Incrementally Capture Slide Notes in Notion
Each new slide appends a simple note block to your Notion running notes page, keeping a light, incremental record of your presentation work.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
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
Some founders prefer lightweight note-taking over bulk imports. This simple automation adds one note block per slide, keeping Notion tidy and manageable.
- Keep a simple, running record of slide development
- Avoid overwhelming your Notion with bulk imports
- Capture notes incrementally as you build
- Light-touch note-taking without friction
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Notion integrations
- 2Create automation: 'When a new slide is added, add a single note block to my running notes page'
- 3Specify your Notion running notes page
- 4Select 'Google Slides - New Slide Added' as the trigger
- 5Test by adding a slide and verifying one note block appears in Notion
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from bulk import?
This adds one block per slide, keeping your Notion page clean and readable. Bulk import adds all content from a slide at once.
Can I format the note blocks?
Yes. Notis can add timestamps, slide titles, or custom text to each block, e.g., 'Slide 5 [2024-07-10 09:00]: [slide content]'.
Will my running notes page get too long?
Over time, yes. You can use this for active presentations and archive old notes pages, or set up a cron to auto-archive old entries.
Can I add metadata to each note?
Yes. Include details like status, priority, or tags in each note block, e.g., '[DRAFT] - Slide needs design review'.

New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
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.
