# Can I use my Notion database button based automation with NotionApps?

As a third-party provider, NotionApps does not have access to the Notion "Button" database property. 

There are workarounds possible to trigger your Notion automation directly from NotionApps. 

To implement the workaround, 

1. Create a new "Select" property with each option representing an automation you'd like to run.
2. Trigger your automation on the "Property edited" trigger and choose the newly created "Select" property.
3. Create a dropdown inside NotionApps to represent the new property.

Now, when you'd like to trigger a particular automation, just select the corresponding option from the dropdown in the app & save. This will trigger the relevant automation.

**Original flow on Notion**

Multiple buttons → Button clicked → Automation Triggered

**New flow with NotionApps**

Option selected in the dropdown in the app → Save →  Data saved to Notion → Automation Triggered
