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:
- 🤖 Auto-generate page titles, based on property values
- 👥 CRM reminders: get notified in Slack when it's time to nurture a lead or contact
- ✅ Create recurring tasks
- 🤝 Hiring: automate emails to candidates as they move in the funnel
- 💁 Great for agencies: get notifications in customer-specific Slack channels

And we will suggest useful automations for you 💪

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!
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.
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 🚀
@leanzubrezki Thanks Lean! It's great to be part of this community of builders, alongside you :)
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
I built my recruiting CRM with Notion and the:gist and it was so simple. Highly recommended for building no code automations
@idoshamun Thank you Ido! It's great to know the:gist is helpful in your hiring workflow!
Super practical tool to automate everything I need - right within Notion. Feels much simpler and integrated than Zapier etc. 💯
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 🥳
Love the product! Such a cool concept. I've been playing around with beta for a few weeks now.
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.
👏👏👏 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!
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!
@timjeffries Thanks Tim!! loved getting your feedback over the past couple of months!
