Automate, Rinse, Repeat

Hey — it’s Rames

I’ve come across this concept twice this week, almost as if it were trying to tell me something.

See, I like to build things. Whether it’s woodwork or websites, the moment an idea strikes, I want to bring it to life—I want to see it. That works great for hobbies, but in business, it’s a different story (unless, of course, I’m an artist).

You might think that building something successful is all about speed—operating fast, staying ahead of competitors, keeping up with trends. But today’s concept challenges that idea:

3 Tips / Updates

1/ Database Automations Frequency Trigger

Triggers for database automations:

• Property edited ✅

• Page added ✅

• Frequency 🆕

→ You can now schedule your Notion database automations to run every X time. Like the "repeat" function on database templates, select your frequency, day to start, time of day, and timezone.

2/ Templates “Repeat” updates

Speaking of the "Repeat" function on database templates, a few things have changed too:

• You can now set up "Ending," i.e., when the template stops getting added. It can be either a date or a specific number of runs (i.e., add the template 5 times then stop)

• You now also have a button to "Stop repeating" instantly

3/ Search in •••

Tiny update but that makes my life so much easier: you can now search the page settings menu (the one you access by clicking ••• at the top-right of your page).

With more and more features being added, it was well needed!

P.S.: When you open it, it automatically activates the search. Smart UX feature.
