Automation Overview

Automation is the part of NotionApps that moves work forward after a user takes an action. A data page answers: what records can users view, add, or edit? Automation answers: what should happen next?

What good automation feels like

A real user can start it, the right recipient can see it, the app explains what happened, and failures show up on a screen (Notification Center, Approval Inbox, Workflow Status, or Exception Resolution).
