Connect backlog decisions to ApptiveGrid context
Review existing Notion work with the relevant database context close at hand.
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
Backlog reviews lose momentum when related information has to be found in another tool.
- Query an existing Notion database for review material.
- Bring supplied ApptiveGrid context into a recurring review.
- Make unresolved decisions easier to spot.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ApptiveGrid and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how to review the Notion backlog using the ApptiveGrid context you provide.
- 3Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test against one real database and representative context.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation fetch ApptiveGrid data by itself?
No ApptiveGrid data-fetch event or action is listed. Provide the ApptiveGrid context through the webhook or another available source to the automation.
What does the Notion query do?
It can retrieve pages from an existing Notion database. Describe which backlog items the review should consider.

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.
