Create Knack records from new Notion tasks
Add a task in Notion and let Notis create its matching Knack record, so you can keep moving without copying details between tools.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Create object record
Tool to create a new record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to add new data to a Knack database object. Requires object-based API key authentication.
Why this helps
Re-entering a new task in a second system interrupts focus and makes it easy for one version to be missed.
- Capture new tasks in Knack as soon as they appear in Notion.
- Reduce manual copying and duplicate entry.
- Keep a dependable record across both workspaces.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Knack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2In the portal, open Automations and create a new automation, or tell Notis what you want in any channel.
- 3Use one instruction: When a new task is added to my Notion task database, create a matching record in Knack.
- 4Select the Notion New Page trigger for the task database and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test by adding one real task and confirm its record appears in Knack.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run for every Notion page?
Choose the New Page trigger for the relevant Notion database so the automation runs for new rows there.
Do I need to configure a field map?
No. Describe the information to carry over in the plain-language instruction; Notis interprets it.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Knack. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Knack actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create object record
Tool to create a new record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to add new data to a Knack database object. Requires object-based API key authentication.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create View Record
Tool to create a new record through a form view in Knack. Use when you need to add a record to a Knack object using a form view interface. Only fields that exist in the form will be used, and any record rules configured on the form will be triggered.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Delete Object Record
Tool to delete a single record from a specific Knack object by its ID. Use when you need to permanently remove a record from an object. This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Requires API key authentication (X-Knack-Application-Id and X-Knack-REST-API-KEY headers).
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.
Delete View Record
Tool to delete a record through a view that contains a delete link. Works with tables, lists, searches, calendars, and details views. This operation is permanent and cannot be undone. Use only after confirming the correct scene_key, view_key, and record_id.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Object Record
Tool to retrieve a single record by its ID from a specific Knack object. Returns the complete record with all field values in both formatted and raw formats. Use this for object-based access which requires API key authentication.
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.
List Object Records
Tool to retrieve multiple records from a specific Knack object (table). Returns up to 1000 records per page with pagination support. Use this for object-based access which requires API key authentication and provides full access to all fields and records. Supports filtering by field values and sorting by field keys.
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.
List View Records
Tool to retrieve multiple records from a specific Knack view (tables, lists, searches, calendars). Use when you need to fetch data from a view with pagination support. Returns only fields included in the view configuration.
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.
Update object record
Tool to update an existing record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to modify field values in an existing record. Only fields provided in the request will be updated; all other fields remain unchanged.
