Automatically Document Spreadsheets Matching Your Criteria
If you've saved a search in Google Sheets (e.g., 'spreadsheets containing sales data'), Notis watches that search and creates a Notion page each time a new spreadsheet matches. Stay aware of relevant new data sources without manual discovery.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Search Match
Triggers when a new spreadsheet appears that matches a saved search. This trigger uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when spreadsheets matching the search criteria are newly created or become visible to the user.
Action
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Why this helps
Team members create many spreadsheets, but only some are relevant to specific roles or projects. Without automated discovery, important new resources get lost.
- Automatically discover spreadsheets matching your criteria
- Notion pages created for each new match
- Stay aware of relevant new data sources
- Reduce time spent searching for the right spreadsheet
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Create or identify a saved search in Google Sheets (e.g., 'Q3 sales data').
- 2Connect both integrations to Notis.
- 3Create an automation: 'When new spreadsheets match my saved search for [search name], create a Notion page documenting each match.'
- 4Select the Google Sheets spreadsheet-search trigger and specify your saved search.
- 5Choose your Notion parent page for new matches and test by creating a spreadsheet that would match your search criteria.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis perform the search?
Using snapshot-based diffing: Notis polls your saved search results and detects when new spreadsheets appear in the results.
Can I modify the search criteria later?
Yes, update your saved search in Google Sheets and Notis will use the new criteria on the next poll.
How often are search results checked?
Every 1-2 minutes during Notis polling.

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.
