Notion closed out 2025 with a productivity-packed release that helps teams collaborate faster and automate more of their workflow. Highlights include AI answers from GitHub, webhook actions for thousands of integrations, button-based notifications, and simpler scheduling in Notion Calendar — plus iOS Shortcuts, a HIPAA AI upgrade and a Monday.com importer (beta).

Key benefits

• Quicker answers for technical teams: Notion AI can now search GitHub to surface issues, PRs and markdown alongside your workspace content (beta).

• Automation at scale: Webhook actions connect Notion to tools such as Zapier and Make, unlocking 1,000+ workflows from a database rule or a page button.

• Smoother collaboration: Send in-app notifications or Gmail emails from a Notion button to keep stakeholders in the loop without switching apps.

• Faster scheduling: Share availability via Notion Calendar to allow multi-person booking, avoid conflicts and handle reschedules easily.

What’s new & how it works

• AI answers from GitHub (beta): Ask Notion AI a question; it now includes GitHub among its sources (alongside Slack and Google Drive) to retrieve relevant code, PRs and docs. Ideal for engineering, product and support teams.

• Webhook actions for automations: Use webhooks to trigger events in external apps. Example: on “Contract approved” in a database, fire a webhook to post to X/Twitter or update a contact in HubSpot via Zapier/Make.

• Button-based notifications: Add a Button property to a database or page. Configure actions to send a Notion notification or a customised Gmail email (e.g., alert a manager when a bug is closed).

• Easier scheduling in Notion Calendar: Generate a scheduling link that supports multiple invitees, conflict checks and rescheduling — no separate scheduling tool required.

• iOS Shortcuts: Create quick actions like “New page,” “Search,” “Append text,” or “Open a specific document” from Apple Shortcuts.

• HIPAA AI upgrade: Notion AI is HIPAA-compliant, and HIPAA customers can now analyse PDFs with Notion AI. (Confirm eligibility with your plan/admin.)

• Monday.com importer (beta): Import selected boards or whole workspaces from Monday.com directly into Notion to consolidate tooling.

Practical steps & examples

1. Turn on AI answers from GitHub (beta):
   Connect GitHub as a source in Notion AI so questions can pull from repositories, PRs and markdown. Start with a pilot repo to validate relevance.
   
   

2. Build a webhook automation:
   Create a database rule or add a Button → choose Webhook. In Zapier/Make, configure the incoming webhook to create/update records in apps like HubSpot, Jira or X/Twitter.
   
   

3. Notify stakeholders from a Button:
   Add a “Notify Assignee” button that sends a Notion notification or Gmail when a ticket status changes to Ready for Review.
   
   

4. Share availability with Notion Calendar:
   Use Share availability to create a link that supports multi-attendee booking and conflict avoidance; include it in email threads.
   
   

5. Speed capture on iPhone:
   In the Shortcuts app, add “Create page in Notion” or “Append text to page” for on-the-go notes.
