Make delegated requests visible in Notion
Keep ownership requests from disappearing into chat while you move between conversations and work.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
A request can sound like a quick message but still require someone to own and complete the work.
- Give ownership requests a visible place to be reviewed.
- Keep the original request context near the follow-up.
- Make it easier to see which asks still need an owner.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Notion to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set one up in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to add a Notion row when a message requests work or assigns ownership.
- 4Select New WhatsApp Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real delegation request and check the Notion entry.
Questions about this workflow
Can it capture requests even when there is no explicit deadline?
Yes. The instruction can focus on ownership or requested work without requiring a deadline.
Does this assign the task to a Notion user?
The workflow captures a row from the message. Any ownership details to include should be described in the prompt.

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 WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
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.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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.
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.
