I Discovered A New Notion Hack & It's A Gamechanger šŸ‘€

Your very own workflow automations builder, inside Notion, no external tools needed.

Hey Notion builder,

Notionā€™s latest update just unlocked an incredibly powerful new way to get things done in Notion (and at first, I didnā€™t even notice šŸ˜…).

Iā€™m still scratching the surface with what can be built using this method, but I wanted to share it with you right away because itā€™s already changing how I get things done in Notion.

Iā€™ve recorded a video walking through the method, you can watch that here:

The short version? I think Iā€™ve discovered a way to build your own flexible workflow automations, directly inside Notion.

Without needing Zapier, Make or any external tool integrations. Just using Notionā€™s latest AI update.

Hereā€™s how it works, there are 3 parts:

  • Inputs: Variable data that changes with each use of the workflow, such as customer emails, keywords, or article topics.

  • Instructions: Specific directives stored in an Instructions Database that guide Notion AI on how to process the inputs.

  • Background: Reference materials stored in a Docs Database that provide context and examples to enhance the AI's output.

Thatā€™s it. 3 simple databases, with a unique method of combining background context and instructions into repeatable workflows that can help you automate literally hundreds of tasks.

I really think the video is the best way to explain it, so if you watch just one Notion tutorial video this year, Iā€™m hoping it will be this one.

Workflow Automations Are Now Included In Business OS

Iā€™ve integrated this workflow automation setup directly into Business OS now, so you can start leveraging it directly out-of-the-box.

If you already have Business OS and want to upgrade to include this new Workflows Builder component, just reply to this message and Iā€™ll send you the Component template to duplicate directly (currently available in the Components library, but only accessible with All Access or Landmark Lifetime).

This is probably the most excited Iā€™ve been about discovering a new method of using Notion since building Flotion a couple of years ago. I hope you find it useful.

Best,
