How to automate anything in Notion

Introduction

Automating your Notion workspace can transform the way you work—freeing up time, reducing manual effort, and letting you focus on what matters most. Notis is the only Notion AI agent that supports both recurring (scheduled, database-driven) and disposable (one-off, prompt-based) automations. Whether you’re a developer, freelancer, or entrepreneur, this guide will show you how to automate anything in Notion using Notis.

Using Notion Webhooks with Notis

Notis makes it easy to trigger automations directly from Notion using webhooks. Here’s how to set up your first automation:

Step 1: Create an Automation in Notion

1. Open your Notion database and click the Automation button.

2. Click Add new and select your trigger—either when a property is updated or when a new page is created.

Step 2: Add a Webhook Action

1. Add a new action and select Webhook.

2. On WhatsApp or Telegram, ask Notis for your portal link.

3. In the Notis portal, go to the Automations menu and create a new automation.

4. Select Webhook trigger and paste your instruction (e.g., “Create a new social media post for this blog post that I just published”).

5. Save your automation and copy the webhook link.

6. Paste the webhook link into your Notion automation action and save.

Result: Every time a new blog post is created and marked as published in your Notion database, Notis will automatically create a new entry in your social media database—no manual work required.

Automating Notion via Any Webhook Provider (n8n, Zapier, Make, Pipedream)

Want to supercharge your automations? Notis integrates with any no-code automation platform that supports webhooks. Here’s an example for developers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs:

Scenario: You track leads or content in Google Sheets and want new entries to trigger actions in Notion via Notis.

Step-by-Step:

1. In n8n (or Zapier, Make, Pipedream), set your workflow’s trigger as “New row in Google Sheets.”

2. Add a webhook action as the next step.

3. In the Notis portal, create a new automation with the instructions you want (e.g., “Add this lead to my Notion CRM”).

4. Select Webhook and copy the provided link.

5. Paste this webhook link into your automation platform’s webhook action.

6. Save and activate your workflow.

Result: Every time a new entry is added to your Google Sheet, the automation platform calls Notis’ webhook, and Notis executes your custom instruction in Notion—instantly.

Tip: This approach works for any platform that can send webhooks. You can automate content creation, CRM updates, reminders, and more.

Running Scheduled Automations Using Notis

Need regular, recurring actions? Notis lets you schedule automations to run at any interval—no coding required.

How to Set Up a Scheduled Automation:

1. Open the Notis portal and go to Automations.

2. Click Create new automation and select Schedule as the trigger.

3. Choose your frequency (e.g., every Friday at 5pm).

4. Write your instruction (e.g., “Send me a summary of all tasks I’ve completed this week to my email”).

5. Save and activate.

Result: Notis will automatically run your instruction at the scheduled time, keeping you organized and up to date.

Pro Tip: You can choose the channel—receive results by email, WhatsApp, or Telegram, and even as a voice message.

Why Notis Stands Out

Most automation tools force you to pick between recurring routines or disposable, on-demand workflows. Notis is unique: it supports both. You can start with a one-off automation, then “upgrade” it to a recurring workflow as your needs evolve. Plus, you can add business logic directly in your Notion database descriptions for even more control.

Key Benefits:

• Hybrid automation: one-off and recurring

• Integrates with Notion, WhatsApp, Telegram, email, and any webhook provider

• Minimal setup, maximum flexibility

• Designed for both technical and non-technical users
