Weekly Accountability for Every Commitment
At the end of each week, you might not remember everyone you committed to or what you promised. This workflow creates a weekly summary in Notion of every email you sent that week, organized by recipient, so you can do a Friday accountability check and make sure you're on track to fulfill all your promises.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Without weekly review, neurodivergent founders lose track of what they've committed to across all their emails. Follow-ups don't happen on time, and small promises turn into big trust breaches because you forgot you said yes to something.
- Review all your commitments in one place every Friday
- Catch missed follow-ups before they become problems
- Built-in accountability makes it harder to drop balls
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Notion to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'Every Friday at 5 PM, create a summary page in my Weekly Reviews database showing all emails I sent this week. Organize by recipient or project, include the subject and date of each email.'
- 3Notis will confirm your notification preferences and review time.
- 4Choose your Notion Weekly Reviews database where summaries appear.
- 5Wait for Friday at 5 PM or ask Notis for a test summary to see your first review.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter which sent emails appear in the summary?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Only include emails to clients and my team, not personal emails' or 'Only show emails longer than a few sentences (more likely to contain commitments).'
Can I spot-check if I actually followed up on things from last week?
Absolutely. With a few weeks of summaries in Notion, you can search for a person's name and see what you promised them and whether you followed through.
What if I'm extremely busy and don't want to review every week?
Ask Notis to run less frequently: 'Create a monthly summary instead' or 'Only show emails to VIP contacts or prospects.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Gmail to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Gmail triggers
Notion actions
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
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.
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
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.
