Turn saved Are.na links into a reading list
Give a pile of links a purpose. Notis can organize the Are.na references you submit into a Notion reading list with brief context for each.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
A long list of saved links makes it difficult to choose what to read first or remember why you saved it.
- Group links around a topic or question.
- Add concise context based on the submitted source information.
- Make it easier to decide what deserves attention next.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Are.na and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a Notis automation and name it for link triage.
- 3Describe the outcome: organize the submitted Are.na links into a Notion reading list, add a short available-context note for each, and group related links.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real set of links from Are.na.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis explain links it cannot access?
Not reliably. Ask it to use information returned with the submission and mark missing context rather than guessing.
Can I submit only a few links?
Yes. Send the selected links or channel material to the webhook for a focused list.

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.
