Give a ready release task a branch to start from
Once a release task is ready to build, Notis can create its GitLab branch so you can move into implementation with less setup.
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
Create Repository Branch
Tool to create a new branch in a project. use when you need to create a new branch from an existing branch or a specific commit in a gitlab project.
Why this helps
Small setup steps between planning and coding can interrupt momentum and make it easier to put a task off.
- Reduce setup friction at the start of implementation.
- Give release work a branch when the task is created.
- Keep the transition from planning to building straightforward.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and GitLab to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to create one.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction which new release tasks are ready for a GitLab branch.
- 4Choose the Notion Page Created trigger for the release data source and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one ready release task and verify the branch in GitLab.
Questions about this workflow
Can this run on every page in Notion?
Scope Page Created to the release data source so the event follows new rows there.
What if the task is not ready to build yet?
Describe the readiness signal in the prompt so Notis creates branches only for tasks that are ready.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Gitlab. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Gitlab actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Archive Project
Tool to archive a project. use when you need to mark a project read-only after finishing active development. call after confirming no further changes are required.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create GitLab Group
Tool to create a new group in gitlab. use when you need to establish a new group for projects or collaboration.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Project
Tool to create a new project in gitlab. implements post /projects endpoint.
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 Project Issue
Tool to create a new issue in a gitlab project. use when you need to report a bug, request a feature, or track a task within a specific project.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Repository Branch
Tool to create a new branch in a project. use when you need to create a new branch from an existing branch or a specific commit in a gitlab project.
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.
Delete Project
Tool to delete a gitlab project by its id. use when you need to remove a project, either by marking it for later deletion or deleting it immediately.
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.
Download Project Avatar
Tool to download a project’s avatar image. use when you need the raw avatar bytes after confirming the project exists.
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.
Erase Job
Tool to erase the content of a specified job within a project. use when you need to remove job artifacts and logs.
