Inspect the Notion contract database
Let automations understand the workspace structure before they act.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Automations fail when contract database properties are unclear or outdated.
- Reduce schema mistakes
- Support safer updates
- Make instructions more reliable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Boloforms and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that fetches the target database structure and reports relevant properties.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one database lookup.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the database?
No. It reads the database structure for the workflow.
Can the report include property details?
Yes. Ask Notis to summarize the properties needed for the next step.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Boloforms 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.
