How it works in Cron Calendar

Let's explore the feature and how you can get access to it in Cron.

1. Connect Cron with Notion

You can connect up Cron to Notion with the integration - this will allow you to connect to the correct Notion workspace, perfect for saving notes right into the correct database.

2. Request Access to Notion

All you need to do is read permissions and approve. Remember Notion own Cron, so this is like an inter-company integration to some extent but always read the permissions.

3. Create or Connect a New Notion Page

You can create and connect any existing Notion pages by searching them or connecting a new one - hooking up the database too in Notion for easy keepsakes.

4. Event Notifications with Meeting Notes

These will pop up and direct you on web into the Notion application, perfect.
