Practical ways you can use Notion and Things

When new campaign-related content is added in Notion, Zapier can send it to your Things inbox as a to-do item. This ensures marketing initiatives are prioritized effectively without the risk of losing context or forgetting steps in task management software.

Marketing & Marketing Ops
Track team tasks in a single place

When a new task is created in Things, Zapier can automatically create a corresponding database item in Notion. This helps project managers keep a consolidated view of all tasks across platforms, reducing the time spent on manual updates and ensuring no task gets overlooked.
