Example: Save email to Notion

A workflow that saves forwarded emails to Notion:


When I forward an email with "save:" in the subject:
1. Extract the title from after "save:"
2. Use the email body as page content
3. Create a page in my "Saved Emails" database
4. Add properties: sender, date, original subject
5. Reply with a link to the Notion page

Configuration

Page access

During Notion authorization, you select which pages and databases Town can access. Only shared content is visible to your assistant.

To add more pages:

Go to Integrations
Click Manage on Notion
Update your page selections

Database structure

When creating database entries, your workflow should match the database schema. Check your database properties and types before configuring.

Best practices

Share specific pages. Only share the pages and databases your workflows need. This improves security and reduces noise.

Use approval-required for writes. Creating pages and entries affects your Notion workspace. Review before creating.

Match database schemas. When adding entries, ensure your workflow provides the right property types.

Troubleshooting

Can’t find pages

Check that the page is shared with Town in Notion
Verify the page title matches your search
Try reconnecting and re-selecting pages

Database entry fails

Ensure all required properties are provided
Check that property types match (text, number, date, etc.)
Verify you have edit access to the database

Search returns nothing

Notion search only includes shared content
Try broader search terms
Check that content exists in shared pages
