Recurring vs Disposable Workflows: The Ultimate Flexibility of Notion AI Agents with Notis
Ultimate Flexibility with Notion AI: Recurring and Disposable Workflows with Notis
When it comes to leveraging AI for productivity, the conversation is often dominated by buzzwords—Notion AI, Notion Agent, Voice to Notion. But beneath the hype, the real magic is in how you structure your workflows. At Notis, I like to separate AI-powered workflows into two categories: Recurring Workflows and Disposable Workflows.
What Are Recurring and Disposable Workflows?
Recurring Workflows: Think of these as your digital routines—automations that run every time a trigger event happens. For example, using @meetgranola to record all your meetings and automatically save the transcript in a Notion database. This is a classic recurring workflow: set it up once, and it just works.
Disposable Workflows: These are one-off, context-driven automations. You don’t need them every time, but when you do, you want them instantly. For example, after a meeting where several tasks were mentioned, I can ask Notis to extract those tasks from the latest transcript and create individual tasks in my Notion database. I could even ask Notis to draft follow-up emails to attendees, all in one go. This is a disposable workflow—instant, contextual, and powerful.
Real-World Example: Notis Powers Both
Let’s make it concrete:
Recurring: I use @meetgranola to record and transcribe every meeting, saving transcripts to my Notion Meeting Minutes database. Set-and-forget.
Disposable: After a meeting, I ask Notis to create tasks based on the last transcript. Notis queries my Notion database, finds the relevant meeting, extracts the tasks, and creates entries in my Notion Tasks database. Need to send a summary email? Notis can draft it for you, too.
Why Notis Is Unique: The Only True Notion AI Agent
Most platforms force you to choose: do you want recurring automations (like @getlindy) or disposable, on-demand workflows (like @AnthropicAI with MCP)? Notis is the only platform that supports both—giving you ultimate flexibility and the true power of Voice to Notion.
With Notis, any Notion database can become an AI agent. Here’s how:
How to Turn Any Notion Database Into an AI Agent
Create your Notion database with the fields you want your agent to use.
Add business logic as prompts in the description of the database and its fields. For example, "When a new entry is added, categorize by project and assign a due date."
Set up channels or recurring prompts—WhatsApp, Telegram, or schedule automations directly from Notis.
That’s it. Minimum setup, maximum automation.
Voice to Notion: Featured Use Cases
Notis isn’t just about meetings and tasks. Here’s how you can use Notis as your Notion AI agent, powered by Voice to Notion:
