StashLane — Save Gmail Emails to Notion
The emails that matter, filed in Notion where your work is.
Open an email in Gmail™, pick a Notion database in the StashLane panel and press Save to Notion. The page gets the subject as its title, the sender, the date and a link back to Gmail in the fields you choose, and the email text underneath. With Pro, attachments and whole conversations go along. A free button saves the email as a PDF to Google Drive™.

- Reads only the email you open it on
- No BiLingoPlus server in between

How it works
From an email to a Notion page in three steps
Connect Notion once. After that, saving an email is a click in the panel next to it.
1Open an email, then StashLane
In Gmail, open the email and click StashLane in the side panel. The first time, connect Notion and pick the databases StashLane may use.

2Pick the database
Choose the Notion database, check the page title, and leave the email text on or off. Fields… sets what goes into each property.

3Save to Notion
The page is made at once, with Open in Notion to go to it. The next time you open that email, StashLane shows Already saved.
What lands in Notion
A database page, not a pasted wall of text
Each saved email becomes one page in the database you pick, in the shape that database already has.

- Your fields, filled inStashLane reads the database’s own properties and fills the ones you choose: text, email, URL, date, select, status, multi-select, number, checkbox, phone and files. People, relations and formulas are left as they are.
- Back to the email in one clickEvery page links back to the email in Gmail, and the email shows Already saved, with a link to its page, when you open StashLane on it again.
- Only what you sharedIn Notion’s own window you pick the pages and databases StashLane may use. It cannot see anything else in your workspace.
Features
Made for inboxes that feed a Notion workspace
Every property gets the right part of the email
The Fields… card lists the properties of the database. For each one, choose the subject, the sender’s name or address, To, Cc, the date received or saved, the Gmail link, the first lines, the attachment names, or leave it empty. StashLane makes a first guess from each property’s type and name.
Name · titleSubject
From · emailFrom — address
Received · dateDate received
Status · statusA fixed value… To do
Attachments and whole conversations (Pro)
Attachments are uploaded to Notion, up to 20 MB each, into a Files property or at the end of the page. A whole conversation goes onto one page, every email in order. Fixed values, such as Status = To do, fill the same choice on every page.
A PDF of the email, free
Save PDF puts a PDF of the email, with its sender, recipients, date and attachment names, into a StashLane folder in your Google Drive™. It is free and does not count toward your saves.

Privacy & permissions
Your email goes to your Notion, and nowhere else
| Reads | Only the email you have open, and only while StashLane is open on it: its subject, sender, recipients, date, text and attachment names, and the attachments themselves when you save them with Pro. With Pro’s whole conversation, the other emails of that thread. In Notion, the names and properties of the databases you shared with StashLane. |
|---|---|
| Sends | The page goes from Google straight to your own Notion workspace through Notion’s API, and a PDF goes to a StashLane folder in your own Google Drive™. Nothing is sent to BiLingoPlus. The add-on asks Paddle whether your email has an active Pro subscription. |
| Permissions | gmail.addons.execute · gmail.addons.current.message.readonly · drive.file · script.external_request · script.locale · userinfo.email |
No permission to read your mailbox: StashLane sees only the email you open it on. Its drive.file permission reaches only the PDFs StashLane makes. No ads, no selling of data and no AI reading your email.

Questions about saving emails to Notion
Can StashLane read all my email?
No. Its Gmail™ permission covers only the email you have open, while StashLane is open on it. It cannot list, search or read the rest of your mailbox, and it does nothing in the background.
What does the saved Notion page look like?
The title is the email’s subject, or the page title you type. The properties get what you chose under Fields…. The page holds a quote with From, To, Cc and the date, an Open in Gmail link, and the email text if the switch is on. With Pro, attachments follow as files.
Which Notion databases can it use?
Only the ones you select in Notion’s window when you connect. To add another one later, press Choose databases on the StashLane home card and select it in Notion. StashLane cannot see the rest of your workspace.
Does it save attachments?
With Pro, yes: each attachment up to 20 MB is uploaded to Notion, into a Files property if you mapped one, otherwise at the end of the page. On the free plan, the attachment names can go into a text property.
Will I save the same email twice by mistake?
StashLane remembers the emails you saved. When you open one of them again, the card shows Already saved, with a button to open its Notion page. You can still save it again, to another database for example.
Is StashLane free?
30 saves a month are free, and Save as PDF to Google Drive is free and not counted. Pro, for unlimited saves, attachments, whole conversations and fixed values, is $4.99 a month or $39 a year, bought from the StashLane panel.
Where are my Notion connection and settings kept?
In your own Google account, in the add-on’s private storage: the Notion sign-in, your field choices, the emails you saved with their page links, and the count of this month’s saves. Erase my data on the home card deletes all of it except that count. Nothing is kept on a BiLingoPlus server.
