Give every new idea a place in your Excel capture list

Capture ideas while they are fresh and review them later without relying on memory.

Trigger

Page Created

Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.

Action

Add Table Row

Add a row to a table using microsoft graph api.

Why this helps

Ideas can arrive mid-task and disappear from attention if recording and organizing them takes too many steps.

  • Keep a low-friction capture list for new ideas.
  • Separate collecting ideas from deciding what to do.
  • Reduce the pressure to organize thoughts immediately.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Excel to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation asking Notis to add each new idea page to your Excel capture list.
  • 3Pick Page Created and scope it to the ideas data source.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Add a real idea page and confirm it appears in Excel.

Questions about this workflow

Can I review ideas later rather than organize them immediately?

Yes. The spreadsheet can act as a capture and review list; say what Notis should record in the prompt.

Can the trigger be limited to my ideas database?

Yes. Scope Page Created to the relevant data source.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

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.

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.

Add Workbook Permission

Tool to grant access to a workbook via invite. use when you need to share a specific workbook file with designated recipients and roles.

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

Add Worksheet

Add a new worksheet to an excel workbook using microsoft graph api.

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.
