Bring saved Gists into a newly created Notion view

Starting a new view can be a good moment to resurface the snippets you saved.

Trigger

View Created

Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.

Action

List Starred Gists

Tool to list the authenticated user's starred gists. Use when you need to retrieve all gists the user has starred.

Why this helps

Useful saved references can disappear from attention when a new planning flow starts.

  • Resurface starred snippets while setting up a new view.
  • Make saved references easier to reuse.
  • Reduce the mental effort of remembering what you bookmarked.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Gist to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to list your starred Gists when a new view is created.
  • 4Select View Created as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by creating a view and reviewing the starred Gist list.

Questions about this workflow

Does it star any Gists?

No. It lists Gists already starred by the authenticated user.

Can it use the view type?

Mention the view context in the instruction so Notis can frame the returned list appropriately.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Gist actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Check Gist Star

Tool to check if a gist is starred. Use when you need to determine if the authenticated user has starred a specific gist.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Delete Gist Comment

Tool to delete a comment on a gist. Use when you have both the gist_id and comment_id and want to remove that comment. Example prompt: "Delete comment 42 from gist 'aa5a315d61ae9438b18d'".

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Get Gist

Tool to retrieve a specific gist by its ID. Use when you have a gist_id and need complete gist details.

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

Get Gist Comment

Tool to get a specific comment on a gist. Use when you need to retrieve details of a particular comment given gist_id and comment_id.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Get Gist Revision

Tool to retrieve a specific gist revision. Use when you need details of a past state for an existing gist by commit SHA.

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

List Gist Comments

Tool to list comments on a gist. Use after confirming the gist_id to retrieve comments for a specific gist. Example: 'List comments for gist abc123'.

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

List Gist Commits

Tool to list the commit history of a gist. Use after you have the gist ID to review its revisions.

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

List Gist Forks

Tool to list forks of a gist. Use after obtaining a gist_id to retrieve all forks for the gist.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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