Turn Retros into Notion Action Items Automatically
Retrospectives identify improvements, but insights vanish if not captured immediately. Convert your retro calls into a trackable Notion action list automatically.
Trigger
Transcription Complete Trigger
Triggers when a transcription is complete. Polls Fireflies API for transcripts created or updated since the last poll time. Handles rate limiting gracefully.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
You run retros and capture good insights, but they don't translate into changes because they're not tracked in Notion. Insights get forgotten, and the same problems recur.
- Every retro action item becomes a tracked task in Notion
- Insights drive actual changes because they're documented and assigned
- Track which retro improvements actually got done
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Fireflies and Notion.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a Fireflies retrospective call transcription completes, extract all action items and improvements suggested. Create Notion database rows with: action item description, owner (who said they'd handle it), target date, and category [Process / Communication / Technical].'
- 3Set Fireflies transcription as the trigger.
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5After your next retro, verify action items appear as rows in your Notion actions database.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis distinguish real action items from discussion points?
It looks for commitments: 'I'll do...', 'We should...', or when someone raises their hand to own something. You can refine detection in your prompt.
Can I auto-schedule follow-up meetings based on these actions?
Yes. In your automation: 'If an action item has a target date, create a Notion reminder or schedule a 1:1 to review it with the owner.'
What if multiple people volunteered for the same 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.
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.
