Hello everyone.
Recently, the database button update has been introduced in Notion. This feature is incredibly helpful for automating some tasks beyond the traditional automations.
Notionapps already has the feature to add buttons within the app. It would be incredibly helpful if these buttons could reference Notion database buttons to execute the functions stored there!
Thank you very much for this great opportunity!
Is there anything specific you hope to achieve with the button?
I personally use database automation trigger to run automation inside NotionApps.
@jamiwe Would love to hear your answer to Thomas’s question. It would help us understand your requirements better.
I do run database automations in Notion as well, the problem is that the changes do only occur in NotionApps after a manual reload which takes some time with about 2000 database entries.
I do use a button to set specific entires in the database item.
e.g.
Customer
Date
Consulting process
Sales done?
Button: SALE DONE
After the sale is done, I click the button. I create a new page in a second database to track revenue. Than Date and Salesprocess are emptied. And the appoint will no longer occur in my “today” view. I would be happy to provide additional information!
Thanks for your efforts!
Hi,
We currently have multiple buttons in our notion database that we simply cannot live without.
The most important ones create/edit entries in another database, whist also changing the status of the task. These also allow us to identify when the button was pressed and by who. To put it simply, our biggest buttons are the start, stop and finish work buttons.
We are currently using our notion database with our employees, yet allowing them limited permissions to attempt that their view is minimized and simple. NotionApps would be perfect for this, but we will not be able to integrate it until the buttons in our databases can be linked with NotionApps.
Thank you!
Hello @GARAGE_CELERITY. Unfortunately, Notion does not expose the buttons to third party integrations. We are in talks with them to open up their API. I will keep you updated as we make progress here.
Hi @jatin_notionapps thank you for this. We are looking forward to working with NotionApps. If there is anything we can do on our side to help out, please let us know.
@jatin_notionapps Notion API Overview does this help at all? We’re eager to get NotionApps up and running. Thanks
I’m sorry @GARAGE_CELERITY, but Notion does not support Buttons with third-party integrations like ours, just yet. You won’t find any Notion integration supporting buttons.
If you’re heavily reliant on buttons, I would suggest sticking to Notion as NotionApps can’t support it till Notion exposes it.
