Reset a task plan when timing changes

Make a changed task easier to handle with a short document for revisiting the timing, dependencies, and next action.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

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

A deadline shift can leave several tasks feeling out of sync, without an obvious way to reset the plan.

  • Pause and reconsider what the date change affects.
  • Make a next action visible in writing.
  • Keep deadline changes from becoming a vague source of stress.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Google Docs to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create a new automation and prompt Notis to prepare a short reset plan after a task property update.
  • 3Choose Page Properties Updated for the task database and select a channel for run reports.
  • 4Update one real task date and review the resulting plan.

Questions about this workflow

Can it react only to a due date change?

The trigger covers page property updates in the selected data source. Explain in the prompt how Notis should handle the update context.

Will the plan change the Notion task?

This workflow creates a Google Doc. It does not update the Notion task.

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.

TriggerScheduled

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.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

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).

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Create Document Markdown

Creates a new google docs document, optionally initializing it with a title and content provided as markdown text.

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

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.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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