Build a searchable Notion directory of Zendesk customers
Keep a lightweight customer directory current as new users enter Zendesk, without manually copying every record.
Trigger
New User Created
Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Finding a customer's basic context can take several searches across support tools and notes.
- Create one convenient index of newly created customers.
- Make customer lookups easier during support or planning.
- Avoid manually duplicating each new user into a directory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Zendesk and Notion to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language prompt asking Notis to add each new Zendesk user to your Notion customer directory.
- 4Select the New User Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real user and verify the directory record is easy to find.
Questions about this workflow
Can I keep using an existing directory database?
Yes. Ask Notis to add the record to the existing Notion database, which must be accessible to the integration.
Will existing Zendesk users be imported?
This trigger applies to new user creation events. It does not backfill existing users.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Zendesk to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Zendesk 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 User Created
Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.
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 Zendesk Ticket
Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Zendesk and Notion, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
