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

4. Event Notifications with Meeting Notes

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

5. Add Figma Files to Cron Calendar

Doesn't stop at Notion - the new Cron event attachments are from day one.
