Keep useful links where the work lives
Move important references from direct messages into the Notion page where you will need them again.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
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).
Why this helps
A link sent in a DM is easy to lose when it is separated from the project or decision it supports.
- Keep links with the work they support
- Reduce repeat searching across DM history
- Preserve a short explanation alongside a reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Notion to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to comment with a useful link and brief context on the matching Notion page when an incoming DM shares a project reference.
- 3Select Direct Message Received, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one real reference DM.
Questions about this workflow
Can it skip ordinary links?
Tell Notis to save only links that clearly support an active project, decision, or task.
What if the related Notion page is unclear?
Ask Notis to skip the comment rather than guess where the reference belongs.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slackbot to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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 Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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).
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
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.
