Keep deployment follow-ups moving from Buildkite to Notion
Make it easier to return to deployments that still need a decision, verification, or handoff by placing the next step in your Notion queue.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
A deployment can finish with an unresolved question, but that follow-up is easy to miss once attention shifts to the next task.
- Collect unresolved deployment follow-ups in one queue.
- Make next steps easier to revisit during team planning.
- Reduce the chance that a deployment question gets dropped.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review available deployment details, identify runs with an explicit unresolved follow-up, and create a row for each in the intended Notion database.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deployment example and confirm only evidence-backed follow-ups are recorded.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know whether a follow-up is still unresolved?
Only when the Buildkite details or your instruction provide enough evidence. Ask it to include the reason and flag uncertainty instead of inferring completion status.
Will it create a row for every deployment?
Your instruction should specify what qualifies as an unresolved follow-up. There is no separate filter-building screen.
What database is required?
Use an existing Notion database that is accessible to the connected Notion integration.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Buildkite 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.
