Notion's Database Automations help you streamline workflows by automatically performing actions when specific events occur in your database.
Here's a breakdown on how to use them:
Creating an Automation:
Access the Automation Menu: Open your desired database and locate the lightning bolt icon (⚡) in the top right corner. Click on it and select "New automation."
Choose a Trigger: This defines when the automation activates. You have two options:
Page added: Triggers when a new page is added to the entire database or a specific database view.
Property edited: Triggers when a specific property within the database is edited.
Adding Actions:
Define the Action: This determines what happens after the trigger is activated. There are four options:
Add pages to: Creates new pages in a chosen database and lets you pre-fill their properties.
Edit pages in: Edits existing pages within the chosen database, allowing you to modify specific properties.
Send Slack notification to: Sends a notification to a designated Slack channel.
Set a reminder: Creates a reminder within Notion for the specific page.
Additional Considerations:
Specifying Scope: During creation, choose whether the automation applies to the entire database or just a specific view.
Trigger Logic: Automations use "OR" logic, meaning the automation runs if any of the chosen triggers occur.
Exploring Resources: Refer to the official Notion Help Center article on "Database automations" for detailed instructions and examples https://www.notion.so/help/database-automations.
By understanding these steps and exploring the available options, you can leverage Notion's Database Automations to automate repetitive tasks and enhance your workflow efficiency.
I was a beta tester for this feature, being a featured Notion creator. So I created an interactive course, and its free! Check it out here.
