Notion has changed the way we organize work and personal life. By integrating forms and form automations directly into Notion, Hipporello’s Service Desk allows for even greater flexibility and efficiency as it makes it easier to collect and manage data. In this blog, we'll explore how Hipporello's Service Desk makes that possible.

What is a Notion Form?

Forms for Notion, 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 the need to add 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 onto your website and either way, submitting these forms will create Notion items that include all form details.

This means you can collect feedback forms, registration details, or customer inquiries in a systematic manner. The setup is easy and the tool is powerful. Automations can be added to get rid of manual tasks. It is possible, for example, to automation confirmation messages when people submit forms. Moreover, you can also respond to the form submitter from inside the created Notion item with the help of the built-in emailing system.

Creating a Notion form with Hipporello’s Service Desk is straightforward:

  1. Install Hipporello's Service Desk: First, add Hipporello to your Notion database from the Notion integrations marketplace.
