Trigger
New Comment

Action
Generate Barcode or QR Code
Tool to generate barcodes or qr codes using zebra crossing (zxing). use when you need a barcode or qr code image from text values.
Why this helps
Copying links into a separate QR tool adds friction to preparing in-person materials.
- Creates a QR code image from a link or text value.
- Keeps the request connected to its source page.
- Makes printed event or client materials easier to prepare.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Api2pdf to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create QR images for link requests on a chosen page.
- 3Describe the request and output in one plain-language prompt, including how the link should be identified.
- 4Pick New Comment on the specified page or block, choose a reporting channel, and test with one real link comment.
Questions about this workflow
Can the QR code encode a URL?
Api2pdf's barcode or QR action generates a code from text values, including a URL supplied to the workflow.
Does this apply to any workspace comment?
The New Comment trigger is scoped to a specified Notion block or page, which helps keep QR generation relevant.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Api2pdf. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Api2pdf actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Header Footer
Tool to add headers and footers to a pdf document. use when you need consistent page numbering, titles, or custom branding on every page.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete PDF
Tool to delete a previously generated pdf. use when you need to immediately remove a pdf by its response id.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Extract PDF Pages
Tool to extract specific pages from a pdf document. use when you need only certain pages from a larger pdf file.
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.
LibreOffice PDF to HTML
Tool to convert a pdf document to html using libreoffice. use when you need html output of a pdf file (experimental; images may be excluded).
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
LibreOffice Thumbnail
Tool to generate a thumbnail image of a document using libreoffice. use when you need a quick visual preview of a pdf or office file's first page.
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.
Merge PDFs
Tool to merge multiple pdf documents into a single pdf. use when you need to concatenate several pdfs on the server-side.
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.
Optimize PDF
Tool to optimize a pdf document to reduce file size while maintaining quality. use when you need to minimize storage or bandwidth for an existing pdf.
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.
Reorder PDF Pages
Tool to reorder pages of a pdf document. use when you need to rearrange pages into a new order by specifying page indices.
