Buddy for Notion

Connect Notion and tell me what you need out of it. I’ll read your pages and databases and text you the part that matters, on a schedule if you like.

Two designers sharing one studio in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on a Friday that’s already full.

Connect Notion once, then tell me what to pull and when. I’ll read it and text you the short list.

  • What’s overdue in our Projects board?
  • Put these meeting notes on a new page in Notion.
  • Every Monday at 8, tell me what’s due this week in Notion.

Connect Notion and tell me what you need out of it. I’ll read your pages and databases and text you the part that matters, on a schedule if you like.

From your Notion to your phone

  1. Connect Notion

    Ask me and I’ll send a setup link, or open Connected apps on your account. You finish the sign-in yourself and review the access Notion asks for.

  2. Tell me what to pull

    Name the page or database and what you want from it, like what’s due or what’s overdue. Add a day and time if you want it every week.

  3. Get the short list

    I read it and text you what matters. Ask about any item and I’ll look closer.

More you can ask for

  • Every Friday, pull what’s due next week from Notion.
  • Search our Notion for what we promised Tidewater about revisions.
  • Read our style guide page in Notion and check this headline copy against it.
  • Find our client onboarding checklist in Notion and send me the steps.
  • Add the due dates from this client email to the Harbor Bakery card in Notion.
  • Turn next week’s Notion tasks into a spreadsheet I can print.

What you get back

  • A short list by text

    What’s due, when, and for which project, sent where you already talk to me.

  • On your schedule

    Every Friday, every Monday morning, or just once. Change the time or stop it whenever you want.

    Reminders and ongoing work

  • New pages when you ask

    Ask me to put notes, a plan, or a checklist on a new Notion page. Connecting Notion doesn’t mean I’ll change it on my own.

    Connected apps

  • A file to keep

    Ask for the list as a spreadsheet or a PDF you can print.

Questions people ask

What can Buddy see in Notion?

The pages and databases your connection can reach. Not every Notion feature is supported, so ask Buddy if you’re unsure about one.

Will he change anything in Notion?

Not on his own. He adds or changes a page only when you ask.

What if the Friday update stops coming?

An expired sign-in or a changed permission can interrupt a connection. Buddy should tell you what he needs. Reconnect through the setup instructions, never by sending a password in chat.

How do I stop it or disconnect Notion?

To stop the Friday update, ask Buddy in the conversation where you set it up, or open Settings, then Scheduled work, in the VXBE desktop app. Disconnecting Notion is a separate step in the connected-app settings.

Next week, in one text on Friday.
