Notion is really upping their automations game. This week, they just launched a brand new feature called Database Automations, which lets you do some really cool stuff, such as doing native time tracking directly inside of Notion. That's right, we are hopping directly into examples. So in this database, I've got a little automation that will create a timestamp in this completed date property anytime my status on a task goes from in progress to complete. And then I'm gonna be able to see how long the task took, which might be nice for some time tracking purposes. Let me show you how it works. If I Alt click this little status property, I'm gonna set this to done. And then a couple of seconds,I'll have my timestamp pop it into completed like that.And we can see that this task took two hours and 42 minutes and zero seconds.But automations get a whole lot cooler than that my friends.What about creating default tasks whenever I create a brand new project inside a project database,such as a content projects area where I might have YouTube videos I'm working on.Well,if I go ahead and add a brand new project,I'm gonna see all of these default tasks popping in in just a second.And not only do I have these default tasks,but I have assignees for those tasks automatically set.And if I go into any of these projects,I'll be able to see all of those tasks directly in them.I've got my assignee set up.So this automation is allowing us to do a lot of really cool things directly inside of Notion auto magically.
