Ways Notis can move work from Notion to Grist
Mirror new Notion tasks in a Grist work queue
Add each new Notion task to a Grist table so one dependable queue captures work without another round of copying.
Keep Grist priorities aligned with Notion
When a Notion task's properties change, have Notis update its corresponding Grist record to keep priority and status tracking current.
Capture Notion comments as Grist follow-ups
Turn new Notion comments into Grist follow-up entries so requests and decisions in discussion are less likely to disappear.
Refresh Grist records when Notion briefs change
When the body of a Notion brief changes, update its related Grist record so operational notes stay close to the source.
Register new Notion project subpages in Grist
Add new subpages under a project hub to a Grist register, creating a lightweight index of incoming project work.
Label Grist columns after Notion schema changes
When a Notion data source schema changes, update relevant Grist column metadata to keep table labels aligned with evolving terminology.
Review Grist table purpose when Notion views appear
Use new Notion views as a signal to update Grist table metadata so an operational table's purpose remains easy to recognize.
Put new Notion intake pages in a Grist review queue
Capture new Notion pages in a Grist review queue so requests and ideas get a deliberate review instead of relying on memory.
Capture page-thread requests in Grist
Add comments on a chosen Notion page to a Grist action log so discussion-based requests have a reviewable place to land.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Grist. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Grist actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Records
Tool to add records to a specified table in a Grist document. Use after confirming doc and table IDs.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Document
Tool to create a document in a workspace. Use when you need to add a new document programmatically after selecting a workspace.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create SCIM User
Tool to create a new SCIM user. Use when provisioning new user accounts via SCIM. Run after gathering all required user details.
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 Table
Tool to create tables in a document. Use after confirming the document ID. Creates one or more tables with specified columns in the given document.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Document Webhook
Tool to create a new webhook for a specified document. Use when you need to register webhook endpoints for document events in Grist. Run after confirming document ID.
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 Attachment
Tool to delete a specified attachment from a Grist document. Use when you need to remove a file by providing its document and attachment IDs.
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.
Delete Column
Tool to delete a column from a Grist document table. Use after confirming document, table, and column IDs.
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.
Delete Grist Table Records
Tool to delete records from a specified Grist table. Use when you need to remove specific rows by their IDs. Use after confirming the row IDs exist.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
