Make every new Notion task easier to start

A vague task can stall before it begins. Let Ollama turn new Notion tasks into a clear outcome and one realistic next step.

Trigger

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

Action

Generate Text with Ollama

Tool to generate text responses from Ollama models with optional raw mode. Use raw=true to bypass prompt templating when you need full control over the prompt for debugging or custom processing. Note that raw mode will not return a context.

Why this helps

New tasks often arrive with too little context, leaving the founder to reconstruct what they meant before starting.

  • Reduce time spent decoding vague task titles.
  • Get a concrete first move without opening another research loop.
  • Keep task clarification close to the moment the work appears.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Ollama to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2In Automations, create a new automation and give it a name.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Ollama to turn each new Notion database task into its intended outcome and one small first step.
  • 4Choose the Notion New Page trigger, select a channel for run reports, and create the automation.
  • 5Test it with a real task that has a short or unclear title.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create another Notion task?

The automation asks Ollama to generate clarification. Its prompt should specify where Notis should report that result; it does not imply an automatic Notion write-back.

Can it help with incomplete task titles?

Yes. Ask Ollama to use only the task context available and state what remains unclear rather than inventing missing details.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Ollama. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Ollama actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Chat with Ollama model

Tool to send a chat message with conversation history to Ollama. Use when you need to have a multi-turn conversation with an LLM model.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Generate Text with Ollama

Tool to generate text responses from Ollama models with optional raw mode. Use raw=true to bypass prompt templating when you need full control over the prompt for debugging or custom processing. Note that raw mode will not return a context.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

List Models

Tool to list all available Ollama models and their details. Use when you need to fetch installed models with metadata including name, size, last modified timestamp, digest, and format information.

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

OpenAI-Compatible Chat Completion

Tool to create OpenAI-compatible chat completions using Ollama models. Use when you need conversational AI responses with OpenAI API format compatibility.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

OpenAI-Compatible Text Completion

Tool to create OpenAI-compatible text completions using Ollama models. Use when you need text generation with OpenAI API format compatibility beyond chat-based interactions.

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

List Models (OpenAI Compatible)

Tool to list available models using OpenAI-compatible API format. Use when you need to retrieve locally available Ollama models with metadata following OpenAI's model list format.

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

Show Model Information

Tool to show comprehensive information about an Ollama model. Use when you need to retrieve model details, parameters, template, license, or system prompt.

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

Get Ollama Version

Tool to get the version of Ollama running locally. Use to check which version of Ollama is currently installed.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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