Notion Database Automations

Notion database automations have arrived! This is going to be a game-changer. To be honest, the feature needs a bit more development, especially in terms of granularity. But man, we're on the right track!

Notion Database Automation Example

As of today, you can do the following when a page inside your database (or a specific view of your database) is edited or when a database property changes:

  • Add pages to a database
  • Edit pages in a database
  • Send a Slack notification to a specific channel
  • Edit properties inside your database

For example, let's say you have your CRM on Notion. You can set a database automation that says: "When lead x is moved to 'hot', add John to the assignee property & send a Slack notification to the 'sales' channel."

Next week, I'll be releasing a complete guide with concrete use cases. But if you want to get started on your own, just hit the "thunder" button at the top of your database.
