Keep CircleCI failure summaries in a Notion database
Make supplied failure details easier to revisit by keeping them in one searchable Notion database.
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
Failure details can disappear into scattered messages, making recurring issues harder to review later.
- Keep failure summaries in a searchable place.
- Make later review easier with consistent entries.
- Reduce manual copying into an issue log.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add each supplied CircleCI failure summary as a database row, preserving the facts and avoiding invented causes.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real failure summary and an existing Notion database.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a new database for me?
No. This workflow adds rows to an existing Notion database.
Can it diagnose a failure from a short summary?
It can organize supplied details, but should not state an unsupported root cause. Include diagnostic context if you want it recorded.

Recurring trigger

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.
