended).
