Daily Status Update Prompts
Status updates get skipped because they feel like admin work. Instead of asking people to write reports, Notis comments on Notion pages with a simple prompt each afternoon: 'What happened today? What's next? Any blockers?' This turns status into conversation.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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).
Why this helps
Getting status updates from yourself or a team requires follow-up, context-switching, and decision fatigue. Most people delay or skip it, leaving you without current visibility.
- Make status updates low-friction by prompting for them
- Enable async teams to report progress without meetings
- Build a searchable history of work progress
- Reduce email and Slack back-and-forth about status
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis: 'Every weekday at 4 PM, comment on my active task pages with a status prompt.'
- 3Write the prompt: 'Comment with: 'Daily update: What did you accomplish today? What are you working on tomorrow? Any blockers?' Keep it conversational, not corporate.'
- 4Select 'Daily Weekday Schedule (4 PM)' as the trigger and set your notification channel.
- 5Respond to the first prompt and watch how easy it becomes.
Questions about this workflow
Can I adjust the prompt language or timing?
Absolutely. Tell Notis your preferred time and exact prompt wording. Make it fit your team's tone.
Will this create comment clutter in Notion?
Responses become a thread on the page, so they're organized. You can also ask Notis to delete old prompt comments to keep pages clean.
Can I use this for team status updates, not just personal tracking?
Yes, tell Notis to comment on team task pages. Team members respond in the thread, creating an async standup.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Notion actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
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.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
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 Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
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.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
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).
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
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.
