In this tutorial, you learn how to quickly add any kind of data to Notion - without having to manually copypaste or type it.
There is so much information that we could track and organise in Notion, but adding it can be a pain. If you're lucky, your information is in another tool with a great API so you can simply connect Notion to it.
But what about those situations where that isn't the case? Physical documents like letters or receipts? A PDF? Or even a screenshot from your phone?
Luckily, there's a simple workaround thanks to AI. AI excels when it comes to computer vision and it's super easy to leverage this to extract the relevant information.
All you need to do is use a tool like Relay.app that allows you to first extract information via AI and then sends that information to Notion.

I love all of the advanced features and ideas that you bring to the Notion community. Thank you for these very interesting videos. Please keep them coming!
Thank you so much! âșïž
Is there any specific use case that youâd love to see in the future? âșïž
Loving the use case! I'm discovering Relay with your video and I'm impressed by the simplicity. Thanks Matthias!
Glad you liked it! Yeah itâs super cool, still needs a few additional features but theyâre on a great track! đ
Got an idea for me what I should build next? đ
This is amazing. Iâve been searching for a way to quickly get written journal entries into notion without typing it out or clicking fields. Will test it out for my use case, thanks!
This will be even better with charts. Can't wait.
Ohhhh yess đđ
What would your first use case be?
@@mfreihaendig Personally show habits completion, with my student org probably task and project completion.
Brilliant thanks. I'd love to see how you wouuld process voice notes to Notion.
Iâll add that to the list đ how do you typically capture them?
@@mfreihaendig Well actually now I don't have a system, I didn't find a nive and simple way to capture voice notes and send the text to Notion. I have seen serveral cumbersome systems with AI and Make but never tried to replicate them yet. Thanks
@@mfreihaendig I actually don't caputre them in Notion yet.
I watched a couple of tutos showing how to use voice notes (I'm using Android and Linux) and IA to feed Notion, but they were very cumbersome. The idea is to be able to add a voice note or a task with the push of a single button, while driving, cycling or walking...
I'm still looking forward to a straitfowrard method to do this, I'd love to see how you resolve it.
Do you know if you're able to separate the outputs into fields like that in Make? Or would you have to use Relay?
For that specific UI you need replay - in make, youâd prompt it to respond in json and then parse the json before adding it to Notion đȘđ»
Thank you, very helpful video !
Glad to hear that! Anything else youâd like me to cover in the future? âșïž
Do you know if it is capable of extracting data from multiple attachments or is it only singular?
Multiple should be fine in theory, but as with all things AI, Iâd reduce the risk of things not being processed by splitting the task, iterating over each entry and then processing it đȘđ»
@@mfreihaendigTried with multiple attachments and works fine! At least for now đ , two attachments seem to work better using 4o model vs 3.5 so just gotta factor costs. Looks like Relay has a small cap with its internal feature.
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! đ
So you are emailing a screenshot from your Ultrahuman app to relay everyday? Surely there is a better way.
Not without an API - thatâs the only other way to get data out of tools easily
And this takes 4 clicks with a text expander, so not too much effort ;)
Thatâs a good way to help and I really appreciate your efforts to make things easier for everyoneâŠ
however, IMO, I donât think itâs very useful⊠even when you use AI to extract information or data from whatever youâre adding to Notion, you need to review it anyway (you canât rely on AI 100%⊠not yet anyway)⊠I think simple copy-paste or manually adding your information is much easier and faster than setting up a whole automation system on an AI tools thatâs still âpromisingâ, and you will review your data while you do it so you actually save time!!! đ€
Fair point! I think it depends on the type of data that you need - particularly the vision api for OpenAI is quite reliable and if your data input is somewhat consistent, I wouldnât feel the need to check that
Particular for a system where I mostly need it to be largely correct like the health data
For business data, Iâd still be fine with this - Iâd only upload the file also and add that link to Notion so that once a month I can flip through things to check
Still faster than typing it manually I bet đ
But totally see your point, still need human control to be sure
I love working with Relay and N8N
Oh nice! What are your favourite use cases so far? đ
