Keep a Notion document tracker up to date
Make new documents easier to triage. Notis can add an entry to your Notion database when OneDrive receives a file.
Trigger
OneDrive File Created Trigger
Triggers when a new file is created in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management for reliable duplicate prevention.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
A growing folder of new material is hard to review when there is no single intake list.
- See new documents in one review queue
- Make intake easier to sort and revisit
- Spend less time rebuilding a list from memory
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and Notion to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to log each new OneDrive document in your Notion tracker.
- 3Choose the OneDrive File Created trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 4Test using a real file and confirm the row appears in the intended database.
Questions about this workflow
What if I do not have a tracker database yet?
Create the database in Notion first, then ask the automation to add new document entries there.
Can the tracker include file context?
Describe the useful details in the prompt. Notis interprets the instruction and available event context.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link One drive to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
One drive triggers
Notion actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Onedrivebasetrigger
Base trigger for OneDrive changes using Gmail-style state management. Subclasses override `filter_changes(...)` to extract only the relevant items.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
OneDrive File Created Trigger
Triggers when a new file is created in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management for reliable duplicate prevention.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
File Updated
Trigger that fires when a OneDrive file's content or metadata changes. Returns file ID, last modified time, and modifier info.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).

Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.

Item Moved or Renamed
Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
