Auto-rename Downloads → Import to Notion Database
Automatically rename messy downloaded files with descriptive names, then import them into a structured Notion database for easy organization and searchability.
Workflow Steps
Zush
Rename downloaded files intelligently
Set up Zush to monitor your Downloads folder and automatically rename files with descriptive, standardized names based on their content (e.g., 'invoice_123.pdf' becomes 'Acme_Corp_Invoice_March_2024.pdf')
Zapier
Detect new renamed files
Create a Zapier trigger that monitors your Downloads folder for new files. Use the 'Dropbox' or 'Google Drive' trigger to detect when Zush has finished renaming files
Notion
Create database entry with file details
Configure Zapier to automatically create a new entry in your Notion file database, including the renamed filename, file type, date added, and a link to the file location
