Capture Astica AI extracted text in a Notion database
Make text pulled from images and documents searchable alongside the work it supports.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Text extracted from scans or screenshots is hard to find later when it stays buried in tool output or copied notes.
- Keep extracted text in a searchable Notion database.
- Preserve the original source reference with the extracted content when available.
- Make it easier to review and reuse text from images or documents.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Astica AI and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to extract text from the supplied source using Astica and create a row in the appropriate Notion database, retaining the source reference and flagging uncertain text.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real image or document and review the database entry.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a database?
No. It inserts a row into an existing Notion database. Identify the database in the instruction and make sure it is accessible to the integration.
What if the image text is unclear?
Ask Notis to mark uncertain or unreadable passages so they can be checked against the original.
Can this handle more than one source type?
The prompt can cover supplied images or documents, as long as Astica can access and extract text from the submitted input.

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.
