Hey — it's Rames

Went surfing on Saturday, and it was packed. Small, infrequent waves, for dozens of people.

What was supposed to happen, happened — someone got injured. And that was me 🫠

Luckily, it was my little finger that was torn by the shortboard, not my head. Unluckily, it looks quite bad, so I can’t go in the water for a few days or (hopefully not) weeks.

Click here to see the finger.

And before we begin... This week's sponsor...

3 Tips

1/ Create & share custom Notion views

This might resonate differently for most people, but for me and everyone working with clients, this is EPIC news.

Julien Nahum, the maker behind Noteforms (previously Notionforms), has developed another amazing tool that will solve the problem all agency-type businesses had with Notion.

The problem: With Notion, you can't share a custom view of a master database with someone without giving them access to the entire database. Even if you apply filters or lock your database. This is inconvenient if you have a master Projects database with relations to each of your clients and you want to share only their projects with them.

The solution: Julien's tool solves this issue by replicating the filtered view in a nice-looking interface that you can share with your clients as an external link. They only have access to their data and not the entire database. And the best part? Clients can edit the information!

So if you're an agency owner, working with multiple clients, you can now share your MASTER projects/tasks databases with them. They will only see their own projects/tasks (without access to the entire database), and they can update the status or any other properties.

That's a game-changer!

2/ Export a filtered Notion view as .csv

If you need to export data out of Notion frequently, here's a helpful tip that should assist you.

If you want to export a filtered Notion view as a .csv file, you need to:

1. Filter your view

2. Click the orange "Save for everyone" button

3. Go to Export in the page settings

4. Select "Include databases" → "Current view"

3/ Notion Q&A launch update

Notion Q&A is slowly rolling out in every workspace, and what a launch! Over 200k workspaces have requested access as of November 16th.

People love it — everyone sees it as their own personal assistant, that you don't even need to train because all the data already exists in YOUR workspace.

2 Resources

1/ How to take notes with Notion

Notion is, by default, a note-taking app. But there are many types of notes, and many ways you can use Notion to take notes. So, I wrote a short 101 on Notion that covers:

• Quick notes

• Meeting notes

• Book notes (book tracker)

• Journaling

If you're struggling with a note-taking system that works for you, or if you're simply curious, check it out 📚️ 

2/ Notiondesk — Notion Help Center

Notiondesk transforms your Notion pages into a beautiful help center. You can get started by duplicating their template, then, all you have to do is centralize all your information about your product/service into a database.

Notiondesk is fully customizable, and you can also connect it to your custom domain.

Pricing starts at $19/mo, which gives you access to everything you need to get started.
