2 min read

Today we will show you how you can automate 🔄 the change of particular tags with change in another property in a Notion Database 📃! Just follow these easy steps and you are good to go 🚀!

Take this example to make it easy to understand! Say we have a database with tasks 🤹🏻‍♀️ and the tasks have two properties! One is Status and the other one is Priority!

Step 1

Open your database and create a new property. Select Formula in Advanced Properties! ✅

  • ‘Status’ is the name of the property that represents the status of the tasks.
  • ‘Done’ is the value of ‘Status’ that represents a completed task.
  • ‘Priority’ is the name of the property that represents Priority of the tasks.            

Step 3

At last, hide the ‘Priority’ Property from view and test the Formula by changing the status of any task to ‘Completed/Done’ ✅
