Turn new Google Tasks lists into Notion databases
A new list usually means a new project. When you create one in Google Tasks, Notis sets up a matching database in Notion, so you skip the blank-page setup and get straight to the work.
Trigger
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.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Starting a new project means rebuilding the same Notion database structure by hand, and that friction makes you avoid setting it up at all.
- Every new project starts with structure, not a blank page
- Skip the repetitive database setup each time
- Lower the barrier to actually organizing a new effort
- Consistent structure across all your projects
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 new Google Tasks list is created, create a matching Notion database for it.
- 4Choose the New Task List Created trigger and set a reporting channel.
- 5Create a test list and confirm the Notion database is built.
Questions about this workflow
Can I define the database columns?
Yes. Describe the properties you want, such as status, due date, and owner, and Notis sets up the schema.
Where is the new database created?
Under whatever parent page you name in your instruction.
Does it copy over existing tasks?
This creates the database structure. Pair it with the new-task workflow to fill it with rows.

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.
