Workflows

The introduction of Notion Forms now allows you to use Notion not only to organize and share information, but now you can collect it, too.

This new functionality built into Notion allows for external audiences to submit applications or other information you need. Because this is a brand new feature in Notion, it currently lacks some of the features that the other options for Notion integration found in Zapier, Make, and a few others. However, the ease of use and all-in-one capabilities will make this a preferred option for most use cases.

Just a few examples of user submissions include:

• Student applications to your Bonner Program
• Community partner service opportunities (school year and summer)
• Students submitting their summer service plans
• Student reflections and accomplishments
• Community partner accomplishments and feedback
• Bonner Scholar Rising Senior Fund proposals
• Bonner Scholar or Leader Summer Service funding proposals
• Registrations for major events hosted by your Center
• Faculty applications for course development grants and/or training opportunities

Online Data Collection Example

Here is an example of the data collection form in the Accomplishments & Reflections Notion database and on a public webpage:

Below is an example for the Rising Senior Fund Proposal form:

And, for tracking submissions, here is the Funding database view filtered for Rising Senior Fund:

Note these are grouped by Fiscal Year and sorted by Student Last Name. Also, you can use Sum or other summary options at the bottom of number property columns.
