Create Google Calendar events from Notion comments
Half your commitments start as a Notion comment like let's do this Thursday, then die in the thread. Notis reads new comments, understands the plain-language timing, and quick-adds a Google Calendar event, so a passing note becomes a real slot on your day.
Trigger
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.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Scheduling decisions get made in Notion comments and then never leave the thread, so the calendar stays empty and the plan gets forgotten.
- Plans made in comments actually reach your calendar
- Natural-language timing parsed without a form
- No lost decisions buried under later replies
- Ideas turn into scheduled time as they happen
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Google Calendar to Notis from the portal.
- 2Make sure the Notion connection has the Read comments capability, re-authorizing if you enabled it after connecting.
- 3Open Automations, click New Automation, and describe it: when a new comment suggests scheduling something, quick-add it to Google Calendar.
- 4Pick the Comment Created trigger and choose the channel where Notis reports runs.
- 5Test by adding a comment with a date and confirm the event appears.
Questions about this workflow
Why might comment events not fire?
The Notion connection needs the Read comments capability. If it was authorized before you enabled that, re-authorize the connection so comment events flow.
Can I scope it to one page's comments?
Yes. Tell Notis which page to watch in the prompt, or leave it open to catch scheduling comments across the workspace.
What if a comment is not about scheduling?
Notis reads the intent and only acts on comments that clearly ask to schedule, leaving normal discussion alone.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Google Calendar. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Google Calendar actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Insert Calendar into List
Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.
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.
Update Calendar List Entry
Updates an existing entry on the user\'s calendar list.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Delete Calendar
Deletes a secondary calendar. use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.
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.
Update Calendar
Updates metadata for a calendar.
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.
Clear Calendar
Clears a primary calendar. this operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.
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.
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Delete event
Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Create a calendar
Creates a new, empty google calendar with the specified title (summary).
