It's basically a different service and I think I'll need to read guides at this point. All the AI integration, new apps, new UI, it's just a completely different vibe. It used to be super clean and minimalist and that's what I loved about it :( Anyone else who felt this way after coming back recently? Any tips on catching up with all the changes?

Been using this shortcut for over a year captures random ideas straight to Notion in one tap. Great for random thoughts, or ideas that hit at weird times/mid-work.

I just Changes my phone. It is OPPO A4 CPH2669.

Curious how people handle having work and personal creative projects in the same Notion workspace without it turning into a disaster. My setup has kind of collapsed into one giant pile where client tasks and personal stuff bleed into each other constantly.

Everything is technically organized but finding anything takes way too much clicking. I have databases for work projects and a separate area for personal things, but they never feel truly separate. The sidebar is always a jumble.

Some people swear by completely different workspaces for work vs. personal, but then you lose the ability to link things across them, which feels like a bigger headache. Others just dump everything into one place with tags or filters doing the heavy lifting.

What actually works for you long term, not just in the first week when everything feels clean and new? Do you keep it all in one workspace with strict naming conventions, or have you found a way to make the sidebar feel less chaotic? Also wondering if anyone uses linked databases in a way that genuinely keeps the two sides from bleeding together, rather than just theoretically separating them.

been trying to wire n8n so a new notion row becomes a pdf and emails out. sounds simple until you build it

HTTP node keeps choking on auth. airtable path same story, works in testing then dies past like 3 merge fields??

spent two hours on a webhook that returns 200 but the pdf is blank. connector wanted json, i sent form data. cool

girlfriend asked why im on the laptop at midnight. i said "automating invoices" which is the saddest true thing ive said this month

docsautomator and pdfmonkey both want a subscription before you know if nested tables work. not paying to find out my row layout isnt supported

anyone got this running in n8n with notion without a custom backend. what are you using for the pdf step

Is this a new setting I’m missing somewhere or a bug? I don’t see anything in layout options. On the desktop app it’s all good. Just the iOS app

Ex: A page named Personal Hub that shows the daily informations. This page have a filtered view database named Today's Journal showing just the template made by automation (New page journal - everyday) for the current day. But I wanted to change this view to just a button but couldn't find how to do it. It is really possible? I also couldn't find where to do a feedback to ask for this functionality.

Update: Darth_Animation, I'd saw this whole thread and did'nt had unsdestood 'till now. Thank you for the video, I'll do it like that despite not really into doing a new db for it.

OK, there is a time and a place for AI. But, this thing has become a pig. Does anyone know if there is a way to toggle on and off the AI, just for a short period of time, so I can bounce around in pages faster, when I need to? I did not have this type of performance before I added the AI feature...

This thing is killing my productivity...

Hello. I’m at a complete dead end. Tried looking it up and no luck. Does anyone know what’s going on here? It does this with seemingly any property. When I try to add something I will type one letter and it completely exits, takes down my keyboard and puts me at the start with nothing added. I dont know if this is a bug or if this is an error on my end.

The first sale feeling can't be described until you make it.

I made my first sale after months of giving away the free Notion templates and building trust with people( still at the beginning I'm still building my audience across different platforms). About a 20 Days ago. I decided to start adding paid versions alongside some of the free ones. Inside the free version, I put a premium upgrade template like this one " IELTS template " for people who really want to go further. A week after doing that, I got my first sale.

I can't really explain the feeling. Finally, after months of building and giving things away, someone looked at what I made and decided it was worth paying for.

I won't forget this guy who put the first trust in me

Any questions, I'll answer them

What is the best way to send simple images from the notion database to WhatsApp ?

Just a text message with properties from the table and one picture from a file property. I know that there is a whole process with Make/Zapier and WhatsApp API business, BUT I would gladly prefer a quick hack before going down this whole process of verification.

What would be really nice is to click a button and it simply shares the image on WhatsApp like any other app from the phone actually ...

Is there a personal CRM template people prefer in Notion?

Hey Notion community!

Wanted to share a workspace I've been refining: The Fleet Operating System. It’s engineered specifically for car rental hosts and small fleet owners.

Key Technical Highlights: • Relational Vehicle Rollups: Links individual trip payouts and expense entries to calculate real-time Net Vehicle Profit per car. • Smart Maintenance Queue: Auto-calculates remaining miles based on odometer entries and outputs dynamic status tags (🚨 OVERDUE, ⚠️ DUE SOON, ✅ OK). • Damage & Claims Hub: Stores photo proof, repair estimates, and insurance claim statuses. • Mobile Command Center: Filtered lists for today’s pick-ups/drop-offs and 1-click quick-action buttons.

