Keep staffing follow-ups with the discussion
Put a useful staffing update or follow-up question directly beside the Notion discussion where your team is already coordinating.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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).
Why this helps
When staffing context and follow-up live in separate places, teammates can miss the decision or question that needs their attention.
- Keep a staffing update beside the relevant Notion discussion.
- Turn supplied context into a concise follow-up prompt.
- Reduce the need to re-explain information across tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Notion to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the comment to add from the supplied staffing context.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger for starting the automation.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the comment appears on the intended page.
Questions about this workflow
What does the webhook need to provide?
Supply the staffing context and identify the relevant Notion page. The automation needs an accessible page to comment on.
Can it start a new inline discussion on a block?
No. This action adds a comment to a page or an existing discussion thread, and cannot create a new discussion on a specific block.
Will the comment assign a follow-up owner?
Only when the owner is supplied or clear from the instruction and available context. Otherwise, ask Notis to leave ownership as an open question.

Recurring trigger

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.
