Automatically Record Deleted Coda Documents in Notion
When you delete a Coda document, there should be a record. Notis adds an entry to your Notion archive, creating an audit trail that satisfies compliance needs and preserves the memory of past work.
Trigger
Coda Document Deleted Trigger
Triggers when a Coda document is deleted.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Deleted documents vanish without a trace. You lose the ability to recall why something was deleted, when it was deleted, or what it contained. This creates compliance risks and historical blindness.
- Complete deletion audit trail
- Compliance support
- Historical record preserved
- Easy to recover context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Notion to Notis and create an 'Archive' page in Notion
- 2Create an automation: 'When a Coda document is deleted, add a record to my Notion archive page with the document name and deletion date'
- 3Select 'Coda Document Deleted' as your trigger
- 4Test by deleting a test document and verifying the record appears in your Notion archive
Questions about this workflow
What information gets recorded?
By default: document name, deletion date, and Notis timestamp. You can ask for more: 'Also include the document owner and last modified date if available.'
Can I create a database instead of a page log?
Yes. Use this prompt: 'Create a database row in my Archive database with each deleted document.'
How far back does the archive go?
Only forward from setup. Notis starts logging from when you enable the automation.

New Coda Document Trigger
Triggers when a new Coda document is created.
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 Coda Page Trigger
Triggers when a new page is added to a Coda document.
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.
Specific Coda Page Updated Trigger
Triggers when a specific page within a Coda document is updated.
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.
