CSS selectors allow you to precisely identify and extract specific content from web pages and save it to your Notion database. This feature is particularly useful when you want to capture certain parts of a webpage, such as titles, author names, or specific paragraphs (e.g. capturing a LinkedIn profile).

New
A new tab "Site Settings" has been added to the database form settings. This allows users to define specific websites or lists of websites where a particular form will be automatically selected by default.
Capabilities with Examples
Define a site or list of sites for default form selection.
Specify exact webpages:
Example:
chatgpt.com/c/chat123to select the form for that specific chat page.
Use wildcards (
*) to generalize the selection across multiple pages:Example:
www.amazon.com/*to select the form for all pages under the Amazon domain.
Use commas to specify multiple sites:
Example:
gmail.com/*,outlook*to select the form for both Gmail and Outlook.
Use Cases
Example 1: Saving products from Amazon
Scenario: Save products found on Amazon to a Notion database.
How It Works: When you are on Amazon and open the Copy To Notion extension, the form for saving products will be automatically selected.
Example 2: Multiple forms under the same domain
Scenario: Save LinkedIn profiles and job offers to different Notion databases.
How It Works:
Profiles form: When you visit
www.linkedin.com/in/*, the form for saving LinkedIn profiles will be automatically selected.Job Offers form: When you visit
www.linkedin.com/jobs/*, the form for saving job offers will be automatically selected.
Example 3: Saving emails from different sites
Scenario: Save emails from Gmail and Outlook to the same Notion database.
How It Works: When you visit

New
Added a small arrow next to text and URL fields.
When clicked, it allows you to select any element on the current webpage and the extension automatically fills the related field with the element's content.
Now it supports two field types:
If the field is a text field (such as page title, page content, or any text property), it will retrieve the content of the selected HTML element.
If the field is a URL field, it will retrieve the URL if the selected element is a URL; otherwise, it will retrieve the content.
