Keep thoughtful introductions from vanishing after send
Notis can capture the people you connect and the context of an introduction in Notion, making it easier to follow up thoughtfully later.
Trigger
New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
After making an introduction, it is easy to forget to check whether the connection was useful or needs a follow-up.
- Creates a record of introductions you made.
- Makes later relationship follow-up easier to remember.
- Preserves context without requiring a separate manual note.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Notion to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Notion relationship follow-up entry when a sent Outlook message clearly introduces people, capturing names and context available in the message.
- 4Choose the new sent message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one sent message that contains a clear introduction.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create an entry for every group email?
Specify that the message must clearly make an introduction between people, rather than merely include multiple recipients.
Can it suggest a follow-up date?
Ask it to record a date only when one is stated, or leave timing open for you to decide.

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).
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
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
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
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.
