I use automation tools to streamline my personal and work tasks, specifically recurring tasks like weekly team calls, by connecting my Notion account to Zapier, a no-code automation tool that lets me create customized workflows without needing extensive coding knowledge. I can easily set up automated workflows in minutes, including creating new entries in specific databases on a schedule, customizing fields with pre-set properties and content, and testing the workflow before using it. By leveraging this integration, I'm able to automate many tasks, free up more time for other important activities, and improve my productivity and organization.
