Catch overdue tasks and update Notion each morning
Overdue items have a way of hiding. Each morning Notis checks your Google Tasks for anything past due and updates the matching Notion rows, so overdue work gets flagged and rolled forward instead of quietly rotting in the background.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update row database
Updates or archives an existing notion database row (page) using its `row id`, allowing modification of its icon, cover, and/or properties; ensure the target page is accessible and property details (names/ids and values) align with the database schema and specified formats.
Why this helps
Overdue tasks slip out of sight and stay unaddressed, so by the time you notice, several have been dead in the water for days.
- Overdue work gets surfaced instead of buried
- Your Notion rows reflect what actually needs attention
- No silent pile-up of past-due items
- A daily safety net that runs on its own
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: each morning, find my overdue Google Tasks and update their Notion rows to flag them.
- 4Pick a daily schedule as the trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 5Run it once and confirm overdue rows are updated in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
What does rolling forward do?
You define it in plain language, such as flagging the row or bumping its date, and Notis applies that to overdue rows.
How does it know what is overdue?
Notis reads the due dates on your Google Tasks and acts on the ones past due.
Can it also notify me?
Yes. The run report goes to the channel you choose, so you see what was flagged each morning.

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.
