Create a PDF whenever a new client brief lands in Notion
Keep client context in one place, then turn the new brief into a document you can review or share when needed.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Copying a fresh brief into a document template adds another task at the exact moment client work is starting.
- Skip the manual export and formatting pass for every new brief.
- Create a consistent document for review and handoff.
- Keep the original Notion page as the working source.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and DocRaptor to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language what outcome you want.
- 3Choose the Notion New Page trigger and describe that each new client brief should become a PDF.
- 4Choose where Notis should report automation runs, then test with one real brief.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run for every new Notion page?
The New Page trigger fires when a page is added to a Notion database. Describe the client brief context in the automation prompt so Notis can apply it to the intended pages.
Can I review the brief before it is shared?
The workflow creates the PDF in DocRaptor. Use the run report to check the result before sharing it with a client.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to DocRaptor. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
DocRaptor actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Async Document
Tool to create documents asynchronously from HTML content. Use when generating PDF, XLS, or XLSX documents and you need to poll for completion status or use a callback URL for notification.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Document from Referrer
Tool to convert webpages into documents using referrer-based authentication without an API key. Use when you need to generate PDFs or Excel files from registered domains without explicit API credentials.
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.
Create Hosted Async Document
Tool to create a hosted document asynchronously. Use when you need to generate a PDF, XLS, or XLSX document and track its completion status via callback_url or the status API.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Download Async Document
Tool to download a completed asynchronous document using the download URL from status response. Use when you have a download_id and need to retrieve the generated document file.
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.
Get Async Document Status
Tool to check the status of an asynchronously created document. Use when monitoring progress of async documents by polling for completion status.
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.
List Documents (JSON)
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of previously created documents with metadata in JSON format. Use when you need to see document creation history or query past documents.
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.
List Documents (XML)
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of previously created documents with metadata in XML format. Use when you need to see document creation history or query past documents in XML format.
