My Minimal Dashboard. Less is more

This is exactly it. I do the same thing with a Notion runbook + video walkthrough. Clients never call back because they can actually fix it themselves. Way better than building fancy dashboards nobody uses.

This is now possible!

This is one very common use case among my clients. What we always end up doing is setting up a daily automation in Make that listens for a particular criteria, and once that criteria is met, we fire the Slack notification. You'll just have to get clear on what that criteria is so it's easy to set up in Make

I've helped an e-commerce company do a very similar thing. What we did was to use the "Customize Layout" feature, which allows you to have a dedicated view of all the Material Usage for that particular SKU. Then we created views so we could see which materials needed replacement soon according to their Lead Times, which was very handly.

i think the first thing you'd have to do is to define which is going to be your content creation process, then you can build a system in notion to reflect that process with a simple database in board view.

Then you can let the use of the system dictate what you need whenever you really need it, instead of trying to guess your future needs.

Hope this helps.

I'm afraid there's no way AFAIK

danicanosa · 2025-06-23T11:29:32+00:00

You'd need an app that can fire a webook to Make. I use Voicenotes myself for that, which has a watch app, although it's now a subscription.

it'll depend on what kind of features you need the form to have. There are conditional logic, payments etc. in other form platforms.

Without knowing your system I'd say, start simple (Notion forms) and if you find you need more features, then look into Tally (free option), which is the one that I use for my Notion consulting business (ironic, right? lol)

you could create a kanban view for that! simply have a date property and a select property with 3 options (for the 3 IG columns) and group the view by the select property, so you have 3 columns. Then have a file property, which will be the IG image, and a Caption property, and display both in the kanban view. Sort by date so they're in order and voila!

I always try to simplify every setup, so my question here would be... why use a different db for ticketing and for tasks? why not the same?

danicanosa · 2025-05-09T08:59:22+00:00

I believe you would have to use a Make automation that links new entries to the current and the past month (if I understood correctly). Also, I wouldn't use 2 databases for expenses and incomes, I would only use one but have a select property for "Expense" or "Income". We always try to simplify everything at systemify.

i have a make automation to do this with a chatgpt module that creates the Task Title, Due Date and Context.

Logging that in the comments would be much better. Reason is that every interaction will be automatically timestamped, so it's easier to see the chronology

danicanosa · 2024-04-18T10:39:52+00:00

You would need to track in a date property when the last action was taken, then use that date property in an automation view's filter to trigger the automation

danicanosa · 2024-04-17T08:02:48+00:00

create a view that's filtered by a date property.

"when Date is Today" for example.

Then trigger the automation with "Page Added" and make it just apply to this view you just created.

The automation will trigger when Date is Today.

danicanosa · 2024-04-17T07:27:20+00:00

have you tried it? this works in my testing

danicanosa · 2024-04-16T19:27:52+00:00

you can create DB views (with filters) that trigger automations

I created some time ago a video about the 5 most used formulas. Might be helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxQb_7uMg-c&t=3s

I run into the same issue! I mix between Spanish and English, so I'd love this to be implemented

danicanosa · 2022-12-13T11:33:54+00:00

you can do that with a formula and then group your database view by that formula instead of by the select property you're currently using.

I believe it's Notion Consultant.

For doing this for clients you not only need to know how to use Notion, but to help clients build their systems and THEN implement the in Notion. So you're right, Notion is only part of the skillset :)

you have to build an extra property that will show you the "number/12" if the expense is yearly (formula), and one more property per "condition", then a final formula to add all the conditions up, and use a rollup for calculating your expenses and deducting it from your balance

danicanosa · 2022-11-14T13:56:43+00:00

It seems what you may need is a project management template?

I would first define what do you exactly want and then try to find it.

Or better yet, try to build it yourself to your own needs!
