  Notion Gmail Sidebar connects your Notion CRM to Gmail. When you open an email, the sidebar automatically shows you the matching contact record from your Notion database — no tab-switching, no searching.
  
  WHAT IT DOES
  - Detects the sender's email in any Gmail thread
  - Looks up matching records in your Notion database
  - Displays contact details, status fields, and linked records in a clean sidebar
  - Works with any Notion database — CRM, client list, lead tracker, or custom setup
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  1. Create a Notion integration and share your database with it
  2. Enter your license key and Notion token in the extension
  3. Choose your contact database and the fields you want to see
  4. Open any email in Gmail — your contact info appears automatically
  
  FEATURES
  - Automatic sidebar — opens when you view an email, shows matching contact instantly
  - Manual mode — toggle auto-open off in settings and open the sidebar only when you need it
  - Related records — optionally connect a second database (trips, deals, projects) to see linked records alongside the contact
  - Custom accent color — match the sidebar to your brand
  - Notion-native colors — status and select fields display using your actual Notion color scheme
  - Fast setup — 5-step configuration, under 2 minutes
  
  BUILT FOR
  Solopreneurs, freelancers, and small teams who use Notion as their CRM and want client context without leaving Gmail. Travel agencies, consultants, agencies, coaches — anyone managing client relationships in Notion.
  
  PRIVACY

  Notion Gmail Sidebar puts your Notion CRM right inside Gmail. Open an email, see the contact — instantly, automatically, without leaving your inbox.
  
  No more switching tabs to look someone up. No more copying email addresses into Notion search. The context you need is right there, every time.
  
  WHAT IT DOES
  Every time you open an email in Gmail, the sidebar detects who you're talking to — sender, recipients, and CC — and pulls up their record from your Notion database. Contact details, status fields, deal stage, notes, linked records — whatever you've chosen to see, it's there in one glance.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  1. Create a Notion integration and share your database with it
  2. Enter your license key and Notion token in the extension
  3. Choose your contact database and the fields you want to see
  4. Open any email — that's it. Your contact info appears automatically.
  
  FEATURES
  - Instant context — open an email, see the contact. No searching, no tab-switching, no copying emails into Notion to look someone up
  - Works with your setup — any Notion database works. CRM, client list, lead tracker, custom build. If it has an email field, it works
  - Multiple databases — connect up to three contact databases, each with its own related database. Separate your leads, clients, and partners without merging them into one table
  - See what matters — choose exactly which fields show in the sidebar. Name, status, deal stage, last contact, notes — whatever you need at a glance
  - Stays out of the way — auto-opens when you want it, or toggle to manual mode and open it only when you need it
  - Your brand, your colors — custom accent color and Notion-native color coding for status and select fields
  - Private by design — your Notion API key never leaves your device
