How it works

Up and running in under a minute

No APIs, no code and no automations to build.

  1. Install the extension

    One click in the Chrome Web Store. No signup first.

  2. Connect Notion and share your database

    Authorize access and tick the database you want to save to. This is the step people forget most: if you don't share it, MailNotes has nowhere to save.

    Getting “No accessible database found”?
  3. Open an email and save it

    Quick Save saves it instantly. Or generate a preview, edit it and save it yourself.

Features

More than a summary

MailNotes turns an email into a structured note, with your database fields already filled in.

New

Quick Save

One click and the email is saved to Notion, with its summary, tasks and key data. No extra screens. And when you want full control, the editable preview is still there.

Edit before you save

MailNotes prepares a draft and never saves blindly. Fix the summary and any property the AI detected before it reaches Notion.

SenderDatesTagsStatusMulti-select

Reads PDF attachments

Got an invoice or a report? The AI reads the PDF and pulls out the key data: amount, date, line items. It goes straight into your database columns.

Actionable tasks

Turn a five-paragraph email into a checklist. It spots deadlines and adds them to your reminder.

Adapts to your database

MailNotes reads your database columns and fills them in: sender, date, tags, custom fields. No setup.

Pro plan

Saved prompts

Save up to 10 instructions and apply them to any email in one click. Define once how you want the AI to handle each type of email.

Examples

  • “Extract the amount and due date”
  • “Add a task to call the client”

Use cases

Three ways to use it

Here's how an email ends up in Notion, depending on what you do with it.

Freelance and invoices

Before

You open the PDF, copy the amount and date, and paste them into your invoice sheet.

With MailNotes

MailNotes reads the invoice and fills your database columns with whatever you ask for.

Example Notion note

Vendor
Estudio Norte S.L.
Amount
€1,250.00
Due
Oct 15, 2026
Status
Payment pending

Agencies and consultants

Before

Client conversations get lost among hundreds of emails.

With MailNotes

Every important thread becomes a note with a summary, tasks and a link back to the email. A lightweight CRM inside Notion.

Example Notion note

Client
Estudio Aurora
Summary
Approves the quote with two changes
Next step
Send the revised quote
Thread
Open in Gmail

Students and researchers

Before

Deadlines and resources people send you get buried in your inbox.

With MailNotes

The professor's email or the PDF paper lands in your second brain, with the deadline as a reminder.

Example Notion note

Reminder
Nov 6, 2026
Task
Hand in the final paper
Source
Email + PDF attachment
Status

Comparison

Ways to get Gmail into Notion

We compare by type of tool, not by brand.

Coming from Notion Mail?

Notion Mail shut down on September 22, 2026. Your emails are still in Gmail, and with MailNotes you can keep sending the ones that matter to Notion, one by one, without changing email client.

Specific features vary between tools. “Needs extra steps” means you have to build the automation yourself. MailNotes saves the emails you choose, one by one: it doesn't sync your inbox. That's deliberate: only what really matters goes into Notion.

Security and privacy

What MailNotes does with your emails

We work with Gmail data, so we'll spell it out plainly.

CASA Tier 2 audit

Lab-assessed by TAC Security (Lab Tested and Lab Verified), within the App Defense Alliance.

What that means

More detail in the privacy policy.

Only what you save

MailNotes only processes the email you open and decide to save. It doesn't read your inbox in the background.

How it's processed

The email text travels encrypted to our server and to OpenAI, which generates the summary. Then it's written straight to your Notion. We don't store your emails.

Your access, encrypted

Your Google and Notion access tokens are stored encrypted in our database.

You're in control

Revoke access whenever you want from your Google account or from Notion, or just uninstall the extension.

Reviews

What users say

Reviews published on the Chrome Web Store.

“I use MailNotes to save emails directly into my Notion databases without leaving Gmail. The AI reads PDF attachments and fills properties automatically. You can review everything in the preview before saving, and create custom AI fields that stay saved forever. For anyone using Notion as their central organization system, it's a brutal time saver.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to your questions about security and how it works.

Can't find what you're looking for? Write to mailnotes@mailnotes.es.

Is it safe? Is it Google verified?

Yes. MailNotes has passed the App Defense Alliance CASA Assessment Tier 2 (Lab Tested & Lab Verified), the independent security audit Google requires for extensions that access Gmail data. Every OWASP category evaluated (authentication, data protection, cryptography, communications and more) received a Pass. The email text is sent encrypted to our server and to OpenAI to generate the summary, and from there to your Notion. We don't store your emails.

What is Quick Save?

It's the button that saves the email to Notion in a single step, with summary, tasks and key data, without going through the preview. If you've written instructions in “Additional context”, it takes them into account too. It uses one credit, just like a preview. If you want to choose what to extract or review the result before saving, use “Generate preview”.

Does it work with PDF attachments?

Yes. MailNotes includes intelligent PDF reading. You can attach invoices, reports or contracts and the AI will extract the relevant content to save into your Notion database properties.

Can I edit the summary and properties before saving?

Yes. In the preview screen you can edit the full summary and review and correct every Notion field the AI detected: sender, dates, tags, status, multi-select. If something's off, fix it before saving.

What are saved prompts?

Custom instructions you define once and apply to any email in one click. For example: “Extract the amount and due date” or “Add a task to call the client”. They're available on the Pro plan, with up to 10 saved prompts.

Does it work with any Notion database?

Yes. MailNotes reads the structure of any Notion database you give it access to and fills in the fields automatically. It works with the column setup you already have, no need to create a new database.

What languages does it support?

MailNotes automatically detects the language of the email and writes the summary in that same language. It works in English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Portuguese and many more.

What's a credit, and what happens when I run out?

A credit is one AI analysis of an email: each preview or Quick Save uses one. Saving the note after you review it doesn't use another, but regenerating the summary does. Free plan credits renew every month. If you run out before then, you can wait for the next cycle or move to Pro, which has no limit.

Does it automatically save everything I receive?

No, and that's on purpose. MailNotes saves the emails you choose, one by one, so that only what really matters ends up in Notion. It doesn't sync your inbox or read your emails in the background. If you need an automatic archive of everything that arrives, there are forwarding tools built for that.

Which email and browser does it work with?

Only Gmail in Google Chrome. It always saves to Notion.

Do I need to know how to code to set it up?

No. The full setup takes less than a minute: install the extension, connect your Google account and authorize your Notion. No APIs, no code, no complex configuration.

Does it work with Google Workspace (business email)?

Yes, MailNotes is compatible with Google Workspace accounts. If your company uses Gmail as its email client, you can use MailNotes as normal. Note that some organizations restrict installing Chrome extensions.

How do I cancel?

You can revoke access at any time from your Google settings or simply uninstall the extension. No lock-in and no fine print.

What is the CASA Tier 2 certification and why does it matter?

CASA (Cloud Application Security Assessment) is an independent security audit backed by the App Defense Alliance, Google's security alliance. Tier 2 is the most demanding level for Chrome extensions and requires a lab assessment by an accredited third party. For MailNotes, that was TAC Security. It means an outside auditor has verified that the extension meets OWASP security standards for handling your Gmail data.

I'm getting the error “No accessible database found”. What do I do?

This error appears when MailNotes doesn't have access to any Notion database. When you connect Notion, there's a step where you have to explicitly pick which pages or databases to share with the integration. If you skipped it, or picked a page that isn't a database, MailNotes can't find anywhere to save. To fix it, open Notion, go to Settings → Connections → MailNotes → Manage access and add the database you want to use. You can also disconnect and reconnect Notion from the extension to go through authorization again.
