Read existing Notion evidence before enrichment
Let new research build on what is already documented.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch Notion block metadata
Fetches metadata for a notion block (or page, as pages are blocks) using its valid uuid; if the block has children, use fetch block contents to fetch their contents.
Why this helps
Fresh enrichment can duplicate or contradict facts already stored on the account page.
- Reduces duplicate notes
- Preserves existing context
- Improves enrichment quality
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigpicture io and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Evidence block reader.
- 3Tell Notis to fetch the matching Notion block, compare its current evidence with incoming Bigpicture io findings, and report only new or conflicting information.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select the run report channel.
- 5Test with one block and one enrichment result.
Questions about this workflow
What does the workflow return?
It returns block metadata and content context for the enrichment decision.
Can it update the block too?
Pair the read step with a separate update action when you want changes written.

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.
