Automatically Create Action Items from Discord Messages
'Someone in Discord mentions an action → It shows up in your Notion task database. No manual typing, no forgotten tasks.'
Trigger
New Discord Message Trigger
Polls a specific Discord channel for new messages.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Your team mentions things to do in Discord, but tracking happens in Notion. You manually rewrite tasks or forget them entirely.
- Every task mentioned in Discord becomes trackable
- Reduces manual data entry and cognitive load
- Builds an authoritative task list in Notion
- Team sees what's committed without duplicating effort
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Notion to Notis (one-time setup)
- 2Ask Notis: 'When someone posts a message in [channel] that mentions an action or task (e.g., starts with TODO, ACTION, or [TASK]), create a new item in my Notion Tasks database.' Or use Automations > New Automation.
- 3Specify the Discord channel where tasks are mentioned
- 4Select 'New Discord Message' as the trigger and choose your notification channel
- 5Post a test message like 'TODO: Review project scope' in Discord and verify it appears in Notion
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what's a task vs. a regular message?
You tell it. Customize your prompt: 'Only capture messages starting with TODO or [TASK]' or 'Any message that mentions a deadline.' Notis learns your task language.
Can the automation assign tasks to specific people?
Yes. If you mention names or use @tags in Discord, Notis can parse those and assign the task in Notion: 'If @john is mentioned, assign the task to John.' Or 'Use the message author as the owner.'
What if I want tasks from multiple channels?
You can create one automation per channel, or ask Notis to 'Watch all channels except #general and #random.' No extra setup needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Discord to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

New Discord Message Trigger
Polls a specific Discord channel for new messages.
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 Member Joined
Triggered when a new member joins a Discord server (guild) you manage.
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.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
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 Thread Created
Triggered when a new thread is created in a Discord channel within a monitored server.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Message Edited
Triggered when an existing message in a monitored Discord channel is edited.
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.
