External Webhook Trigger: Add Tasks from External Tools
Work comes from everywhere: customer feedback, Zapier workflows, custom scripts. Notis accepts webhooks and turns them into Notion tasks, collecting all work in one place.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
External tools create work (customer requests, marketing tasks, alerts) that need to go into Notion, but you have to copy them manually or miss them entirely.
- External work automatically flows into Notion without manual entry or context-switching
- Centralize work from multiple sources in one Notion database
- Eliminate dropped balls from external systems that don't integrate with Linear
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation and select 'Incoming Webhook' as your trigger.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When you receive a webhook, create a new task in my Notion database with the title and description from the webhook data.'
- 4Copy the webhook URL that Notis generates.
- 5Configure your external tool (Zapier, custom backend, etc.) to send POST requests to that URL when work needs to be added to Notion.
Questions about this workflow
What data can I send in the webhook?
Title, description, priority, assignee, due date, and custom fields. Notis maps incoming data to your Notion database fields.
Can I send different data types to different Notion databases?
Yes. Set up multiple automations with different webhook URLs, each pointing to its own Notion database.
Is the webhook URL secure?
The URL is unique to your automation. Notis recommends validating incoming requests by IP or adding authentication tokens if your external tool supports it.

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

Notion actions
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
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.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
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.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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).
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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.
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
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.
