Keep an existing Notion database record up to date
Send a request about a record and update the existing row where you track the work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update row database
Updates or archives an existing notion database row (page) using its `row id`, allowing modification of its icon, cover, and/or properties; ensure the target page is accessible and property details (names/ids and values) align with the database schema and specified formats.
Why this helps
Changing database records by hand adds friction and can leave the latest status in the request thread instead of the database.
- Update the existing record instead of creating a duplicate
- Keep database details aligned with incoming work
- Archive a row when the request calls for it
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how an existing database row should be updated.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger for the automation.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the intended row changed.
Questions about this workflow
Can this action archive a row?
Yes. It can update or archive an existing database row.
What must be known to update a row?
The automation needs enough context to identify the intended row and use property names and values that match the database schema.

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.
