How do you use and create Notion Buttons?

Tutorial with 4 practical examples from my templates

Notion is the best app for organizing your life. Personally, I use Notion for writing texts, planning my tasks and projects, as well as storing notes.

The unique selling point of Notion is its innovative combination of blocks and databases. However, one small hurdle so far has been the somewhat cumbersome process of making changes in the databases.

Especially with recurring tasks like checking off to-dos or adding pages to databases, there was a lot of clicking required. That was also one of the reasons why I kept looking for alternatives to Notion.

Fortunately, this problem has disappeared with one of the recent Notion updates — the introduction of Notion Buttons in March 2023.

In this post, I want to show you what this update means, how to create Notion Buttons and the use cases where you can employ these buttons.

What are Notion Buttons?

As hinted earlier, with Notion Buttons, you can efficiently perform frequently used actions or insert content, and they can be inserted on any Notion page.

They can be used to:

• Insert blocks on a page.
• Add pages to a database.
