Thank you @benln for the hunt! We’re a trio of best friends who recently started building projects together. We love Notion, and believe automation is key to productivity. We felt existing solutions are too hard to set up, and can get expensive quickly! We built the:gist to help make Notion more useful for important needs like tasks, CRM, and hiring. How is the:gist different? 1. Do more: if you can write a formula for it, you can automate it (others don't monitor formulas!) 2. Keep it simple: no more elaborate scenarios/zaps. 3. Spend less: we only charge you per trigger (when something useful happens). Popular use cases: - πŸ€– Auto-generate page titles, based on property values - πŸ‘₯ CRM reminders: get notified in Slack when it's time to nurture a lead or contact - βœ… Create recurring tasks - 🀝 Hiring: automate emails to candidates as they move in the funnel - πŸ’ Great for agencies: get notifications in customer-specific Slack channels Need ideas for what to automate? Tell us how you use Notion in the comments below πŸ‘‡ And we will suggest useful automations for you πŸ’ͺ Dan, David & Elad

Easily my favourite supporting tool in my work designing custom Notion workspaces. the:gist has helped me overcome some of the biggest limitations of Notion and enabled a new level of automation I'd been dreaming about. Congrats on the product, it's a game changer!

@iamdsv Thanks Daniel!!!

Love that you built a solution for a very real need that you both observed and personally experienced. I'm not a Notion user (yet?) but it seems that you've added real value to the service.

@mickwe Thank you Mick <3 We definitely recommend checking out Notion :)

This really feels like a notion product to me (and my team), rather than a 3rd party tool. I can honestly say that it has massively helped us to improve our communications throughout our team - because it helps us to automate much of the stuff that humans tend to forget to do. I could not rate the:gist any more highly than I do. Also, I have had such excellent interactions with @danpeguine and @eladmallel who has been waaaay more accommodating to our questions than he should have been. If you love Notion as I do, then you should be using the:gist, in my humble opinion. It genuinely takes it to another level.

@danpeguine @embryo Thank you James! Your support means a lot to us!
Ido Shamun
I built my recruiting CRM with Notion and the:gist and it was so simple. Highly recommended for building no code automations
Elad Mallel
@idoshamun Thank you Ido! It's great to know the:gist is helpful in your hiring workflow!

I've been using The:Gist for a couple of months now and it's a total game changer. Being able to trigger automations when a change is made to a page is such a key feature and I'm so glad that these guys have figured out how to do it. I've already created several automations like setting up email notifications, setting up recurring tasks, rescheduling overdue tasks and sending e-signature agreements, when a checkbox is ticked. Every Notion user should check out this service.

@aplssf Thank you Alex for helping us figure out what this tool should be from day one! It's thanks to your feedback that a lot of product decisions were made!

Charlotte Fallon
We've been implementing some of the notion automations from the gist over the past few weeks and it's already hugely helping remove manual tasks, and we've not even got started yet. The slack support from the team at the gist is great and also had several calls with Elad to get stuff up and running. Great product and customer service
Elad Mallel
@charlotte_fallon Thank you Charlotte, it's been a pleasure working with you!

It's a big yes ! Notion automations are much needed when you want to take the tool to the next level :) It's also a great team behind the product ! Congratz guys and best of luck for the launch πŸ₯³
Peter Watson
What a great product @danpeguine . This is like the secret chemical X that takes Notion to a whole other level. And that is even after considering other automation apps like Zapier. Yes, I said it. the:gist definitely has the potential to oust Zapier for Notion automation! I can't wait to see what's next.
Dan Peguine
@peter_watson3 thank you Peter! trying to make automations more accessible!
Amber Sean
What a practical product, love the minimalism of it too! Congrats on the launch!
Dan Peguine
@sharlyne_simon_123rf thank you Sharlyne! tried to keep it simple ;)
Nikki Davidson
The:gist has been the missing link in my automations. Everything runs so smoothly now. It can also be quite addictive. I keep thinking of new ways to automate my system. I'm building things in Notion I wouldn't have thought could be done. The:gist makes the impossible possible.
Elad Mallel
Thank you @automated_notion for your feedback and support!
Dominik Sobe
Super practical tool to automate everything I need - right within Notion. Feels much simpler and integrated than Zapier etc. πŸ’―
Dan Peguine
Thank you Dominik!
