Create a Google Calendar for every new Notion database
Kicking off a project in Notion means a fresh database, and moments later you wish it had a calendar to match. Notis notices the new database and creates a dedicated Google Calendar, so each initiative starts life with a clean schedule instead of everything piling onto one calendar.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create a calendar
Creates a new, empty google calendar with the specified title (summary).
Why this helps
New projects begin in Notion but share one crowded calendar, so it becomes impossible to see any single initiative's schedule at a glance.
- Every project starts with its own calendar
- No more one crowded calendar for all initiatives
- Clean separation makes each schedule easy to read
- Setup happens the instant the database is created
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Google Calendar to Notis from the portal.
- 2Open Automations, click New Automation, or ask Notis to set it up in any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: when a new database is created in Notion, create a matching Google Calendar named after it.
- 4Pick the Database Created trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating one database and confirming the new calendar appears.
Questions about this workflow
What name does the new calendar get?
Notis names it from the database by default. Describe your naming preference in the prompt if you want a specific pattern.
Will this fire for every database I make?
You can scope the prompt so it only creates calendars for project databases, ignoring casual or scratch ones.
Can it also route future events to that calendar?
Yes. Pair this with an automation that files new project events onto the calendar Notis just created.

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).
