Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 11/10/2025Notion challenge for this weekend: you can only use Notion with your right agent chat - the rest of the UI is lava 🔥 great exercise to explore the power of the new Notion Agents s/o to Akshay Kothari for sharing this one during the community ama 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 10/10/2025what's your favourite Notion AI workflow with the new agents? 🤔 working on a big use case round-up video this weekend 💪🏻 just heading back from Make with Notion in Munich, perfect time to work on a script 😇 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 09/10/2025What's better than one Notion event? Two back-to-back Notion conferences 😍 So excited to be here in Munich today - if you're here, say hello and drop by my talk later! We'll share some really cool tips on how to make the most of Notion AI using the ACDC framework 😎 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 03/10/2025For example, here's a screenshot from a travel plan that I had Notion Agent put together for an upcoming vacation 😍 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 03/10/2025The map view is now live in Notion! 😍 Simply add a location property, search for a place and have it render on an interactive map 💪🏻 Works amazingly well in combination with the new Notion agents! 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 15/09/2025Notion's biggest event of the year is nearly here - what do you think they'll release in 3 days? 😎 Working on the day 0 launch guide right now. Will keep you posted about everything you need to know 😇 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 12/09/2025It's Friday! What did you build this week? 😇 little bonus gif of wrapping up a client knowledge built 😎 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 10/09/2025I'll buy the new Apple airpods for everyone at my Notion consultancy - this feature is insane! 010
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 10/09/2025fun little workflow powering our automated Notion Updates - whenever Notion is changing anything, you can get a ping in your workspace 😎 if you're curious how, lmk and I'll send you a quick loom walkthrough (need to be connected so I can DM you) 110
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 09/09/2025❌ Notion is... dead? That's the headline of the email I just sent to 36,352 people Wanna know what it's about? let me know below and I'll forward it to you (please connect first so I can DM you) 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 08/09/2025Quick little Notion trick - make your team pages more engaging! 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 07/09/2025working on something really cool to help you make sense of your Notion workspaces 👀 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 06/09/2025spreading the love for Notion AI & getting invited to pasta in rome in return 😍 how's your weekend going? 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 04/09/2025Let me know if you'd like to see the full walkthrough (and our reasons behind it) for this style of Notion Architecture (make sure to connect so I can message you) 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 04/09/2025(i.e. you could have contacts, companies & clients all in one database) but... should you actually use this? or are the downsides too big at this point? I mapped out how we will use this update to build Notion systems going forward 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 04/09/2025Notion just dropped its new databases - probably the update with the biggest confusion potential of 2025? So... what's happening? Databases evolve to database containers Meaning you can now have multiple data sources in one database block 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 03/09/2025Outside of that, it's not yet easily possible to switch data centers as a self-serve customer, but that's hopefully now just a matter of time 😇 checking one more thing of the bucket list before the big conference in a few weeks ... I wonder what they'll release there? 😎 Any guesses? 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 03/09/2025🇪🇺 EU Data Residency is here for Notion! 😍 This is a huge step forward for adoption in EMEA - really excited to see this! For now, access is still a bit limited unfortunately: - need to be on enterprise plan - need to have "sales assistance", i.e. more than 100 seats 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 29/08/2025new Notion update: you can now move the comment section on pages below the content 💪🏻 To do so, go into the Database Layout Customisation menu and then choose the location 😇 010
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 29/08/2025took me 5 minutes to create these custom radar charts for Notion... the future is bright 😍 Can you guess how? 😎 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 28/08/2025I think I spend about 3 hours every day talking to AI at the moment how about you? 110
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 28/08/2025That means you can't yet set group ownership and then have it inherit down to the individual "what's on my plate" pages. So for now, more of a nice-to-have than a workflow change But keep your eyes peeled 👀 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 28/08/2025New Notion Update - you can now mention groups in people properties! 🔥 Love to see this small but meaningful change For now, the functionality is still a bit limited, mostly because the all-important "Me Filter" doesn't trigger based on groups. 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 27/08/2025Because while you can't turn off certain AI features yet, AI will respect user permissions. So if the user can't make a change, AI won't make a change on their behalf. sooo... time for a security audit? 😅 is your workspace AI-ready? 010
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 27/08/2025- aaand even change database structures (oh sh**) Already before this change, the first thing we did in every new client workspace was to make sure those security settings are correct. And now that users can also accidentally have AI make these changes, this is more important than ever. 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 27/08/2025Now, what's the background? Notion AI is finally getting the skills to do things for you. it now can... - search through databases (finally!) - create new pages (pretty cool) - update page content (uh oh) - update database entries (... wait, really?) 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 27/08/2025Your Notion might be at risk... (... and yeah, AI is partially to blame 😅) with the new AI features rolling out in Notion, we'll unlock A TON of cool use cases But if you work in a team, then this is your last chance to improve security before things get really messy 110
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 26/08/2025I'm thinking about open-sourcing our brand new Notion Design Principles - the big picture approach of how we approach our client projects anyone who would be interested in that? 110
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 24/08/2025How long until we can post screenshots like this with Notion-based agents? 😎 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 23/08/2025Found this awesome n8n cheatsheet on reddit today - s/o to Philip Thomas for putting this together 💪🏻 010
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 22/08/2025lmk if you'd like to learn more about this - I got a 12 min walkthrough that goes over everything you need to know 😎 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 22/08/2025things like "calculate whether our OKRs are trending up or down based on the last 3 reports" or one of the classic "problems" of Notion formulas: how to calculate someone's next birthday (I'm serious - look for this on reddit, there are dozens of threads about this formula challenge) 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 22/08/2025Sooo this just happened... my Notion started writing the most complex formulas for me 🤯 new update just dropped today and it's absolutely insane with just one line of prompt, it's able to one-shot really complex formula logic 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 22/08/2025- and link the databases to each other it even added sample data to each database to that it's easier to visualise how the system would interact. absolutely crazy what Akshay & the team at Notion are building here 000
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 22/08/2025I knew I needed a bunch of databases in Notion to track that... so I asked the new agentic Notion AI to set things up. One mega prompt. and then I just watched it... - set up a backend - add 5 different databases - create the required properties - set up smart views 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 22/08/2025It's Friday! quick challenge: what was your favourite AI workflow this week? I'll start 👇🏼 had an amazing session with Jacob from Relay on how to set up a more robust content system for linkedin (plenty of amazing AI use cases in that one) 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025In fact, it's part of our "holy trinity of Notion databases" Tasks <> Projects <> Docs 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025Plus, your overall remaining architecture will be a bit cleaner with this split 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025The only reason to go for a single database setup here imo is when you really want to see a "continous waterfall chart" going from project to task to subtask 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025So in 98% of cases, separated databases will be easier to handle for those two 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025In case of projects and tasks, you typically have different properties to track one vs the other. Projects have an owner, maybe a team, a duration and can often have different status levels Tasks are usually more straightforward with a Due Date and an Owner 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025The moment when you wanna start thinking about several databases instead of one is typically when 1️⃣ you need very different properties to indicate the relevant meta-information, or 2️⃣ when having several databases better represents the reality of your business. 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025(it's one of the biggest traps people fall in with Notion early on - having tasks for project A, tasks for project B and so on...) 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025As a golden rule, you wanna have as few databases in Notion as possible. Just like with writing software, you'd ideally want to have single global databases per object. 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025The long answer would be "it depends." Here's a general process for how to think about databases in Notion: 100
Matthias @matthiasfrank.de · 21/08/2025The short answer would be: Have separate databases for projects and tasks. 100
