Auto-Archive Presentation Versions in Notion
Each significant slide update triggers a duplicate of the Notion presentation page, creating a version history you can reference or restore from.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
Action
Duplicate page
Duplicates a notion page, including all its content, properties, and nested blocks, under a specified parent page or workspace.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often lose track of what changed in a presentation or want to revert to an earlier version. Manual versioning is tedious and forgotten.
- Automatically archive presentation versions
- Never lose an earlier draft or design
- Track changes over time with timestamps
- Easily revert to previous versions if needed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both integrations through Notis
- 2Create automation: 'When a new slide is added to [presentation], duplicate its Notion version page to create a backup with a timestamp'
- 3Specify the Notion workspace and folder where versions should be saved
- 4Select 'Google Slides - New Slide Added' as the trigger
- 5Test by adding a slide and confirming a timestamped duplicate appears in your version archive folder
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a new duplicate every time I add a slide?
By default, yes. But you can refine your automation to duplicate only on significant changes, e.g., 'when major content is added' or 'every 5 slides'.
How do I distinguish versions from the originals?
Notis automatically adds timestamps to duplicates, e.g., 'Presentation - v2024-07-10 09:00'. You can customize the naming convention.
Will duplicates have the same structure as the original?
Yes. Duplicates include all content, properties, and nested blocks from the original page, creating a true snapshot.
Can I set a limit on how many versions to keep?
You can configure retention rules, e.g., 'keep the last 10 versions' or 'keep versions from the last 3 months'. Notis can archive or delete older versions automatically.

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