UPDATE:
The Notion integration is now available for public beta access.
We will be working over the coming weeks to add more features and fix any bugs that are found.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to support@sunsama.com or through the chat support with any feedback you guys have.

You may have already started but it would be great to support the new Notion's status property type.
https://www.notion.so/releases/2022-06-29
Currently it appears on the property selection but filtering and automations are not supported.
Besides, the default value is ignored at property display. (I presume notion displays the default value when the status property is actually null).
At notion, we've just switched from the normal select property to the new status property and probably many people are starting use it soon. I hope Sunsama supports this property too.
Best,
Satoshi
Miles Mitchell
Satoshi Onoda: Agreed! Lovin the new status property with its categories and would like to see it supported in Sunsama.

It's now possible to auto-assign a channel to task imported from Notion based on it's properties in Notion. You can configure these automations from your "Automations" tab inside the Notion panel.
This is our most powerful channel assignment automation yet:
- Build out conditions that represent your workflow
- Set import rules based on the exact property values in Notion

Is it possible to access linked databases? For example, I am a guest on a workspace that has a database and they do not use Sunsama so I can't access it via the app. However I can copy it as a linked database into my own workspace but it doesn't show up on my list of accessible databases on Sunsama. Any way this is possible? Thank you!

We're excited to announce one of our most anticipated integrations of all time - Notion!
It's now super easy to browse all your Notion databases and pull in just the tasks you need to work on that day into your plan in Sunsama.
Here's what you can do with the new Notion integration:
👀 Browse all your Notion databases and tasks from inside Sunsama
⚙️ Build custom views of your databases to fit your daily planning flow
⚡️ Automations keep Notion fields synced with changes in Sunsama
📤 Export tasks from Sunsama to Notion
➕ Integrate as many Notion Workspaces as you want
See how it works here: https://www.loom.com/share/8922733f75074e51b4df808f079fd7f3

Ashutosh Priyadarshy: I was contemplating having to leave Sunsama, but now I definitely have a reason to stay. Thanks so much for working hard and getting this going so soon after the public API release!

We have had a few busy weeks and we are happy to say that we have now released several awesome new features to the Notion integration!
- Import and completion automations
- Support for viewing most of the page content.
- Support for multiple workspaces
Please feel free to let us know if you want support for any missing page content types. We can't promise that we will support everything but we will support what we can if there is enough demand.

Zane Mccaig: AMAZING. Thank you!
Satoshi Onoda
Zane Mccaig: It would be great if we can manually change property value after completion like the ClickUp integration.
Zane Mccaig
Satoshi Onoda: Thanks for letting us know Satoshi. We were hoping that the per-database level automations would be enough to not require a manual property change window. What kind of property changes do you want to make when you complete tasks?
Satoshi Onoda
Zane Mccaig:
In our workflow, we cannot fix the automated properties. For example, when I finished a Sunsama task, related notion properties may change "status => Done or In review" and "Progress => 80%,100%". So it would be great to have a completion window like the ClickUP's integration but having notion's properties.
Attachment is the patched UI I made with Photoshop.
I hope this helps explaining the idea.
Zane Mccaig
Satoshi Onoda: Thanks for the extra details! That does help me to understand your needs a bit better. I am not sure when we will add this in but it is on our backlog now.
Satoshi Onoda
Zane Mccaig: Thanks. I'm looking forward to this feature is implemented someday in the future.
Mariya Delano
Would love to get an update on when we will get the ability to mark tasks as done in Notion automatically if they are marked as done in Sunsama (and also to automatically sync due date changes).
In the meantime, is there any way to automate this through Zapier or some other tool? I really want to keep using Sunsama but the inability to automatically sync my progress with Notion is kind of killing my workflow.
Zane Mccaig
Mariya Delano: In case you missed my announcement yesterday you can now auto complete tasks in Notion. Data syncing is something we will have to add in a future release.
Tess Widdifield
I would love it if the content of the notion page itself was also brought into Sunsama. I often have subtasks in notion using their check boxes or info that would be useful to reference while in Sunsama focus mode. Would be great to see that content pull through the way an Asana description does!
Zane Mccaig
Tess Widdifield: In case you missed the announcement we have added in support for most page content. It is not interactive at the moment but we will add in support for toggling checkboxes at some point.
Rich Hamman
Hi team Sunsama. Im unable to filter Notion tasks by "today". Is there something i'm missing here?
More context on how i use Notion: I have dozens of projects with hundreds of tasks spread out months in advance. All these projects use a master task database (what i've linked with Sunsama). If i can filter by (date is: today) & (date is: within the next week) it allows me to focus on tasks one week at a time.
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
Rich Hamman: We do have a "within next week" option for Date based fields, are you having issues with it?
We can also consider adding a "today" option
Rich Hamman
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: Yeah, "within next week" is there and works a charm, but it doesnt include todays date unfortunately. For some reason Notion includes todays date in "within the past week". Hence the need for the double filter.
Not a deal breaker, but would be nice to have.
Felicita Recordati
I have most of my work on Notion, so super happy to have this integration, thanks! For now, I mostly use it to grab tasks from my to-do list. Tasks are grouped by projects, and by priority (1-5 scale) and are checked once they are completed.
In Sunsama I'd like to do the same: group by project, and filter to only show tasks that are unchecked, and have a priority of 4 or 5. The group function works well, and the filter by priority as well, but not the checked/unchecked filter. So it shows tasks that I've already completed.
Also, if there is a link to a page in the title of the task (eg. "Write <link to page>"), it doesn't show the link.
Looking forward to seeing how this integration will evolve! 🎉
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
Felicita Recordati: Thanks, Zane Mccaig will be fixing that bug with the checkbox filter not workings soon. Hold tight and thanks for letting us know!
