Automatically Update Notion When Members Join Discord
New member joins Discord → Notion welcome page updates instantly. No manual admin, no forgotten faces.
Trigger
New Member Joined
Triggered when a new member joins a Discord server (guild) you manage.
Action
Update block
Updates an existing notion block's textual content or type-specific properties (e.g., 'checked' status, 'color'), using its `block id` and the specified `block type`.
Why this helps
You manually add new team members to Notion records after they join Discord. It's repetitive, easy to miss, and breaks onboarding consistency.
- Onboarding stays consistent and complete
- No manual step to remember or skip
- You always know who joined and when
- Notion becomes the source of truth for membership
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Notion to Notis (portal setup, one-time)
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a new member joins our Discord server, update the Welcome page in Notion to include their name and join date.' Or use Automations > New Automation.
- 3Notis will ask which Notion page or block to update
- 4Select 'New Member Joined' as the trigger and choose your team channel for notifications
- 5Invite a test member or create a test account and verify the Notion page updates
Questions about this workflow
Does this work if members join via invite link or manually?
Yes. Notis detects any new member joining your Discord server, regardless of how they joined. The automation runs as soon as Discord confirms the join event.
Can I update multiple Notion pages or just one?
You can keep it simple—update one welcome tracker—or ask Notis to 'create a new page for each member' or 'update both the welcome list and the team roster.' Plain language tells Notis what to do.
What if a member is added but their name doesn't appear correctly in Notion?
Notis pulls the Discord username and display name automatically. If you want a different format, update your prompt: 'Include their join date and Discord tag' or 'Format as [Name] joined on [Date].'

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.
