Doc Reviews to Review Queue
When a collaborator comments on your Google Doc asking for a review (using keywords like 'please review', 'thoughts?', 'feedback needed'), Notis automatically creates a task in your Notion review queue. Reviews never get buried again.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
People ask for reviews in Google Docs comments but the requests get lost in threads. You forget to review documents or review them weeks late, after the requester moved on. People think you ignored them or don't care about their work. Your review queue is invisible.
- Catch every review request automatically so nothing gets missed
- Organize all reviews in one Notion queue instead of scattered across comment threads
- Reduce turnaround time by seeing review requests immediately instead of stumbling upon them
- Build accountability by showing people when their review request was logged
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Google Drive and Notion accounts to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a comment on my Google Docs contains review-related keywords (like "please review", "thoughts", "feedback", "check this"), create a task in my Notion Review Queue database with the document name, requester name, and the comment text.'
- 3Select 'Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by adding a comment with 'please review' to a Google Doc and confirming a task appears in your Notion queue.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis recognize review requests?
Notis uses keywords like 'review', 'feedback', 'thoughts', 'check', 'look at', and 'approve'. You can customize these in your automation prompt to match your team's language.
What if someone says 'please review' but they're just being casual?
This might create false positives. You can refine your prompt to be more strict, e.g., 'only create a task if the comment is directed at me by name and contains review keywords.'
Can I set priority levels for review tasks?
Yes. Your prompt can extract urgency clues, e.g., 'if the comment says urgent or ASAP, set the task priority to High.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Notion actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
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.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
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).
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
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.
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
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.
