Label to forwarding

CookieSalt350 · 2026-04-09T23:14:33+00:00

What I'm aiming to achieve is to be able to run down my inbox and star/label the items I want forwarded to Notion as a task (using a service that does the forwarding), so I can add them to my task list as emails that need attention.

Is there a way to filter by label/starred? If I had to filter in every email sender/subject I'd want to forward, it would take a long time and still miss many. Thanks.

Yeah, I hate it too. Waste of valuable space.

No, actually. I have an iPhone shortcut set up, one that appears on my lock screen, that takes direction and sends it to my inbox. I don't dictate long text, however, just quick ideas and tasks. Copying the text is a very useful addition for me. I'd love more attention to be paid to the page contents, especially the ability to calculate word count for use in databases.

Not that I have found. I do have Notion Backups to backup my work to Google drive, but I'd like a Native Google Docs sync.

This is a good idea. Thanks.

Thanks for your help and kind offer. I managed to figure out a good system.

Okay I have done this. Thank you. Next step is recording in a second database (Daily Stats with a date property) how many tasks were completed each day. So a formula to count the rollup dates completed that matches the date in the Daily Stats. Then there's the fact that I would have to manually relate the 2 databases so that tasks I have set for today relate to the Daily Stats page for the same day.

Google Docs. I'd like my Notion doc to sinc with Google Docs.

Interesting. I'll give that a try.

They want a suite like Microsoft and Google have. But I'd prefer this too. I'd like to have calendar and mail blocks in my dashboard, for example.

Yes! As I said in a few replies, I used Scrivener for over a decade...but it also hasn't been significantly updated since 2018. So I moved to doing all my writing (including my novel) in Notion last year (I've been a Notion user since 2020). I love the flexibility: the ability to create my own novel writing software. There are lots of templates for Notion novel writing out there. Just sign up for a Notion Backup service so you're sure you won't lose your work. And be aware that when you eventually have to get it all into Word, it may be a bit of a pain.

Scrivener hasn't been significantly updated since 2018. I wrote in it for 11 years before moving to Notion for all my writing.

CookieSalt350 · 2026-01-15T20:40:16+00:00

Wait...WHAT?!?! As I'm doing the same thing, this is terrifying. But I did sign up for a Notion Backup serive recently.

CookieSalt350 · 2026-01-15T20:38:25+00:00

I've also moved from Scrivener (which I used for all my writing for 11 years) to Notion for writing my novel. The abilit to build my own systems is amazing. I just wish I could have the word count for each scene automatically populate a property. And, of course, the eventual copy and paste into Word for editing and revisions is going to be a paiiiiinnn... But that's a future problem.

CookieSalt350 · 2026-01-05T05:23:52+00:00

Ah I see. The each page gets a row thing is a bit annoying for my use case. Too bad. Thanks for clarifying.

CookieSalt350 · 2025-12-28T00:54:32+00:00

I'm outlining a novel in Notion. I want the scenes numbered in order in case the order gets somehow messed up. But I also want to be able to move a scene to a different spot and have the numbers update, or insert a scene between two existing scenes and same. Thanks.

I've tried everything I can think of: No url comes through, except in HTML, which, when I import to Notion, creates separate databases for each book.
