Keep your Notion database structure in view
Review the database properties your Clay process depends on before small changes cause confusion.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Database schema changes can surprise a workflow when no one checks the structure regularly.
- Make database structure easier to review
- Spot schema changes during a regular check
- Give routine owners a shared reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clay and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to fetch the structural metadata for the Notion database you name and summarize its properties.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real database and confirm its properties appear in the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action return database rows?
No. It retrieves structural metadata such as properties and title, not database entries.
What if the database changes?
The scheduled fetch can surface the current structure each time it runs, which you can compare in the report.

Notis builds workflows that link Clay 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.
