⚠️ Notion Secrets EXPOSED: Create a Custom Notion Notification Center

Want to create a custom notification center inside of Notion? Here’s how I create mine! (Open for more!👇)
Being able to see your life at-a-glance is a game-changer! Which is part of why I love creating notification widgets in Notion. This is a formula heavy process, so check out my beginner’s guide to Notion formulas to learn more about the functions we use in this video. → • How to Use Notion Form...
*NOTE: You can create a notification using rollups for a less formula heavy option. In fact I used to do this myself! However, when I switched everything over to a formula-based model, I noticed the speed of my Notion workspace improved TREMENDOUSLY. No more lagging over here! That’s why I teach this method 😊

Such a great video!! Thank you so much for this. A quick note in case you don't know -- Notion recently added today() to formulas. It makes it soooo much easier. :)

[@itskatwaugh]

I think I saw that!! I need to go in and update all my formulas hahaha 🤣

[@VirginiaWDavis]

Wow .. LOVE this❣ That tip on font color is a game changer!!

[@itskatwaugh]

Right?!? Hello custom branding 😍

[@carlosnaveda]

Brilliant, thx a lot 😊

[@coletteholloway-]

Thank you soooo much girl I’m subbing ❤

[@itskatwaugh]

Excited to have you here! 🫶

[@harold.machado]

Thanks...

[@itskatwaugh]

You’re so welcome!

[@rspeckham]

Great video ❤ However, I would also love to add the “today is” bit that you have at the top. How do you do that?

[@itskatwaugh]

For sure! I add a string of “Today is “ and then I use the formatDate() function with this format: "dddd [the] Do [of] MMMM"

[@rspeckham]

@@itskatwaugh that’s great! Thank you 😊

[@Toykingdomgames]

I tried it but after the "today is" part, it says "end of input expected". what should i do?

[@Ashley_K_Akin]

My variable disappears and I can’t select it once I get to the if() part, what am I doing wrong 😢

[@itskatwaugh]

Oh noooo! It's hard for me to tell without being able to see it, but double check that you have correct formatting up until that point in the formula! (i.e. commas at the end of the lines, closed brackets, etc.) Is it giving you any errors?

[@Ashley_K_Akin]

@@itskatwaugh So I watched the video 3 times and went through my formula with a fine tooth comb and it worked!! I was missing a comma 😂 thank you for this video, so excited to have learned this!!

[@itskatwaugh]

@@Ashley_K_Akin Those commas will get ya 🤣 I'm glad you got it working!!

[@Algeriantravel2023]

Could you please write the formula here I’m struggling to donit

[@itskatwaugh]

Which one? There are a lot in the video…

[@Algeriantravel2023]

This is the formula: let ( /* Get Total Tasks for Today */ numberTodayTasks, My Tasks • filter(current. Due Date • formatDate("L") == formatDate(now(), "L") and current. Don == false). length(), /* Display */ if ( nderlodaylasks? 1 or nundertodaylass < * Tor o or mucciple tasks */ "You have " + numberTodayTasks + " tasks to accomplish today.", /* for one task */ I have problem here in numberTodayTasks I can not find it in my formula

[@DafniMoustakidi]

Everything please For whatever reason it doesn't work for me and it says that the expression of type "number" cannot be called idk why ​@@itskatwaugh

[@ultra-bloodbath4004]

@@itskatwaugh the one of 6:48 Would be great! I'm getting a couple errors despite copying it textually 😢

[@itskatwaugh]

@@ultra-bloodbath4004 gotcha! The formatting will not hold correctly in a KZbin comment and will become a mess to sort through. If you want to send me an email with the screenshot of the error & formula that would probably be easiest! Then we can take a look at what's going on in the context of your specific formula. My email is linked in my YT bio :)
