Crisp and Intercom chat Add **Crisp** or **Intercom** under Integrations, paste the Website ID / App ID, publish. The widget loads in the published app. Same mental model as Google Sign-In — no per-domain snippet hunt. #### 2. Auth0, Okta, and email & password Connect Auth0 or Okta with guided callback copy, or turn on **Email & password** as a NotionApps-hosted method next to Google / SSO. Live-demo persona **login codes** still work when email/password is also enabled. If a verification `code` is present, login verifies OTP instead of requiring a password. #### 3. Who gets which integration Integrations are **not** “paid plan = everything.” Each provider is its own capability. The most specific grant wins: one app, then the account, then the plan default. Typical defaults (your workspace can differ if NotionApps granted an exception): | Provider | Typical default | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Email & password** | On for paid plans | | **Google Sign-In** | On for paid plans | | **Crisp / Intercom** | Off until the plan includes chat, or NotionApps grants your account or one app | | **Auth0 / Okta** | Off until the plan includes SSO, or NotionApps grants your account or one app | | **Free** | Integrations off by default | If a provider is missing from **Add Integration** or shows an upgrade prompt, your plan does not include it. Contact NotionApps support — we can grant a provider for your **account** or a **single app** without changing your Stripe plan. Do not try to force it with Advanced JSON. Full reference: [Plans and entitlements](https://docs.notionapps.com/plans-and-entitlements) and [Integrations](https://docs.notionapps.com/integrations/integrations). #### 4. Identity admin and signup defaults **Users → Identity** manages who can sign in and what role they hold (role catalog, optional dual-write to Users, Add User, origin, password reset). Screen visibility and list filters still use Users DB properties. When self-serve signup is on, makers can set **default Users metadata** stamped onto new rows (Role, Client, Team, and so on). #### 5. Form HTML Block Create / Update forms accept an **HTML Block**: visual editor + CSS panel, sandboxed (HTML + CSS, no maker JavaScript). Blocks size to their content so they don’t sit in an inner scrollbar. #### 6. Automation onboarding and Messaging builder First-run Automation orientation plus Notify / Approval first-win paths from Home. Messaging objects are inspectable and editable in the builder without starting from raw JSON. #### 7. Messaging and Workflow webhooks **Messaging:** inbound `POST` onto a channel/topic; outbound Webhook subscribers deliver a live HTTP `POST`. **Workflow:** **Webhook received** trigger (central or per-app alias) and **Notify → Webhook** outbound. Shared token: `x-notionapps-webhook-token`. Admin kill switches and intake/egress live under Workflow Operations and Messaging Operations (independent entitlements). #### 8. Notify `{{payload}}` tokens and JSON IntelliSense Notify Subject/Body accept mixed literal text and `{{payload.fields.…}}`. `{{payload.fields}}` dumps every submitted value. Power-user JSON (workflow, simulator, Messaging, integration advanced JSON) has type-ahead: Ctrl/⌘+Space, Tab/Enter. #### 9. Templates catalog redirect `https://www.notionapps.com/templates` and `https://www.notionapps.com/templates/:path*` permanently redirect to `https://www.notionapps.com/app-templates`. Staging (`kintevo.com/templates`) goes to `https://www.kintevo.com/app-templates`. Old bookmarks and ads stop 404ing. #### 10. SaaS Metrics (admin) **Billing → SaaS Metrics** (`admin.metrics.view`): cached snapshot of signups, Notion-connected activation, paid / active logos from Mongo + Stripe (`refresh=1` recomputes). New accounts store signup UTM / referrer and first Notion-connect time. *** ### Bug fixes and polish #### Login chrome and credential errors Desktop auth card no longer clips on short viewports. Wrong email/password shows a clearer error. Okta / multi-method login keeps a steadier background. Desktop guest **Login** is easier to hit. #### Live-demo OTP when email/password is on Apps that mint live-demo OTP codes but have email/password as the primary auth type no longer return `InvalidData` / password on persona login. #### Form InvalidText saves Text-like form payloads that used to fail with InvalidText are coerced to `string|null` so saves succeed. (Also on prod `main` as of 13 Aug; included here so the 23 Aug window is complete.) #### Identity console on first setup Identity opens correctly during app setup instead of failing the first-time Identity path. #### Application Inventory paging Inventory advances by account pages instead of stalling mid-list. #### HTML Block auto-height Form HTML Blocks size to content so they sit in the form without an inner scrollbar. *** ### Documentation for this release | Doc | Link | | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Integrations | [Open](https://docs.notionapps.com/integrations/integrations) | | Plans and entitlements | [Open](https://docs.notionapps.com/plans-and-entitlements) | | Identity admin | [Open](https://docs.notionapps.com/users/identity-admin) | | Webhook technical reference | [Open](https://docs.notionapps.com/automation/webhooks-and-integrations/webhook-technical-reference) | | Start from a wizard | [Open](https://docs.notionapps.com/automation/start-from-a-wizard) | | Messaging how-to | [Open](https://docs.notionapps.com/automation/notionapps-messaging-how-to-guide) | | Workflow how-to | [Open](https://docs.notionapps.com/automation/notionapps-workflow-how-to-guide) | | Start from a template | [Open](https://docs.notionapps.com/get-started/start-from-a-template) | *** ### Recommended learning path 1.
