Not me using multiple formulas for subtask percentages with conditions on the Select property to formulate a checkbox that automatically pushes a task to my clients portal 6 months ago only just to have this feature rolled out 😂. I'm glad its here!
Thank you!! Just saw this feature this morning and hadn't had a chance to play with it. Saw your email and decided to check it out - going to find an excuse to use it :)
Excellent video. What a great improvement. Can this be used across databases? If an event is completed in database A, can a field in database B be updated?
I have a paid account but the automations are not available in the database example you shared. Is there a way to turn this feature on in settings that I've missed? 🤔
I'm actually a bit disappointed that they didn't add the most basic of the basic of automation. 1. to be able to add and autofill the name of the page with the same name of the [add page] trigger. 2. to be able to add a backlink to a page that the trigger page created. I have a physical asset page with database of all my devices, collection or stuff. so I tried automating Adding page to my expenses database the Trigger is [when a page is added to physical asset] do this [add page to expenses database] and that is when things just failed. 1. it doesn't autofill the name property to the same name of my trigger page 2. it doesn't even give me an option to atleast auto add a backlink so I knew these 2 pages are connected. this was the most frustrated part of the automation function that I encounter.
what if after updating done status by the 1st assignee the status is been by the ceo change back again into in progress because of some revision how would the time stamp for that
Unfortunately with Notion we can’t update an automation with another automation’s results. Only the first leg of the automation gets automated based on your trigger. Triggers can only be “triggered” when a human-based action takes place. Now, this may not apply to the api, I haven’t tested that… however, in Notion recurring templates and automation results can’t serve as triggers as of now in 2023z
As it is part of the paid plan, I want to know if I sell templates using this feature. Will my clients on a free plan with limited access be able to use the template of database with automations I set?
Oof sorry I wanted to get this out the day the feature came out. It’s hard to learn, teach and build use cases in one day. I plan on releasing more use cases in the future
