The story

The pain

We keep hitting the same wall: our Notion setups work great for a week or two, then break down the moment we miss a day of maintenance. Automations are siloed and don't cascade, and we end up spending more time fixing the database than doing actual work. The core tools feel neglected while the company invests elsewhere, leaving us with systems that are too fragile for real operational use.

I set up something solid for tracking recurring tasks, meeting notes, followups, the kind of stuff that never stops when you're running an office. Works great for two weeks. Then I miss a couple days, the system breaks down, and I'm spending more time fixing the database than doing the actual work.

notion's automations are weirdly siloed like that, a bot-triggered edit won't cascade into another bot's trigger, which makes zero sense until you realize they're trying to prevent infinite loops.
