Start new Trello projects with a Notion database
Give each new project a structured Notion home as soon as its Trello board appears.
Trigger
New Board Trigger
Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace
Action
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.
Why this helps
New projects often begin without a consistent place for planning notes, decisions, and follow-up.
- Create a consistent planning home for new projects.
- Reduce setup decisions at the start of a busy week.
- Keep project notes near the work board.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Trello and Notion to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create a project database for each new board.
- 3Describe the purpose and structure for the Notion database in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Select the Trello New Board trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a new board and check that the intended database is created.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Trello to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Trello 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.
Card Archived Trigger
Triggered when a card is archived in the specified board
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.
New Activity Trigger
Triggered when there is activity in Trello.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
New Board Trigger
Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace
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).

Card Updated Trigger
Triggered when a specific card is updated
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.
