After taking on calendar apps earlier this year, Notion is ready to tackle emails with a fully customizable app launching next year. Much like Notion’s other tools, the company says Mail will “distill email down to 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, as well as help you quickly write personalized emails using “one-click snippets.” The Mail app bears some resemblance to Skiff, the secure email service Notion acquired in February.
Notion plans on launching its Mail app in “early 2025,” and it will integrate 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 from Notion’s website.
In addition to a new Mail app, Notion launched a new Forms tool that you can use to collect responses, much like Google Forms. Notion is also rolling out more ways to customize layouts and new automation that will let you notify people via Gmail. Notion launched an update to its marketplace as well, where people can sell and shop for Notion templates.
As my colleague David Pierce noted earlier this year, Notion wants to become the one and only productivity app that a company needs to accomplish all its tasks. Now that it’s going after emails, maybe a presentation app really is next.