Drop a comment if you want to check out the live template link! Feedback is always welcome.

not even joking i spent my whole saturday making a database to track my database templates. like an actual meta-system for organizing my other systems

meanwhile my actual to do list has had "reply to emails" on it since june

is this normal or do i need to touch grass? genuinely asking bc i think i have a problem and it's shaped like nested toggle lists

Started building out a job application tracker a few weeks ago and it keeps collapsing on itself. Not because Notion can't handle it, more that I keep secondguessing the structure and rebuilding it from scratch every few days.

Right now I have a database with status columns, company name, role, date applied, and a linked page for notes from each interview. Sounds fine on paper but the moment I start filtering by stage or trying to see what followups are overdue it feels clunky. Rollups are doing something weird with my date fields and I stopped trusting them.

The part that actually works is just dumping raw notes after a call into the linked page. That part I like. Everything else feels like I'm fighting the tool.

Curious what setups people are running for this. Not looking for a template recommendation, more interested in knowing what properties you found yourself actually using week to week versus the ones that looked useful and never got filled in. There's a gap between what seems logical to build and what you actually maintain when you're stressed and applying to ten things a week.

Does anyone use relations to a separate company database or is that overkill for a solo job search?

I don't understand what happened here but all over my Notion instance I'm having the same issue: Google Drive links are being replaced with "Select file to preview" but when I try to select the file, I get a 404 error.

I can't stop Google Drive links from showing up as a "mention" with the Google Drive logo and the title showing unless I actively catch myself adding the link and make sure to select the option to paste just the URL. Everything else will degrade to this.

Been building a Notion tool and want to share a repositioning lesson that might help someone.

I started with "a tool that visualises your Notion workspace as a graph." Technically cool, demoed well, but the value prop was didn't sit well, low uptake and retention — it became apparent the main selling point of seeing your workspace was not the pain point i needed to focus on. Then, i looked at things from a different perspective and tried to understand what do people actual want, what problem am i trying to solve, yes my own problem, but it was a common one. So i changed it to "Notion cleanup tool"  instead.

The unlock was reframing around the outcome: your Notion is a cluttered mess, and this finds the orphaned/stale/duplicate pages and lets you archive them in one click. Same underlying tech (I map the workspace as a graph either way), but now the map is part of the the journey towrds the end goal - the cleanup (the reason to pay). Everything got clearer downstream — the copy, the pricing page, even which features to build next.

A few other things I changed while I was at it:

• Cut every fake trust signal. stop trying to oversell or overcomplicate, do things simple, people like simplicity. Cut out the crap.
• Freemium is the trial. Free up to 100 pages gives a taste (their health score) before paying, so I skipped a separate time-boxed trial — especially since a cleanup tool has a "do it once and bounce" churn risk a short trial would amplify.
• Recurring hook for a one-time-feeling job: a weekly dashboard / health score in your inbox to keep that engagement, and essentially maintain a clean workspace, so it's not just a clean-once purchase.

Genuinely curious how others here handle the feature-vs-outcome repositioning line — where do you draw it before it becomes overpromising? Happy to be DM'd too

Hey everyone! I was testing out a Fugte embed in Notion and opened DevTools to check on something.

The embed works fine, but the browser console is completely flooded with CSP (Content Security Policy) error blocks and failed telemetry fetches from Notion (exp.notion.com).

I also noticed Notion prints ASCII art hiring logs and an Ivan Zhao quote in the middle of it all 😂

Is this normal behavior for Notion embedded pages or public links, or is it related to something else? I have Notion free tier btw.

Hey all, I'm sure this isn't hard but I just can't seem to figure it out. Assume I have a Meetings database (name, date, client, project, notes), where Client is a (limit 1) relation to a Client database (client name, other details). I also made a Projects database where I can (1 to many) map clients (from the Client database) and projects that apply to that client (projects have a name and other assorted properties) -- something like:

When I enter a new Meeting in the meetings database, i want to select a Client, and then based on that Client selection I want to select a project from only those projects that belong to that client.

I'm sure it's something with relations, filters, filter functions, etc but just can't wrap my head around it. I'd appreciate a brief step by step of how to configure this (or a link to a tutorial that clearly I'm not searching for correctly).

Thanks!

It seems I need to grant the Notion app access, but it has all the access I can give it, so…?

I just upgraded my workspace to the free Education Plus plan using my school email. I was wondering what the exact limits are for Notion AI on this plan.

Is AI prompting unlimited, or is it capped at a certain number of responses/credits? If anyone on the Edu plan is currently using AI, how quickly do you hit the limit, and what workarounds (like external tools or APIs) do you recommend once it runs out?

Thanks!
