Hey there, rockstar entrepreneurs! 🎸 Ready to work less, stress less, and actually enjoy running your business? Well, buckle up because I’ve got three 3rd Party Apps for entrepreneurs that Connect with Notion that are about to change the game. These beauties will take your workflow from chaos to calm, and yes—you will wonder how you ever survived without them. 😏 Let’s dig into NotionSocial, Notion2Inbox, and the:gist, and see how these apps will help you get your time back and take your business to the next level.
Tools:
Inbox2Notion (I accidentally called this Notion2Inbox in the podcast - oops!)
1. NotionSocial: Your Social Media Sidekick
Social media’s a beast, right? If you’ve ever stared at a blank screen thinking, “What in the world am I going to post today?” you’re not alone. But NotionSocial? Total game-changer. This app turns your Notion dashboard into the ultimate social media command center. We’re talking content calendars, drafting posts, scheduling, and even tracking performance—all without leaving Notion.
Why NotionSocial Rocks for Entrepreneurs:
Visual content calendar across all your platforms (no more “What am I posting where?!”)
Draft, edit, and collaborate on posts directly in Notion (goodbye, scattered Google Docs!)
Integrated analytics dashboard so you can track what’s working without leaving Notion
Set and forget it! Automated posting means your content goes live while you sip your morning coffee ☕️
Picture this: You batch all your posts for the week in one sitting, schedule them, and then go back to running your business (or catching up on Ted Lasso, no judgment). 🎯

2. Inbox2Notion: Because Email Chaos is Soooo Last Year

3. the:gist: For the things Zapier CAN’T Do…
When I discovered the:gist, it cracked my world right open! Because all of those things that I wanted Zapier to do, I could now do! Example: Client On-boarding! Client onboarding? It’s crucial but, let’s be real, it can be a lot. That’s why I’m obsessed with the:gist. This app is your new BFF when it comes to making client onboarding smooth, professional, and oh-so-easy. 💁♀️
Why the:gist will Transform Your Workflow:
Here’s the kicker: the:gist isn’t just for onboarding. This app simplifies your entire workflow by connecting our go-to productivity app Notion with Zapier in ways that we previously weren’t able to do allowing us to create workflows and automation just by clicking a button or checking a box—and isn’t that a win?!
With the:gist, you’ll not only have a polished onboarding process but a streamlined, distraction-free workflows. Imagine focusing on your big projects while the:gist handles the rest. 🎉

4. Bonus: Akiflow for Scheduling Automation
Okay, I have to mention this bonus tool I’ve been dabbling with: Akiflow. If you struggle with deciding what to do and when, Akiflow is about to become your new favorite app. There are a LOT of AI, Automation-driven schedulers out there: Motion, Sumsana, Reclaim AI, etc. I tried a lot of them recently and, well, ultimately Akiflow was the only one that seamlessly communicated with Notion—and that’s a huge win for me!
Why would you use it? Because it automates your task scheduling, telling you what to work on when so you don’t have to decide when to tackle each item manually.
Here’s What Akiflow Does for Entrepreneurs:
Automatically schedules tasks based on your preferences and calendar availability
Syncs up with your calendar and task management tools to create a seamless workflow
Gives you a clear snapshot of your day and week
Makes rescheduling and reprioritizing easy (because we know plans change!)
No more dragging tasks around on your calendar! Akiflow does the heavy lifting, so you can focus on actually doing the work, not figuring out when to do it. 💪 Curious how I fit tools like Akiflow into my own system? You’ll find all my secrets inside Sustainable Systems School at coachellyn.com/systems…. I’ll be adding this one to the course once I’m done getting used to it!
