After launching calendar apps earlier this year, Notion is ready to tackle email with a fully customizable app launching next year. Similar to Notion's other tools, Mail will, according to the company, “break down email into its building blocks,” allowing you to create an inbox with views, layouts, and actions tailored to your preferences.
You can also use Notion AI to automatically organize, archive, or draft emails based on a prompt. Its AI can schedule meetings for you through integration with Notion's calendar app and help you quickly write personalized emails using “one-click snippets.” The Mail app bears some similarity to Skiff, the secure email service Notion acquired in February.
Notion plans to launch its Mail app in “early 2025” and integrate it with Google and Gmail accounts at launch. It will also be available on iPhone and Android devices. The Notion Mail app is currently in preview, but you can join the waitlist to gain access via Notion's website.
In addition to a new mail app, Notion has introduced a new forms tool that lets you collect responses, similar to Google Forms. Notion also introduces more ways to customize layouts and new automation that lets you message people through Gmail. Notion also released an update to its marketplace where people can sell and buy Notion templates.
As my colleague David Pierce noted earlier this year, Notion aims to become the only productivity app a business needs to accomplish all its tasks. Now that it's about email, maybe a presentation app really is the next step.
