Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders accumulate knowledge through scattered sources including email. But without a system, that knowledge becomes invisible. You have great insights trapped in memory with no retrieval system.
- All research and learning resources are automatically logged and searchable
- Build your personal knowledge base without manual effort
- Spot connections between ideas across sources
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Notion
- 2Create a Notion database for research with fields for topic, resource, source, date, and notes
- 3Set up an automation: 'When I receive emails with research, learning resources, or educational content, log them to my research database'
- 4Trigger: 'Agent mail: New Email'
- 5Email yourself a research article and verify it appears in the database
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis identify research emails?
Look for keywords or patterns. Example: 'Log emails with links to articles, PDFs, or that contain 'research', 'study', 'learning', or 'resource'.'
Can I extract and store the actual content?
Yes. Tell Notis to save the link and create a summary of the key points from the email.

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.
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.
