Question

My colleagues are going to be sending out emails/documents to people that include links to specific notion pages. Is there a way I can grant those guests access now, without notifying them? The email is meant to be an intro/first contact so I don't want them getting notifications from notion prior, and it might be hard logistically for me to grant access simultaneously or immediately after those emails are sent.

Answer 1

For the Notion notifications and access, you can't invite or add someone to a Notion workspace without a notification, like in any other online service, the user has to be notified, they have to accept, create an account, etc... Otherwise you could add 4600 users to promote your spam content. Makes sense?

Now, if it is going to be public, just activate share at the top right and send them the link, that's it.

That will be a Notion pubic page shared online and anyone can see it. The users are not added to the page, they are just being able to see it, like a blog post.

If it is private and the users should be able to edit or add content, you don't have to grant access and then invite, those two actions are a single one, invite.

In the page you are going to share at the top right add an email, set permissions and the user will be invited with granted access, you don't have to invite and then grant access.

Hope that helps.
