Weekly Goals Auto-Populate Notion Tracker
Every Monday at 8am, Notis creates a Notion entry for the week ahead. It scans your goals Doc (or Docs) and extracts this week's goals, then creates a Notion database row you'll review and update as the week progresses. On Friday, Notis reminds you to log outcomes.
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
Neurodivergent founders often set goals in Docs but don't track progress. Goals are out of sight, so the week happens without intentional focus. You look back and realize you didn't prioritize what matters, leading to frustration and missed objectives.
- Goals auto-populate Notion each week, keeping them visible
- Weekly tracking creates accountability without extra work
- Reduces end-of-week surprises ('Where did the week go?')
- Build a history of weekly progress in Notion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up a Notion weekly goals database with columns for Goals, Progress, Completed, Blockers, Learnings
- 2Connect both tools and create an automation: 'Every Monday at 8am, create a Notion row from my weekly goals Doc'
- 3Point Notis to your goals Doc (or create a template Doc Notis reads each week)
- 4Select 'Notis Cron' trigger and set to Monday morning
- 5Test by manually running it once to verify format, then let it run weekly
Questions about this workflow
What if my goals change mid-week?
Update your goals Doc anytime; Notis won't re-create the week's Notion entry. But you can ask Notis to scan and add new goals as blocking items.
Can Notis extract goals automatically from my Doc?
Yes. If your Doc has a consistent structure (e.g., a bulleted list or a table), Notis can parse and extract goals into Notion properties.
Does this work if I have multiple goals Docs?
You can point Notis to one primary goals Doc, or ask it to scan multiple and consolidate them into one weekly Notion entry.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Notion actions
New Document Created
Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.
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.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
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.
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
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.
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Document Structure Changed
Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed
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).
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
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.
Document Word Count Threshold
Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
New Folder Created in Root
Triggers when a new folder is created in the root folder of Google Drive. This trigger monitors Google Drive and fires when new folders are detected in the root directory.
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.
