Keep an overview of new Notion initiatives
Capture new initiative pages in a simple spreadsheet overview that is easy to scan.
Trigger
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Action
Add Table Row
Add a row to a table using microsoft graph api.
Why this helps
New initiatives can be created in a planning page without making it into the portfolio list you use to manage capacity.
- Maintain a compact view of new initiatives.
- Spot new commitments during capacity planning.
- Avoid duplicating setup work across tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Excel to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation that adds a row to your initiatives overview when a new subpage is created beneath the initiatives page.
- 3Pick Page Added to Page and select that parent page as the trigger scope.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Add a real initiative subpage and confirm Excel receives an entry.
Questions about this workflow
Does this monitor all subpages everywhere?
No. Page Added to Page is scoped to a specified parent page.
Can I explain what belongs in the overview?
Yes. Describe the desired initiative entry in the automation prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Excel. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Excel actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Chart
Add a chart to a worksheet using microsoft graph api.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add SharePoint Worksheet
Add a new worksheet to a sharepoint excel workbook using microsoft graph sites api.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Add Table
Create a table in a workbook using microsoft graph api.
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.
Add Table Column
Add a column to a table using microsoft graph api.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Add Table Row
Add a row to a table using microsoft graph api.
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.
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.
Add Worksheet
Add a new worksheet to an excel workbook using microsoft graph api.
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.
Apply Table Filter
Apply a filter to a table column using microsoft graph api.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Notion and Excel, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
