Auto-Update Presentation Appearance and Status
When your presentation reaches key milestones, Notis automatically updates its Notion page icon, cover, or archive status to reflect progress.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
Action
Update Page
Tool to update the properties, icon, cover, or archive status of a page. use when you need to modify existing page attributes.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders struggle to maintain consistent visual status markers for presentations. This automation updates icons and covers automatically, creating visual progress cues.
- Visually track presentation progress without manual updates
- Keep Notion page metadata in sync with slide status
- Use icons and covers as quick status references
- Build consistent visual systems for presentations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both integrations through Notis
- 2Create automation: 'When a presentation reaches [milestone, e.g., 50% complete], update its Notion page icon to [icon] and/or cover to [image]'
- 3Specify which milestones trigger updates and what visual changes to apply
- 4Select 'Google Slides - New Slide Added' as the trigger (or custom logic)
- 5Test by reaching a milestone and verifying the Notion page updates
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know when a milestone is reached?
You specify the criteria in your automation, e.g., 'when slide count reaches 10' or 'when status changes to in-progress'. Notis monitors these conditions.
Can I use custom icons and cover images?
Yes. You can upload custom images or emoji from Notion's library. Notis applies them to match your brand or workflow.
Will this update affect the presentation's content?
No. Only the page metadata (icon, cover, archive status) changes. All content remains intact.
Can I archive presentations automatically?
Yes. Include 'archive this page' in your milestone trigger, e.g., 'when status changes to complete, archive the page'.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Slides to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Slides triggers
Notion actions
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.
