Notis

Automatically Generate Certificate PDFs Weekly

Every Monday morning, Notis generates PDFs of all certificates issued that week, ready for download or sharing.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Generate PDFs for Credentials

Tool to generate pdfs for multiple credentials. use when you need to batch-download a zip archive of certificate pdfs for a list of published credential ids. example: "generate pdfs for credentials [10000005, 10272642]".

Why this helps

Manually generating certificate PDFs week after week creates cognitive overhead and invites mistakes when juggling multiple programs.

  • Certificates packaged and ready to download every week
  • No manual PDF generation required
  • Perfect for sharing with stakeholders or archiving
  • Happens automatically while you focus on teaching

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Ensure Notion and Accredible are connected to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation with this instruction: 'Every Monday at 8am, generate PDFs for all certificates issued last week.'
  • 3Select 'Recurring schedule (weekly)' as your trigger.
  • 4Choose when Notis should send you the download link (Slack, email, or portal).
  • 5Test by running the automation manually and confirm you receive a zip file of certificate PDFs.

Questions about this workflow

Can I change the day or time?

Yes. You can specify any day and time that works for your workflow, and Notis will generate on that schedule.

What if I want PDFs for a specific program only?

Tell Notis which credential groups or types to include, and it will only generate PDFs for those credentials.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Accredible certificates. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Accredible certificates actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Bulk Create Credentials (V2)

Tool to bulk create credentials. use when batching up to 30 credentials in one call; supports multi-status (207) responses.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Clone Group

Tool to clone an existing group. use after confirming the source group exists and you need a copy with optional overrides.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Create Collection

Tool to create a new collection. use when you need a curated set of groups.

ActionInstant

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

Create Evidence Item

Tool to create a new evidence item for a credential. use after confirming credential id.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Create Group

Tool to create a new group. use after gathering all group details.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

Delete Credential

Tool to delete a credential. use after confirming you want to permanently remove an existing credential. executes delete on /credentials/{credential id} endpoint and returns status code.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Delete Group

Tool to delete a group. use after confirming no credentials remain and when you need to permanently remove the group.

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

Delete Reference

Tool to delete a specific reference by id. use after confirming both credential id and reference id. example: "delete reference 1234 from credential 'abc123'."

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Accredible certificates, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
