Auto-Create Asset Tracking Databases for Presentations
Each new presentation triggers creation of a dedicated Notion database to track all assets, images, sources, and references used in that deck.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Presentation assets scatter across folders and links. Neurodivergent founders lose track of which image came from where or which resource they used last time. This automation creates an organized repository.
- Automatically create asset databases for each presentation
- Organize images, links, and resources in one place
- Easily find and reuse assets across decks
- Reduce search time for presentation materials
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Notion integrations
- 2Create automation: 'When a new slide is added to [presentation], create a Notion database called [presentation] Assets to track resources'
- 3Specify the database properties (name, URL, type, usage, etc.)
- 4Select 'Google Slides - New Slide Added' as the trigger
- 5Test by adding a slide and verifying the asset database is created
Questions about this workflow
Will the automation create one database per presentation?
Yes. Each presentation can have its own asset database, or you can use a single shared assets database depending on your setup preference.
What properties should the asset database have?
Notis can set up properties like 'asset name', 'URL', 'asset type' (image/video/link), 'usage count', and 'creator'. Customize based on your needs.
Can I add assets manually to the auto-created database?
Absolutely. The automation creates the structure, but you and your team can manually add assets at any time.
Does this work for team presentations?
Yes. The database is created in your team's Notion workspace, so all collaborators can reference and add to the asset library.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Slides to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion actions
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
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.
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.
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.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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.
