The problem it solves

You assign a task in Notion and then have to remember to tell the person separately, or hope they check the board on their own. Important assignments sit unseen until someone happens to open Notion.

Who it fits

A team that manages work in Notion but wants instant real-time alerts.

How it works

  1. A new task is added to your Notion database
  2. The system checks who the task is assigned to
  3. It matches that person's name to their phone number
  4. A WhatsApp message is sent to them right away with the task details
What you get

Task assignments known the moment they happen

The moment someone is assigned a new task in Notion, they get a WhatsApp message with the details, so nothing waits for them to check.

What you get

An instant WhatsApp notification to the assigned team member.

What you need

A Notion account and a WhatsApp Business account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
