Automation Silos
Users find Notion's automations are siloed, preventing bot-triggered edits from cascading into other triggers, which complicates workflows.
βooh, i've banged my head against this exact wall before. 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. whatβ
Complexity in Managing Workflows
While users appreciate Notion's flexibility, they note the complexity of managing multiple workflows and the need for multiple apps to handle all tasks.
