Acquiring Automate.io
Exciting news! We're acquiring Automate.io!
This will accelerate our ability to build high quality integrations for teams & businesses, as well as more features for developers building on the Notion API.
Dynamic @today & @now mentions in database templates
When you're taking notes, typing @today or @now lets you quickly record the current day's date. They automatically resolve to display the month, day, and year as time passes, but they didn't work within database templates — until now.
When you type @today or @now while editing a database template, you'll see two options: one to record today's date, and a new option, Date when duplicated, which creates a dynamic date mention each time the template is used in the future.
New emojis & page icons 🐈⬛
We've heard it many times: there's something especially therapeutic about selecting the perfect emoji for your Notion pages. Plus, they make your content much easier to find later!
Now there are dozens of new emojis to choose from — add them as page icons at the top of your docs and databases, or type them inline in any paragraph with the : key, followed by the name of the emoji.
Copy database properties to your clipboard in one click
Before, it took several clicks to take the information from a database property and copy it to your clipboard for pasting elsewhere.
Now you'll find convenient **Copy to Clipboard**
buttons next to Text, Number, URL, Phone, Email, Created time, and Last edited time properties, making for a much faster workflow.
Better URL properties in databases
URL properties in your databases are now easier to use. Clicking the URL opens that page in your web browser, rather than selecting the property for editing. And there's a new Edit URL
button that appears when you hover over the property with your cursor.
Recently visited pages sync across devices
When you first open the Quick Find
window, the first thing you'll see is a list of your RECENT PAGES. Now these sync across all your browsers & devices!
For example, if you're working on a page in the desktop app, it'll appear at the top of your RECENT PAGES section the next time you access your workspace in the mobile app.
Better quote blocks
Recently, we added the ability to include rich content within callout blocks. Now you can do the same with quote blocks!
To do this, grab a piece of content (such as images, bullets, databases & more) by the ⋮⋮ block handle to its left, then drag inside the quote block.
