Keep Instagram DM conversations visible on a schedule
Make inbox review a planned routine instead of relying on a spare moment to remember it.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List All Conversations
List all instagram dm conversations for the authenticated user.
Why this helps
DM follow-ups can disappear from view when the inbox is checked only between other tasks.
- Creates a predictable inbox check-in.
- Helps surface conversations that may need a follow-up.
- Reduces reactive, repeated inbox checking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt asking Notis to list Instagram DM conversations and highlight threads that may need a follow-up in your Notion review.
- 3Select a recurring Notis schedule and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test one run and confirm the overview helps you identify the next conversation to review.
Questions about this workflow
Does this read every message in each conversation?
No. The selected action lists conversations. Retrieving messages from a specific conversation uses a separate action.
Will it send replies automatically?
No. This workflow lists conversations for review; sending a message is a separate action.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Instagram. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Instagram actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Carousel Container
Create a draft carousel post with multiple images/videos before publishing.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Media Container
Create a draft media container for photos/videos/reels before publishing.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Post
Publish a draft media container to instagram (final publishing step).
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.
Get Conversation
Get details about a specific instagram dm conversation (participants, etc).
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Post Comments
Get comments on an instagram post.
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.
Get Post Insights
Get instagram post insights/analytics (impressions, reach, engagement, etc.).
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.
Get Post Status
Check the processing status of a draft post container.
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.
Get User Info
Get instagram user info including profile details and statistics.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
