Keep review checklists connected to file activity
When a tracked file changes, refresh a Notion checklist note that helps you revisit the steps affected by the update.
Trigger
OneDrive Item Updated Trigger
Triggers when an existing file or folder is modified in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management and only detects actual modifications, not new creations.
Action
Update block
Updates an existing notion block's textual content or type-specific properties (e.g., 'checked' status, 'color'), using its `block id` and the specified `block type`.
Why this helps
Checklists become stale when related documents change but nobody remembers which steps need another look.
- Bring relevant review steps back into view
- Keep checklists connected to current documents
- Reduce uncertainty about what needs rechecking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and Notion to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to update the related review block when an existing OneDrive item changes.
- 3Choose the OneDrive Item Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a tracked item and check the updated Notion block.

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

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.
