Find device maintenance follow-ups before they slip
Turn a weekly database check into a short list of maintenance items that need your attention.
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
Maintenance dates and device follow-ups are easy to miss when no one has time to revisit the tracking database.
- Surface maintenance items due for review from a Notion database.
- Reduce the need to scan every database row manually.
- Keep device follow-ups visible through a concise summary.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the weekly maintenance review in one instruction.
- 3Choose a recurring schedule trigger and set its time and timezone.
- 4Choose where Notis run reports should go.
- 5Test with one run and verify the queried database and summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow create maintenance records?
No. It queries an existing Notion database and summarizes matching rows. Use a separate instruction and supported action if you want to create or update records.
What database does it query?
Specify the accessible Notion maintenance database in your automation instruction. The database needs relevant properties for the review.
Can it tell which items are overdue?
It can assess dates available in the queried rows. It cannot infer missing due dates or maintenance rules that are not provided.

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.
