Automate your workflow and free up time by leveraging the Notion API to turn your Notion Workspace into a true powerhouse.

Connect Notion to Google Calendar for easy planning, synch it with Todoist for Quick Capture or send emails to Notion in seconds. The best thing?

Imagine you run a company and department 1 reports to you expecting that you pass that information on to department 2 (wich happens to be located on the same floor as department 1) and vice versa.
You wouldn’t want to play messenger as the boss, now would you? You’d tell them to get their act together and communicate directly and only report information to you that’s destined for you.
