Notion has made some exciting announcements this week too. SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) API enables organizations to create, manage and remove members and groups in Notion through an identity provider (like Okta or Rippling) or your own app. This is aligned towards enterprise customers who are now emerging as the most important customer segment for Notion. There are several other enhancements including introduction of widgets for IOS .

It is now possible to duplicate database pages on the mobile app and I think this is extremely useful given the fact that Notion is well designed to work on mobile phones and many people already run complex workflows using mobile phones . We include a video published on Nov 21, 2020 where TechZG Guides shows how to build a personal wiki using the IOS or Android app.

With just 40 days remaining for another new year , it is time to review and plan for the next year. COVID-19 has had a significant impact across the world . Can’t recall another similar event like COVID 19 in the recent past where the entire world was brought to a halt by an unseen organism. Many of us have lost loved ones to the pandemic and many are still battling the post COVID recovery. Pray that we get the vaccine soon and people are free from the fear of the pandemic. I also hope that the Notion API would come out towards the end of 2020 or the beginning of 2021 such that I can move notionvideos.com to notion.so.

Have a great week ahead. Take care and be safe . See you next week. Hari
