Tick Notion checkboxes when Google Tasks are done
Completing a task should feel finished everywhere. When you mark a Google Task done, Notis checks the matching to-do block in Notion, so your checklists show real progress without you re-ticking anything by hand.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified.
Action
Update block
Updates an existing notion block's textual content or type-specific properties (e.g., 'checked' status, 'color'), using its `block id` and the specified `block type`.
Why this helps
You finish work in Google Tasks but your Notion checklist still shows it open, so progress looks stuck and you re-tick things twice.
- Your Notion checklist reflects genuine progress
- No double-ticking the same completed work
- A satisfying, accurate sense of momentum
- Removes a nagging mismatch between two apps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Notion to Notis once in the portal.
- 2From your portal link, start a New Automation.
- 3Say it plainly: when a Google Task is completed, check the matching to-do block in Notion.
- 4Choose the Task Updated trigger and set the channel for run reports.
- 5Complete a test task and confirm the Notion checkbox ticks.
Questions about this workflow
Does this only fire on completion?
You describe the completion condition in your instruction, so Notis only ticks the block when the task is marked done.
What if the block is not a to-do?
This works with Notion to-do blocks. For database status instead, use the workflow that updates rows.
Can it uncheck if I reopen the task?
Yes, if you describe that behavior. Notis can update the block based on the task state.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Tasks to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Tasks triggers
Notion actions
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.
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 Task List Created
Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected.
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.
Task Details Changed
Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified.
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.
Task List Changed
Triggers when a task list changes (title or content updates). This trigger monitors a specific Google Tasks list and fires when changes are detected.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Task Updated
Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified.
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.
