Post a Notion comment when a task changes

Silent changes cause confusion. When a key Google Task's details shift, Notis leaves a comment on the connected Notion page, so anyone watching sees what changed without you writing a separate update.

Trigger

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.

Action

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).

Why this helps

You edit a task but nobody watching the Notion page finds out, so changes get missed and you end up explaining them one by one.

  • Collaborators see changes right where they work
  • No separate messages to explain what moved
  • Fewer surprises and less back-and-forth
  • Keeps the conversation attached to the page

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Tasks and Notion to Notis once from the portal.
  • 2Open your portal link and choose New Automation.
  • 3Describe it plainly: when this Google Task's details change, add a comment to its Notion page noting what changed.
  • 4Select the Task Details Changed trigger and set a channel for run reports.
  • 5Change a detail on the task and confirm a comment appears on the page.

Questions about this workflow

Can the comment describe what changed?

Yes. Ask Notis to summarize the change in the comment and it will.

Does this notify people?

Comments on a Notion page surface to those watching it, so they see the update in context.

Can it comment on a thread instead of the page?

Notis can add to an existing discussion if you point it at that thread in your instruction.

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant
