Trusted approval policy for repeated connector write actions

ChatGPT currently asks for manual confirmation every time it updates Notion page properties. For users who repeatedly approve the same kind of low-risk action, this creates heavy friction. In my case, I use ChatGPT for backlog and story maintenance in Notion. It often updates properties like Goal, Sprint, Status, Estimates, and related URLs. I approve these requests every time, but the repeated modal makes the workflow unnecessarily slow. Please add a trusted approval setting for connector write actions, for example: * Always allow this specific action for this connector * Always allow updates to selected Notion databases/pages * Allow bulk property updates for the next 30 minutes * Require confirmation only for destructive actions This should be opt-in, visible, and revocable from settings. A useful safety model would distinguish between: * Non-destructive property updates * Creating new records/pages * Deleting data * External sharing * Payment or financial actions The current all-or-nothing confirmation flow makes sense for risky actions, but it is too heavy for repeated, non-destructive Notion maintenance tasks that the user has already approved many times.
