Weekly Priority Review
Every Friday afternoon, Notis creates a priority review task in your Notion database. This automated reminder keeps you from getting swept up in day-to-day work without stepping back to see the bigger picture.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
You get lost in daily tasks and forget to step back and prioritize. Friday arrives and you realize you didn't focus on what actually mattered. Your week felt chaotic because you reacted to everything instead of being intentional. You wish you had a structured way to review and reset weekly.
- Build a habit of intentional weekly review so you don't drift off track
- Create space to reflect on what mattered this week instead of reacting constantly
- Reduce overwhelm by carving out time to reset and plan for the next week
- Strengthen your ability to prioritize by making review a consistent practice
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Google Drive and Notion accounts to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'Every Friday at 4pm, create a task in my Notion Priorities database called Weekly Review - [date], with a description asking me to: 1) Summarize this week's wins and what went well, 2) List files or projects that need follow-up, 3) Identify the three priorities for next week.'
- 3Select 'Cron Schedule' as the trigger and specify Friday at 4pm.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by manually running the automation and confirming a review task appears in your Notion database.
Questions about this workflow
Can I change the review time to a different day or time?
Absolutely. Just modify your automation prompt to specify your preferred day and time, e.g., 'every Sunday evening at 6pm' or 'every Wednesday morning at 8am.'
Can I make the review task more detailed or customized?
Yes. Your prompt can include specific questions or prompts, e.g., 'ask me to review files in my Projects folder and list any client deadlines for next week.'
What if I skip a week and don't do the review?
Notis will still create the task next week. Uncompleted tasks will accumulate in your Notion database as a reminder. You can mark old ones as archived when you're ready.

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.
