Check whether your Notion action database still fits the work
Review the structure of the database you use alongside project updates, and notice where the tracking setup may no longer fit.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Fetch Database
Fetches a notion database's structural metadata (properties, title, etc.) via its `database id`, not the data entries; `database id` must reference an existing database.
Why this helps
A database designed for an earlier project can lack the properties needed to track the work happening now.
- See the database properties available for project tracking
- Review structure alongside current work
- Spot tracking gaps before they cause confusion
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 fetch the structure of the specified Notion database and review its properties alongside the Basecamp project details you supply.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with the real database and project details, then review the suggestions.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the database schema?
No. Fetch Database retrieves structural metadata. Use Update database schema when you decide a specific schema change is needed.
Can it tell whether a property is missing?
It can compare the returned properties with the tracking needs you provide, but those needs must be stated in the instruction or supplied project details.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Basecamp 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.
