Automatically Follow VIP Contacts
Every time you add someone to your VIP contacts in Notion, automatically follow them on Twitter. Stay connected to your network without manual effort.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Follow a user
Allows an authenticated user (path `id`) to follow another user (`target user id`), which results in a pending request if the target user's tweets are protected.
Why this helps
Building relationships requires manual follow-up. Easy to forget to follow someone after adding them to your contact list.
- Stay connected to important contacts effortlessly
- Build relationships at scale
- Never forget to follow a new contact
- Reduce manual follow-up overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Twitter to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation by telling Notis: 'When I add a new contact to my VIP Contacts database in Notion, automatically follow their Twitter account.'
- 3Select 'Notion event' as the trigger and choose 'New Page in Database'.
- 4Tell Notis which field contains their Twitter handle so it knows what to follow.
- 5Test by adding a contact to your VIP list in Notion and verify you start following them on Twitter within a minute.
Questions about this workflow
What if I add someone without a Twitter handle?
Tell Notis to skip them. For example: 'Only follow if they have a Twitter handle filled in.' That prevents errors.
Can I follow them on other platforms too automatically?
If you have their handles for LinkedIn, GitHub, etc., tell Notis to follow on multiple platforms. For example: 'Follow their Twitter, GitHub, and LinkedIn.'
What if I don't want to follow certain contacts automatically?
Add a field to Notion (like 'Auto-Follow') and tell Notis to only follow if that's checked. Full control in Notion.
Does this notify the people I follow?
No, following is a normal action. They won't get a special notification, just like any normal follow on Twitter.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Twitter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Twitter actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Add a list member
Adds a user to a specified twitter list; the list must be owned by the authenticated user.
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.
Add post to bookmarks
Adds a specified, existing, and accessible tweet to a user's bookmarks, with success indicated by the 'bookmarked' field in the response.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get bookmarks by user
Retrieves tweets bookmarked by the authenticated user, where the provided user id must match the authenticated user's 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.
Create group DM conversation
Creates a new group direct message (dm) conversation on twitter with specified participant ids and an initial message, which can include text and media attachments.
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.
Create compliance job
Creates a new compliance job to check the status of tweet or user ids; upload ids as a plain text file (one id per line) to the `upload url` received in the response.
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.
Create a list
Creates a new, empty list on x (formerly twitter), for which the provided name must be unique for the authenticated user; accounts are added separately.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Create a post
Creates a tweet on twitter; `text` is required unless `card uri`, `media media ids`, `poll options`, or `quote tweet id` is provided.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Delete direct message
Permanently deletes a specific twitter direct message (dm) event using its `event id` if the authenticated user sent it; this action is irreversible and does not delete entire conversations.
