The install plan
Exactly what Notion Arena sends to Notion, in order. Notion's data-source model forces two passes: relations, rollups and the formulas that read them need data_source_ids that only exist once the databases do.

The real property schemas, not a description of them. Every formula below is a Notion Formula 2.0 expression you can paste into a property by hand if you would rather not use the API at all.

Created through POST /v1/views, which shipped in March 2026 and is the reason provisioning a workspace from code finally works end to end.

The parts the API cannot do
Every recipe ships with its manual steps written out, because pretending the API covers everything is how people end up with a half-built workspace. These are real Notion limitations, quoted from the API reference.
Automation: nudge yourself to follow up
Database automations have no public API surface. They are configured per-database in the Notion app under ••• → Automations.
- 1Applications → Automations → New automation.
- 2Trigger: Last contact is more than 7 days ago (use a date-based trigger, or a recurring daily check).
- 3Condition: Stage is not in the Complete group.
- 4Action: add a comment “Chase today”, and optionally a Notion reminder on Next step.
Recurring template: weekly job-search review
Recurring database templates (daily/weekly/monthly) are configured in the app on the template's ••• menu; the API can create pages from a template but cannot schedule recurrence.
- 1Create a “Weekly review” database template with linked views: Follow up, Interviews (next 14 days), Pipeline.
- 2Template ••• → Repeat → Every Sunday at 18:00.
- 3Body prompt: how many applications, how many conversations, what is the conversion rate, and what changes next week.
About this component
A job search as a pipeline. Companies and Applications databases, a status board, a calendar of interviews, follow-up formulas that flag silence after N days, and page templates for outreach emails and interview debriefs.
What it does
- Follow-up formula that surfaces applications gone quiet
- Offer comparison template with a weighted score
- Calendar view for interviews with a location property
- Conversion-rate rollup: applications → interviews → offers
