When your creative or marketing team buys a new title on Panels Store, the purchase is automatically logged in a Notion database with the title, genre, and a brief note. A Slack message notifies the team so anyone can check it out. Over time, your team builds a shared visual research library without any manual logging.

Step 1: Set up a Panels Store purchase webhook or use Make's email parser to capture purchase confirmation emails.
Step 2: Create a Make scenario that extracts the title, author, genre, and purchase date from each confirmation.
Step 3: Add a new row to a Notion database called 'Visual Research Library' with those details plus a 'Who bought it' field.
Step 4: Post a Slack message to your #creative-team channel: 'New research title added: [Title] — check it in Notion.'
Step 5: Review and tag entries weekly with project relevance so the library stays useful.

See PlansNotion is an all-in-one workspace where your team can write notes, track projects, build databases, and share knowledge — all in one place. Instead of juggling separate apps for documents, project boards, and wikis, Notion puts everything under one roof. Over 100 million people use it, from solo freelancers to large companies. The free plan is generous. You get unlimited pages, a calendar, email, basic forms, and databases at no cost. When your team grows, the Plus plan starts at $10 per member per month and adds collaboration features. Notion also includes built-in AI that can search across your workspace, write drafts, summarize long documents, and fill in database fields automatically — saving you hours of manual work each week. Where Notion really shines is flexibility. You can mold it into almost anything: a CRM, a content calendar, a hiring tracker, or an internal wiki. It connects with about 197 other apps, including two-way syncing with tools like Jira, GitHub, and Asana. If your business needs one hub to organize everything, Notion is a strong contender.
Panels Store lets you buy and download DRM-free (no copy-protection locks) digital comics, graphic novels, manga, and webcomics from independent creators and publishers. You own every comic you buy and can read it instantly in the Panels app on iOS and Mac. It's a direct way to support indie creators while building a library you actually control.
Slack replaces your company's internal email with organized group chats called channels. You create a channel for each project, team, or topic — so conversations stay focused and easy to find. Your team can also share files, hop on quick audio calls (called Huddles), and connect with outside partners through Slack Connect. For a small business, Slack keeps everyone on the same page without the clutter of long email threads. Built-in tools like Canvas (shared documents), Lists (simple task tracking), and Workflow Builder (no-code automation) mean you can manage lightweight projects without paying for extra apps. And with 2,600+ integrations, Slack connects to nearly every tool your business already uses. Slack now includes AI features on every plan — even the free one. The AI can summarize channels you missed, draft messages, answer questions about your company's conversations, and recap your day. It's like having an assistant that reads every message so you don't have to.
