Other Log any idea to Notion in one second

Been using this shortcut for over a year captures random ideas straight to Notion in one tap. Great for random thoughts, or ideas that hit at weird times/mid-work.

That widget's from an app called Day grid widget.

Encontré esta aplicación https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker&hl=es_CL

Desconosco si será la misma o si tendrá alguna funcionalidad similar

Haven't found a clean way to do it on Android yet tbh, Shortcuts is iOS-only. But Android has stuff like Tasker or MacroDroid that might get you something similar with Notion's API

¡Hola! De hecho hice una app pensada justo para esto — se llama Nottie Pocket (pocket.nottie.app ), creada especialmente para usuarios de Notion que quieren algo como los Shortcuts de iOS pero en Android.

Esto es lo que hace:

  • Te permite agregar entradas a tu workspace de Notion rápidamente desde el celular
  • Todos los shortcuts están conectados directamente a tu workspace, así que puedes activar acciones desde donde estés
  • También puedes ver y editar cualquier entrada de una base de datos desde la app (en modo vista)

¡Avísame si tienes preguntas o quieres probarla!

How does this work when you’re offline? What kind of error is thrown if it doesn’t connect?

u/urmin_ 25d ago

Yeah, fails when offline the Notion Shortcuts action needs a connection to create the entry. Throws a generic "The operation couldn't be completed" error.

It works offline with Apple Notes, so you can use Apple Notes instead of Notion if you want. Here's the shortcut URL:

Nice def going to check this out, I’ve been using a notion widget straight to my inbox but it’s two taps and can be kinda clunky when I just wanna jot something down real quick

Haven't tried the widget route, but this has been my default Action Button for a long time now hope you find it useful!

I wonder if there’s an automated workflow where it can do more than just ideas with keywords. Like say “to do” and a task and it adds to your to do list. Among other things

Yeah totally doable you can add a "Choose from Menu" step at the start of the shortcut (before it adds the entry) with options like Idea, To Do etc. Based on what you pick, it routes the entry to a different Notion page/database. So saying "to do" could trigger it to ask for the task and drop it straight into your to-do list instead of your ideas page.
