Notion Weekly News

To keep you informed of everything that has happened this week, I've put together a summary of the top news stories. Let’s dive in!

No More Logouts in Notion

Finally! We can wave goodbye to unexpected logouts in Notion!

Notion has improved their system so you can stay safely signed in to your accounts without any breaks.

This change will definitely improve user experience and make your interaction with Notion as uninterrupted as possible.

Plus, you will now receive immediate email alerts whenever your Notion account is accessed from a new device. It ensures that you're always informed of who is accessing your account and from where, adding an extra layer of security to your Notion experience.

Keep up-to-date and secure with Notion!

Notion’s New Look (Free Phone + Desktop Backgrounds)

Have you noticed? Notion has a new look!

The new design was built with a focus on imagination over drudgery, highlighting a seamless work environment where tasks are effortlessly managed.

Notion has also updated us with the new slogan: "Think it. Make it."

You can make it yours as well! From phone wallpapers to desktop backgrounds, along with the playlist that inspired everything.

2 Handy Feature Updates

Let’s dive into a couple of cool new updates about Notifications and Automations in Notion!

Tip: Enhanced In-App Notifications

Yes, you heard it right, Notion has enhanced In-App Notifications!

Now, you can target up to 20 users directly, ensuring your team stays in the loop more efficiently. It’s perfect for group projects, mentioning specific users or roles in automations for real-time updates.

Use cases:
▪️ Alert account managers instantly when a client's status changes.
▪️ Notify project owners if a project hasn't moved for 2 days.
▪️ Inform the company owner about dips in customer satisfaction.

To make it happen, navigate to your database, find the three dots, and select automations. Next, specify when any of the automations should occur, and in the "Do this" field, select "Send notifications to" before choosing your recipients. And that's it!

Tip: Duplicated Automations in Notion

We can duplicate automations in Notion!

This is a great step forward, especially for people who have a really detailed automated system and need different versions of this automation to start under various conditions.

Earlier we had to create each variation from scratch manually. This process was time-consuming and often prone to errors due to the complexity and length of the automations.

Not anymore!

That's it!

Thank you so much for staying with me until the very end.
