Keep Your Notion Database Synced with Filtered Sheet Data
Apply a filter to your Google Sheet to show only the items that matter (e.g., 'high priority', 'this month', 'open tasks'). Notis watches that filtered view and updates your Notion database in real time when results change.
Trigger
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
Action
Update row database
Updates or archives an existing notion database row (page) using its `row id`, allowing modification of its icon, cover, and/or properties; ensure the target page is accessible and property details (names/ids and values) align with the database schema and specified formats.
Why this helps
Founders often maintain a master list in Google Sheets and filtered views for different contexts (sales this quarter, urgent tasks, features in backlog). Keeping Notion mirrors in sync requires manual work and leads to stale data.
- Filtered subsets of your data stay synchronized automatically
- No manual selection or copying of filtered items
- Your Notion database reflects only the relevant data
- Team sees current, context-specific information
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Notion integrations to Notis.
- 2Define a filter in your Google Sheet to show only the items you want to sync (e.g., priority = high).
- 3Create an automation: 'When items matching my [filter name] filter appear or change in Google Sheets, update my Notion database to reflect those matches.'
- 4Select the Google Sheets filtered-range trigger and specify your filter. Choose the Notion database to keep in sync.
- 5Add a test row to your Google Sheet that matches the filter and verify it updates in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if a row is removed from the filter?
Notis will detect that change and update the corresponding Notion row status, or remove it from the database if that's what you've configured.
Can the filter be dynamic (e.g., based on today's date)?
Yes, if your Google Sheet supports dynamic date formulas in the filter. Notis will re-evaluate the filter each poll.
How often does the sync happen?
Every 1-2 minutes when Notis polls Google Sheets for changes.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
Notion actions
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
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.
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
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.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
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.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
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).
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
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 Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet
Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.
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.
