Notion Noob or Notion Master?

Hey — it’s James

I’m feeling confused. Like many people, I’ve been experimenting with AI tools over the past few years. And while there are many ethical issues surrounding this new tech, I find myself increasingly drawn to using AI tools (or AI-powered features) instead of the non-AI alternatives I used before.

AI is becoming second nature. I used to grab my phone for a quick Google search; now, I instinctively ask ChatGPT. It’s easier, faster, and more convenient. I know this isn’t the case for everyone yet, but it feels like we’re heading…

3 Tips / Updates

1/ iPad Update

iPad users: Notion has updated the app to better match the desktop experience:

• Collapsible sidebar with drag & drop

• Inbox opens as a drawer

• Favorite pages from the top bar

• Cleaner page layout, with templates at the bottom

• Full workspace settings

2/ OS MAIL

Psst... wanna skip the Notion Mail waitlist? I've got a fun trick for you! Jump over to os.mail.notion.so and go on a little easter egg hunt. The mail team cooked up this cool mini-game just for fun!

3/ Integration Webhooks

This one is more for the devs working on Notion apps—but it will also make our integrations with other tools more seamless: Notion just introduced integration webhooks!

Webhooks let apps talk to Notion in real time, meaning we can start a workflow as soon as someone changes an item's property, leaves a new comment, or edits a page.

This is also huge news for all the automation wizards 🧙

Check out the thread below to see the new updates that third-party apps have already built:

2 Resources

1/ Add Notion Components to Your Workpsace

I like to promote Notion Elements from time to time because it doesn't receive the credit it deserves. It's a collection of 40+ business Notion components including Task + Project management, Roadmaps, KPIs, Subscription tracking, and more (preview all elements here)

Just add the page to your dashboard and duplicate components whenever the need arises—a great tool to have in your Notion stack 🤓

2/ 5 Levels of Formulas

From Noob to Master—where would you place yourself on these 5 levels of Notion formula wizardry?
