How this automation works

Automatically create Notion to-do items from any email you send to IFTTT. This Applet runs whenever you send an email to trigger@applet.ifttt.com, capturing its subject and body to create a new to-do in your chosen Notion list. Perfect for turning incoming ideas or reminders into actionable Notion tasks without leaving your inbox. Customize the message to fit your tone.
