To archive newsletters to Notion, you can follow this streamlined process depending on your preferred tools and workflow:
🔧 Method 1: Use Notion Web Clipper (Manual but Simple)
-
Open the newsletter (in your email or web browser).
-
Use the Notion Web Clipper browser extension.
-
Click the extension and choose your Notion workspace and destination page/database.
-
Customize the title or tags, then save.
-
The newsletter content and link will now be in Notion.
Best For: Occasional archiving, minimal setup.
🤖 Method 2: Automate with Zapier (Recommended for Consistent Archiving)
-
Create a Notion database called “Newsletter Archive” with properties like:
-
Title
-
Date
-
Source
-
Content (rich text or URL)
-
-
Set up a Zap in Zapier:
-
Trigger: New email in Gmail (with a specific label like “Newsletter”)
-
Filter (Optional): Subject contains newsletter name or sender.
-
Action: Create a new item in Notion with email subject, body, and date.
-
Tip: Label your newsletter emails automatically using Gmail filters.
📨 Method 3: Email-to-Notion Tools (Easy Automation)
Use tools like Notion Mail, Save to Notion, or Mailist:
-
These tools provide a Notion-connected inbox.
-
You forward newsletters to your dedicated email address.
-
They parse and send content directly to a Notion database.
Pros: Minimal setup, great formatting.
Cons: Some require a subscription.
📥 Bonus: Create a Dedicated Newsletter Database in Notion
-
Set up columns like:
-
Name
(title) -
Date
-
Sender
-
Topic
(select/multi-select) -
Content Preview
(text or snippet) -
Link to Full Content
(URL)
-
This makes newsletters searchable and taggable by topic or sender.
🔁 Optional: Archive From RSS
If your newsletters are also available via RSS:
-
Use Notion Automations or Zapier + RSS to monitor feeds.
-
New items are auto-added to Notion with metadata.
Choose your method based on how often you receive newsletters and whether you prefer manual or automated archiving. Let me know if you want a custom Notion database template or Zapier setup guide.
