Prepare optional cat icebreakers on your Notion meeting page
Give a meeting host a ready-made option for opening with something light. A webhook gathers a few facts and places them on the meeting page.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Coming up with an easy opener at the last minute adds friction to meeting preparation.
- Prepare an opener without another search.
- Keep the icebreakers with the meeting notes.
- Use fresh facts for each request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cats and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to fetch three distinct cat facts and add them under an optional icebreaker heading on the specified Notion meeting page.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example using a meeting page.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically find the next meeting page?
The workflow should use the page you identify in your instruction or webhook context. Do not assume it can access a calendar unless that capability is separately connected.
Can I make the icebreaker optional?
Yes. Ask Notis to label the section as optional so the host can use it or skip it.

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.
