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!

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!
Leandro Zubrezki
Go ahead and give Notion superpowers! It is amazing to see all the new products around Notion that help users and allow them to do more and the:gist is one of them πŸš€
Elad Mallel
@leanzubrezki Thanks Lean! It's great to be part of this community of builders, alongside you :)

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

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!
Mick Weinstein
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.
Elad Mallel
@mickwe Thank you Mick <3 We definitely recommend checking out Notion :)
Dan Peguine
@mickwe Thanks Mick <3

Congrats on the launch! the:gist is really powerful and opens a lot of interesting doors for what you can do with Notion. It’s been cool to watch how much dedication was put into gathering feedback from beta testers and shaping with product with it
Dan Peguine
@trillcyborg Thanks Jason! no other way than constant feedback!! :)

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.
Elad Mallel
@danpeguine @embryo Thank you James! Your support means a lot to us!
Jeremy Foucray
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

I tried this product a week ago and already fallen in love. I used to have 2 rules for free account. I just noticed it downgraded to 1 rule a few days ago. Other than that, everything is great so far.
Tim Jeffries
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!
Dan Peguine
@timjeffries Thanks Tim!! loved getting your feedback over the past couple of months!
Elad Mallel
@timjeffries such a pleasure working with you!
Adrian Calderon
πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ the:gist is another amazing tool that's popped up in the expanding Notion ecosystem. Great work, @eladmallel @danpeguine @davidbrai, bringing this into the world!
Dan Peguine
@eladmallel @davidbrai @adrian_calderon Thank you Adrian! Notion's ecosystem keeps on growing!!
Adam Gries
Awesome new product! We use notion as a task list and project management tool and love the option to streamline key updates from there to other platforms such as Slack so we can natively communicate about them where our daily work happens.
Elad Mallel
Thanks @adamgries!!
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!
Maria Aldrey
Using The:Gist for a month so far. I’ve been able to automate aspects of my Notion workspaces. I love it. It’s so quick!
Dan Peguine
@maria_aldrey Thanks Maria!! trying to keep things easy and fast to set up!
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!
Sarah Scanlin
Love this idea! I always struggle to figure out how to even get started creating new pages and sections on my notion and thing this app would be such a help!
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!
Cicely Ward
Thank you for introducing this product to us guys! Already seeing such a huge impact. If you use Notion you MUST use this product to take you to the next level. Thank you Elad for all of your help so far!
Dan Peguine
@cicely_ward Thanks Cicely!
Amber Sean
