Notion has revolutionized how we organize work and personal life. By integrating forms, form automations and more directly into Notion, Hipporello’s Service Desk allows for even greater flexibility and efficiency in the way you collect and manage data. In this blog, we'll explore what Notion forms are, how to create them, their advantages, who can use them, and their cost.
What is a Notion Form?
A Notion form, provided by Hipporello's Service Desk, is a tool that lets you collect information directly into your Notion workspace from clients, team members, users and more without adding them to your Notion workspace.
These forms can be published on a branded user portal that allows for detailed configurations for access. Or they can be seamlessly embedded within your website and either way, submitting these forms will create Notion items that include all form details. Whether it's feedback forms, registration details, or customer inquiries, Notion forms make it easy to gather and organize this data efficiently. Additionally, the process can be improved with automated messages, built-in email systems, and more.

What are the Advantages of Using Notion Forms?
Notion forms streamline data collection directly into your Notion pages, making it easier to manage projects, track submissions, and integrate data without the need for third-party apps. This also allows you to collect data from your clients into Notion without adding them into your workspace.
