Bring older backlog items back into view
Revisit aging work deliberately so the backlog reflects current priorities rather than old intentions.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Query database
Queries a notion database for pages (rows), where rows are pages and columns are properties; ensure sort property names correspond to existing database properties.
Why this helps
A long backlog hides stale commitments and makes choosing the next useful task harder.
- Focus attention on older backlog entries.
- Create a regular opportunity to close or reprioritize work.
- Reduce noise from forgotten commitments.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion once in the Notis portal and make sure the backlog database has a date property suitable for review.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to query older backlog entries using the existing date property and summarize them for review.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the query identifies appropriate rows.
Questions about this workflow
Does it know what counts as stale?
Provide a cutoff or review rule in the automation instruction and use an existing database date property.
Will it archive backlog items automatically?
No. This workflow surfaces entries for review so you can decide what to keep or close.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
