Use API updates to focus your Notion database review
Pair fresh external data with your existing records so the next review starts with the rows that matter.
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 database review can miss important changes when its records are not checked against current external information.
- Compare current external information with existing database records.
- Focus review time on potentially relevant rows.
- Make recurring triage more consistent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apiverve and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for database triage.
- 3Tell Notis what Apiverve data to retrieve, which Notion database to query, and what signals should make a row worth reviewing.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the queried records and triage summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis know which database properties matter?
State which database and properties the instruction should use. Notis can query the database, but your relevance criteria need to be described.
Can it update the rows automatically?
This workflow queries rows and helps surface them for review. To change row properties, use a separate instruction with an appropriate Notion update action and clear criteria.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Apiverve to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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.
