How this automation works

Automatically create a new Notion page whenever one of your iOS Shortcut automations begins. This Applet runs each time a Shortcut automation is triggered on your iPhone or iPad, capturing the event automatically in Notion. Ideal for logging, journaling, or tracking automations in a central Notion workspace.
