💌 You've got mail...

This week's big announcement has been a long time coming. It was first announced in October at Make With Notion, has been slowly released to some users since then, and is now available to all those with a Gmail address.
​
To keep it brief because it's a fairly big piece of the productivity puzzle being released, and maybe like me, you've had a few too many chocolate eggs or hot cross buns this weekend, and you need an easy way to get back in the routine, this whole issue will focus on this.
