Check for an existing Notion task before tracking work twice
When a new card arrives, look for a likely match in Notion and surface it for a quick review.
Trigger
New Card Trigger
Triggered when a card is created in the specified board
Action
Query database
Queries a notion database for pages (rows), where rows are pages and columns are properties; ensure sort property names correspond to existing database properties.
Why this helps
The same task can be tracked in multiple places, creating noisy lists and uncertainty about the current record.
- Surface possible duplicates before creating another record.
- Keep task lists less cluttered.
- Reduce uncertainty about where work is tracked.
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 ask Notis to query your task database for a matching item when a new card appears.
- 3Describe the database and how Notis should report possible matches.
- 4Select the Trello New Card trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one card that has a known match or no match in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
Does this delete duplicates?
No. Query database searches for matching rows; it does not remove records.
Can the match be uncertain?
Yes. Ask Notis to report likely matches for your review rather than make a definitive change.

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).
New Card Trigger
Triggered when a card is created in the specified board
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.
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.
