Examples: Automating Notion Insights & Research with Tonkean

Modern enterprise teams rely on Notion as a central hub for documentation, project management, and collaboration. However, as Notion workspaces grow, so does the complexity of finding, aggregating, and reporting on key information scattered across blocks, databases, pages, and users. The Search Notion Agent template from Tonkean is designed to solve these challenges by orchestrating automated research and insights across all Notion entities—empowering operations professionals in procurement, legal, and IT to work smarter, not harder.

Challenge: Manual Notion Research is Time-Consuming & Error-Prone

Imagine a legal operations team needing to compile a weekly report on contract status. Contracts are tracked in multiple Notion databases and referenced in various project pages. Manually searching, copying, and aggregating this data is inefficient and risks missing critical updates. With the Search Notion Agent, Tonkean automates this process—searching across all relevant Notion entities, extracting up-to-date contract data, and delivering a consolidated report to stakeholders.

Example: Automated Project Insights for Procurement Teams

Procurement teams often manage vendor onboarding, purchase requests, and compliance documentation in Notion. By leveraging the Search Notion Agent, Tonkean can:

• Automatically search all Notion databases for new vendor entries.
• Aggregate key data points (e.g., onboarding status, compliance checks) from blocks and pages.
• Push summarized insights into a shared Slack channel or email digest using Slack Intake or Email Intake.
• Trigger follow-up workflows—such as approval cycles or reminders—using Tonkean's automation platform.

This not only saves hours of manual work but also ensures no vendor is overlooked, and compliance is always up-to-date.

Example: Cross-Database Research for IT Operations

IT teams use Notion to track assets, incidents, and user requests. The Search Notion Agent enables:

• Automated aggregation of open incidents from multiple Notion databases.
• Real-time insights on asset utilization by searching across all pages and blocks.
• Integration with ticketing systems like Jira or Zendesk for seamless workflow orchestration.

Tonkean's data source integrations ensure that Notion data is always connected to the broader IT ecosystem, driving faster response times and more accurate reporting.

Example: Legal Research & Knowledge Management

Legal teams often need to search Notion for precedent documents, user activity, or matter status. The Search Notion Agent can:

• Scan all Notion pages and databases for relevant case law or contract templates.
• Provide insights on document usage and user engagement.
• Route findings to the appropriate legal team members using people coordination features.

This level of automation not only boosts productivity but also enhances compliance and knowledge sharing across the organization.
