Now, when searching for pages, you’ll see the full or parent page path, making it easy to identify pages with similar titles and pick the right one.

Example: When I search for “test”, I get:

  • Test Article Page (Getting Started)

  • Test Article Page (Ideas / Copy To Notion / CTN testing database)

This helps distinguish between similar page and database names and ensures you choose the correct one.

Excited to announce a major enhancement to the Multi Select feature in Copy To Notion! Previously, you could only select and save text elements like paragraphs and titles. Now, we've taken it a step further:

  • Keep Formatting: All selected content retains its original formatting, making it easier for you to organize and keep information visually consistent in your Notion workspace.

Start exploring the web with this expanded flexibility – save more than just text, and keep everything looking just as you want it in Notion!

Available in v0.18.0 or higher.

New

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).

June 1st, 2024

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/chat123 to 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 gmail.com/* or outlook*, the form for saving emails will be automatically selected for all pages under both domains.

Summary

This feature helps prevent mistakes and saves time by automatically selecting the correct database form based on the site you are visiting.

May 4th, 2024

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.
