Start an agenda before the meeting starts
Notis can create a Notion agenda page when a new Outlook event appears, giving you a dedicated place to gather questions and topics ahead of time.
Trigger
New Calendar Event
Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Useful discussion points often come to mind between meetings and are forgotten by the time the event begins.
- Creates a consistent place to collect agenda items.
- Makes it easier to add thoughts before the meeting.
- Keeps the event information with its discussion plan.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Notion to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a portal automation or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction asking Notis to create a Notion agenda entry when a new Outlook event is created, including event details and a short section for topics to discuss.
- 4Select the new Outlook calendar event trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one upcoming event and add a topic to its Notion agenda.
Questions about this workflow
Is this different from a prep page?
This workflow focuses on collecting discussion topics. You can adapt the instruction to include broader preparation too.
Will it create agenda entries for all new events?
The trigger runs for new events. If you want to limit it, describe which event types should get an agenda in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Outlook to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Outlook 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.
New Contact Added
Triggered when a new contact is added in the Outlook contacts.
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.
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
New Calendar Event
Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.
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.
New Sent Message

Create Notion page

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.
