Zapier Collaboration: 8 Strategies for a Powerful Notion Workspace

Zapier is a popular service for connecting your everyday apps. For example, when a contact is added to your CRM, you can add it to a Google Sheet.

To establish these connections, Zapier uses each app’s API. Thus, when Notion releases its highly anticipated API, a Zapier integration will allow you to sync your databases with other apps.

In anticipation of that exciting new capability, I partnered with Zapier to publish 8 Strategies for a Powerful Notion Workspace, along with an accompanying video.

Bulk-Edit Database Items

On occasion, you need to update many items of a Notion database. Notion makes it easy with an underutilized trick.

Selectively Display Sidebar Pages

You can now tidy your sidebar by choosing which shared pages to display and hide.

Notion Accelerates Performance by 50%

Before resuming feature updates, Notion remains laser-focused on improved loading speeds. That initiative became evident to users when a series of updates boosted speeds by more than 50%.

New Database Guides

Notion’s distinct power is in its unique blend of databases and documents. I’m always publishing new resources to help users learn and leverage databases. Most recently, I published guides to the Rollup property, the versatile if() function, and formulas for work.

April Releases: Safari Web Clipper and New Payment Methods

Web Clipper makes it easy to save content from the web to your Notion workspaces. Following support for iOS, Android, Chrome and Firefox, it’s now available for Safari.

Also among the April releases, Notion also now supports Apple Pay and Google Pay for managing your paid plans.

Fresh Notion Icons

I’m continuously updating the Notion Icons collection. The free tool offers the easiest route to a polished, professional workspace.
