Save an Email with the Add-on

Open an Email

Go to your Gmail inbox and open the email you want to save to Notion.

Open the Quicktion Panel

Click the Quicktion icon in the right sidebar of Gmail. The add-on panel will open and load the details of the email you have open.

Select a Notion Database

The panel shows your available destinations. Each destination is linked to a specific Notion database. Choose the one where you want to save this email.

If you have only one destination, it will be selected automatically.

Fill in Properties

Quicktion pre-fills properties from the email:

• Title -- set to the email subject line.
• From -- the sender's name and email address.
• Date -- when the email was received.

You can edit any of these values before saving. You can also fill in additional properties that your Notion database supports, such as tags, status, priority, or notes.

Save the Email

Click Save to Notion. Quicktion sends the email to your chosen Notion database and creates a new page.

You will see a confirmation message in the panel when the save is complete.

What Gets Saved

When you save an email, Quicktion creates a page in your Notion database with:

• Page title -- the email subject (or whatever you entered in the title field).
• Properties -- all the fields you filled in or left as pre-filled values.
• Page content -- the full email body, converted to Notion blocks. Formatting is preserved: headings, lists, links, bold, italic, and inline images all carry over.

The email body becomes the content of the Notion page, not a property. This means you can read the full email directly inside Notion just like any other page.
