Give new team members a thoughtful welcome
Make a handwritten welcome part of the new-hire process by connecting a Notion onboarding record to Handwrytten.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Place Order in Basket
Tool to add an order to the basket in Handwrytten. Use when you need to create a new handwritten card order with specified recipients, card design, message, and delivery details. The order can be placed immediately or scheduled for future delivery.
Why this helps
Small onboarding gestures are often crowded out by access setup, planning, and first-week meetings.
- Add a personal touch to a repeatable onboarding process.
- Avoid keeping a separate reminder to prepare and send a card.
- Schedule the note around the new hire's start date.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Handwrytten to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction for welcoming new hires.
- 3Select Notion's New Page trigger for the onboarding database and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with one real onboarding record and review the resulting order.
Questions about this workflow
Can the card be scheduled for a start date?
Ask Notis to schedule delivery around the start date if that date is available in the Notion record.
Can this be used for contractors too?
Yes. Explain in your prompt which onboarding records qualify for a welcome card.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Handwrytten. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Handwrytten actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Recipient
Tool to add a recipient address to the user's addressbook in Handwrytten. Use when you need to store a new recipient for sending handwritten cards.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Calculate Order Taxes
Tool to calculate taxes for Handwrytten basket orders. Use without any parameters for basket orders, or optionally provide order details to calculate taxes for a specific order (experimental).
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Check Authentication
Tool to verify API key authentication validity for Handwrytten. Use when you need to test if the API credentials are valid and properly configured.
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.
Clear Basket
Tool to clear all items from the shopping basket. Use when you need to empty the basket and remove all pending items before starting a new order or canceling the current selection.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Template
Tool to create a new template for the current user. Use when you need to save a new message template for sending handwritten cards.
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 User Address
Tool to create a new user address in Handwrytten. Use when adding a new return address to a user's profile for sending handwritten cards.
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 Custom Image
Tool to delete a custom image/logo from Handwrytten. Use when you need to remove a previously uploaded custom image or logo from your 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.
Delete Recipient Address
Tool to delete one or more recipient addresses from user's profile. Use when you need to remove saved recipient addresses. Provide either address_id for single deletion or address_ids for bulk deletion.
