A Helpful Guide to Designing Neurofriendly Notion Workspaces

This past week, Marie shipped a robust new guide based on both her experiences with ADHD as well as many of the principles in our Principles of Dashboarding Masterclass.

Turns out designing for neurodiversity is great for all people, and a lot of the same principles we design around are also great for creating "Neurofriendly" experiences.

New Features, New Videos

This past week we finally got one of the most-requested advanced features in Notion: Webhooks. If you don't know what a webhook is, I published a short video showing how you can get information from Notion in Zapier when changes happen in your workspace.

These "hooks" can be delivered anywhere you want (automation platforms, your own app) via automation steps in Buttons and Databases. It means that Notion's made it easier than ever to design application-style dashboards.

​

I've been a bit more prolific the last few weeks on YouTube. I decided I was going to stop editing my videos and just publish. So far so good. Here's what else I covered:

• ​Missing dynamic filters in Notion's "Edit pages in" Automation? Try this hack.​
• ​Know about this "secret" Notion feature? Creating templated pages from the slash command menu​.

Spark also released a very bare-bones Notion integration and I did a first look at that. TL;DW: it's not very exciting yet, but shows promise.

Year's End

The Notion Mastery team is off on our yearly retreat starting tomorrow and then it's onto the holidays, so this'll probably be our last newsletter for 2024.

If you're a Notion Mastery student of course we'll see you at our Annual Review event and an office hours event or two, but otherwise, we hope you have a safe new year and be well.
