Retire outdated project references from Notion
When a project is formally retired, send the reference to Notis so the corresponding Notion page can be archived.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Outdated project pages can look active long after the work has ended, creating confusion about what still needs attention.
- Remove retired references from active workspace views
- Reduce confusion between current and finished work
- Keep a clear cleanup trail in run reports
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a recognizable name.
- 3Tell Notis to archive the specified Notion page only when the supplied Basecamp notice confirms the project is retired.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a suitable page and verify the archived status.
Questions about this workflow
Can I restore an archived page?
The Archive Notion Page action supports unarchiving as well as archiving when you specify that the page should be restored.
Will a general project update archive the page?
The instruction should require a clear retirement notice and identify the exact page to archive.

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

Notion actions
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.
