Notion, connected to the rest of your company.

Notion holds a piece of your business; the manual work lives in the gaps around it. We build the automations that close those gaps, against your existing account, with a person signing off on anything that matters.

What Notion is

Notion is a workspace for notes, documents and wikis in which a page can also hold a database: the same rows shown as a table, a board or a calendar. Startups, agencies and small teams keep their handbook, project lists, content calendars and light customer registers in it. Each database row is itself a page with typed properties.

What an automation reads and writes there

  • Pages and sub-pages
  • Database rows with their properties
  • Status, date, person and select properties
  • Relations between databases
  • Comments on a page

Work that gets built around Notion

  1. Contract register as a Notion database

    A new contract arrives by mail or upload. It is summarised, risky clauses are flagged, and a row is added to the contracts database with the parties, the renewal date and the notice window. A person reviews the summary, and alerts go out before each window closes. Catalogue price: $1,190 for setup and $79 per month for care.

  2. Content calendar filled from a case study

    A case study page is marked ready. Posts, a newsletter section and an article draft are written as new rows in the content calendar, each with a draft status and a proposed date. The editor changes the status to approved, and nothing is published without that change.

  3. Meeting notes page and CRM update

    A recorded call ends. A notes page is created under the client in Notion, the agreed actions are added as rows in the tasks database, and the CRM record is updated. The person who led the call confirms the draft first. Catalogue price: $490 for setup and $79 per month for care.

    Built as: Meeting to CRM

Before you automate against it

A Notion integration sees nothing until someone shares a page or database with it, and it then sees the pages beneath as well. Properties are matched by name and type, so renaming a status property or changing a select into text breaks the write. Share only the databases the work needs.

The controls

  1. How we connect Through Notion's own interfaces - API where it exists, structured exports and the mailbox where it does not. Nothing installed inside your Notion account behind your back.
  2. What usually gets built Data leaving Notion into invoices, CRM records and reports; data arriving into Notion from orders, forms and mail - the retyping in both directions is the work that disappears.
  3. The controls A written spec, a full run record, an approval queue for consequential steps, and a signed proof afterwards. The same four controls every OAKMONT automation runs with.

Common questions

  1. Can an automation write into a Notion database?Yes. Notion has a documented public API that creates rows, sets their properties and adds content to a page. The integration is created in your workspace by an owner and then connected to each database it should use. Without that explicit connection it cannot read or write anything, including pages other people consider shared.
  2. Is Notion a good place for data an automation depends on?It is a good place for a register that people read and edit, such as contracts or a content calendar. It is weaker for figures that must not change by accident, because anyone with edit rights can alter a row or a property. Keep invoices and customer master data in the system that owns them.
  3. Can OAKMONT automate Notion?Yes - Notion is on the creator's systems list, and automations are built against your existing account through its own interfaces. Describe the workflow and a person replies with a fixed quote.
  4. What does a Notion automation cost?Catalogue prices start at $490 for a single delivered workflow, with care from $79/month. The fixed price for your case is confirmed by a person in writing before any work starts.
  5. Is our Notion data safe?Every automation runs with a written spec and a full run record, consequential steps wait for human approval, and for work that must never leave your building there is the Private AI Box - the whole stack on your own hardware.
