I Discovered A New Notion Hack & It's A Gamechanger š
Your very own workflow automations builder, inside Notion, no external tools needed.
Hey Notion builder,
Notionās latest update just unlocked an incredibly powerful new way to get things done in Notion (and at first, I didnāt even notice š ).
Iām still scratching the surface with what can be built using this method, but I wanted to share it with you right away because itās already changing how I get things done in Notion.
Iāve recorded a video walking through the method, you can watch that here:
The short version? I think Iāve discovered a way to build your own flexible workflow automations, directly inside Notion.
Without needing Zapier, Make or any external tool integrations. Just using Notionās latest AI update.
Hereās 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.
Thatās 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, Iām hoping it will be this one.
Workflow Automations Are Now Included In Business OS
Iāve 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 Iāll 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 Iāve been about discovering a new method of using Notion since building Flotion a couple of years ago. I hope you find it useful.
Best,
Gerrard
