To save WhatsApp messages to Notion, connect Notion to Mindie and text it your note with a hashtag. A message like "#reading Deep Work, chapter on shallow tasks" becomes a new page in your Notion database, with the hashtag as its category. You don't open Notion, pick a page or tap through menus: the note is filed the moment you send it.

Notion is a good place to keep ideas, but it's not quick on a phone. By the time the app loads and you find the right database, the thought is half gone. WhatsApp is already open most of the day. Mindie makes it the front door to your Notion workspace, so capture happens where you are and the organising happens in Notion later.

## How to connect Notion to WhatsApp

1. **Start a free trial** at [getmindie.app](/signup). You get 7 days with every feature, Notion included.
2. **Link your number.** The site gives you a six-digit code. In WhatsApp, send Mindie "verify" and that code.
3. **Connect Notion from the dashboard.** Go to the integrations page and sign in with Notion's own sign-in. When Notion asks which pages to share, share the database you want Mindie to write into.
4. **Send a tagged message.** Try "#work move the launch review to after the pricing call".
5. **Look in Notion.** A new page is there, titled, with your full text, the tag as its category and WhatsApp as the source.

## From a WhatsApp message to a Notion page

| You send | Mindie does |
|---|---|
| #ideas annual plan with a founders' discount | Creates a Notion page under Ideas |
| #reading Atomic Habits, the two-minute rule | Saves a page under Reading with the full text |
| #work client wants the report in a shorter format | Files a page under Work |
| save to Notion: questions to ask the accountant | Creates a page without needing a hashtag |
| show my latest Notion notes | Replies with your recent Notion pages |
| #recipes (with Notion not connected) | Keeps it as a Mindie note and mentions Notion can be connected |

The hashtag does two jobs: it tells Mindie the message is for Notion, and it becomes the category, so your database stays sorted by topic without any extra work.

## Ideas people send to Notion from WhatsApp

- **Content ideas** spotted while scrolling, tagged "#ideas" or "#posts".
- **Book and article notes** under "#reading", written right after you finish a chapter.
- **Work follow-ups** that belong in a team's planning database rather than a personal reminder.
- **Research snippets** for a project, collected over days and reviewed in Notion at your desk.
- **Journal lines** you'd rather keep alongside the rest of your Notion setup.

If you copy text from another chat and paste it into your message to Mindie with a tag, it's saved like anything else you type.

## Who uses it

Writers, founders, students and anyone who already runs their life in Notion but captures most thoughts on a phone. If you've been sending yourself messages in WhatsApp's "Message yourself" chat and meaning to move them into Notion someday, this does the moving for you as you go. People who don't use Notion at all can keep notes inside Mindie: see [WhatsApp notes](/features/whatsapp-notes).

## Notion pages, Mindie notes and lists

Not every message needs to be a Notion page. Without a hashtag or "save to Notion", a note like "remember that the spare key is with Ana" stays as a Mindie note, and you can ask for it later in your own words. Two or more items to buy or do become a [list](/features/whatsapp-lists). Once a week, the Sunday recap summarises what you saved and planned.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't read your WhatsApp chats or groups.** Only messages you send to Mindie are seen, so it can't export a conversation to Notion.
- **It doesn't save files.** Mindie reads text, voice notes and images, but not PDFs, documents or videos.
- **It's not a writing assistant.** It won't draft a page for you or summarise an article you haven't written notes on. It saves what you send.
- **It doesn't share with other people.** Mindie works in your own one-to-one chat and never messages anyone else.

Other tools like Todoist, Asana, ClickUp, Trello and Slack are coming soon, but today the connections are Notion, Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar.

## Privacy

Notion is connected through Notion's own sign-in, and Mindie can only use what you choose to share there. You can disconnect it from the dashboard at any time. Mindie never sees your other chats or contacts, and your messages are never sold or used to train AI models. Text "clear our chat" to delete your chat history. The [privacy policy](/privacy) has the details.

## How much it costs

Mindie is free for the first 7 days with every feature. After that it's $9 a month or $90 a year (two months free). There's a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment, and you can cancel by texting "cancel". See [pricing](/pricing).

## FAQ

### How do I send a message from WhatsApp to Notion?
Connect Notion to Mindie from the dashboard, then text Mindie a message with a hashtag, such as "#ideas a referral discount for annual plans". It becomes a page in your Notion database, filed under that tag.

### Which Notion database does Mindie save to?
The one you share with Mindie when you connect Notion through Notion's own sign-in. Mindie finds that database and adds pages to it.

### What does a saved page contain?
A title, the full text of your message, the hashtag as its category, and WhatsApp marked as the source.

### Do I have to use a hashtag?
No. You can also write "save to Notion" in the message. The hashtag is just the quickest way, and it sets the category at the same time.

### What happens if Notion isn't connected?
The message is saved as a Mindie note instead, so nothing is lost, and Mindie mentions that you can connect Notion.

### Can Mindie save my other WhatsApp chats to Notion?
No. Mindie only sees messages you send to it directly. It never reads your other chats or groups.

### Can I read my Notion notes back in WhatsApp?
Yes. Ask "show my latest Notion notes" and Mindie replies with your recent pages.
