Start every project with a clear brief
Capture the project basics once in Notion and get a readable kickoff brief in Google Docs, ready for your team to use.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Create Document Markdown
Creates a new google docs document, optionally initializing it with a title and content provided as markdown text.
Why this helps
Starting each project from a blank document makes it easy to miss context and delay the first useful step.
- Get a consistent starting point for each project.
- Keep the project context together in one shareable document.
- Spend less time formatting and more time deciding what comes next.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Google Docs to Notis once in the portal.
- 2In Automations, create a new automation and describe the brief you want Notis to create for each new project.
- 3Pick the Notion New Page trigger for your projects database and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test it by adding one real project page and reviewing the Google Doc.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run for any Notion page?
Choose the New Page trigger for the projects database so the automation responds to new project entries.
Can the brief include project details?
Tell Notis in plain language which project context and next steps to include, then review the generated document.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Google Docs. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Google Docs actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Copy Google Document
Tool to create a copy of an existing google document. use this to duplicate a document, for example, when using an existing document as a template. the copied document will have a default title (e.g., 'copy of [original title]') if no new title is provided, and will be placed in the user's root google drive folder.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create a document
Creates a new google docs document using the provided title as filename and inserts the initial text at the beginning if non-empty, returning the document's id and metadata (excluding body content).
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Document Markdown
Creates a new google docs document, optionally initializing it with a title and content provided as markdown text.
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 Footer
Tool to create a new footer in a google document. use when you need to add a footer, optionally specifying its type and the section it applies to.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Footnote
Tool to create a new footnote in a google document. use this when you need to add a footnote at a specific location or at the end of the document body.
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.
Create Header
Tool to create a new header in a google document. use this tool when you need to add a header to a document, optionally specifying the section it applies to.
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.
Create Named Range
Tool to create a new named range in a google document. use this to assign a name to a specific part of the document for easier reference or programmatic manipulation.
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 Paragraph Bullets
Tool to add bullets to paragraphs within a specified range in a google document. use when you need to format a list or a set of paragraphs as bullet points.
