Keep Presentation Status in Sync with Notion
Each new slide updates your Notion presentation-tracker database, showing real-time progress without manual status updates.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
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
Tracking presentation progress manually in Notion while building slides in Google Slides feels redundant and breaks focus. This automation keeps both tools in sync effortlessly.
- Keep presentation progress visible in Notion automatically
- Update status and metrics without switching tools
- Reduce manual tracking overhead
- See real-time slide count and completion metrics
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Notion integrations via Notis
- 2Create automation: 'When a new slide is added, update the corresponding presentation row in my Notion database'
- 3Select or create your presentation-tracking database in Notion
- 4Choose 'Google Slides - New Slide Added' as the trigger
- 5Test by adding a slide and verifying the database row updates (e.g., slide count increments)
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which database row to update?
Notis matches the presentation name or your specified criteria to find the right Notion row. You can refine this in your setup instruction.
What fields get updated automatically?
By default, Notis updates slide count and last-modified date. You can add custom fields like 'status', 'percent complete', or 'next review date' in your automation.
Can I update multiple rows per slide?
Yes. Your automation instruction can target multiple databases or rows if needed, e.g., 'update both the presentation and the timeline database'.
Will this slow down my workflow?
No. Updates happen in the background after you add a slide, with no impact on your Google Slides experience.

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.
