Clipmail / Notion Mail alternative
Getting Gmail into Notion now that Notion Mail is gone
To keep saving Gmail emails into Notion databases now that Notion Mail has closed, use a Gmail add-on such as Clipmail, Quicktion or Gmail to Notion, or copy, print or clip emails by hand. Keep reading and writing email in Gmail itself.
Notion Mail closed on 22 September 2026, on web, desktop and mobile. Your email is still in Gmail. What stopped is the Notion side: if you used Notion Mail to put emails into Notion databases, new email no longer gets there that way.
What Clipmail replaces, and what it doesn’t
Clipmail is a Gmail add-on, not an email client. You keep reading and writing email in Gmail. It replaces one thing: saving an email into a Notion database. Open the email, pick a database in Gmail’s side panel and press Save. The page gets the email’s formatting, images and attachments, and columns named From, To, Date or Link are filled in.
It does not replace:
- An inbox, drafts, scheduled sending, snippets or auto-labels. Use Gmail for those, or Nolario if you want one AI-sorted inbox across Gmail, Outlook and Slack.
- Saving email automatically. Clipmail saves the email you have open when you press Save. If you want every matching email to land in Notion on its own, you need an add-on with a forwarding address and a Gmail filter; Quicktion and Gmail to Notion both do that, and we compare them with Clipmail honestly on those pages.
Set up a Notion database for saved emails
If your Notion Mail setup sent emails into a database, rebuild that database once and Clipmail will fill it the same way:
- Create a database in Notion, or reuse the one Notion Mail used. The title column gets the subject.
- Add a From column (email or text) for the sender and a To column (text or email) for the recipients.
- Add a Date column (date) and a Link column (URL). The link opens the email’s thread in Gmail, so you can reply from there.
- Add any columns of your own, such as Status, Client or Project. Clipmail leaves those alone, so you can sort and filter saved emails the way you did before.
Then open Clipmail in Gmail’s side panel, connect Notion, choose the databases it may add pages to, and save the emails you want to keep.
Which emails are worth saving to Notion
Most email doesn’t belong in Notion. The ones people keep there tend to be:
- Client briefs and feedback, saved next to the project they belong to.
- Invoices and receipts, in a database you can total up at tax time.
- Newsletters worth rereading, tagged by topic.
- Job, sales or support threads you track as a pipeline.
Pricing
30 saves a month are free, with nothing added to your pages. Pro is $5 a month or $39 a year for unlimited saves.
Other ways
Copy and paste, print to PDF and the Notion Web Clipper all still work for the odd email. The step-by-step guide covers what each keeps and loses.
