Streamline Deployments with Notion-Based Approvals
Mark a deployment as approved in Notion, and Notis immediately approves the waiting GitHub workflow. Deploy faster without context-switching to GitHub.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request
Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.
Why this helps
You've approved a deployment in your planning doc, but the GitHub workflow still waits for manual approval in a different tab. That context-switch is tiny but accumulates across a dozen daily decisions.
- Approve deployments once in Notion, action in GitHub instantly
- Keep your release process in your planning tool
- Never forget to approve a waiting workflow
- Deploy with fewer context-switches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and GitHub.
- 2Create or identify a Notion database where you track deployment approvals.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When I mark deployment approval in Notion, approve the matching GitHub workflow that's waiting.'
- 4Identify which GitHub workflows to target (production, staging, etc.).
- 5Test by marking one deployment as approved in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis link the Notion approval to the right GitHub workflow?
You provide a workflow name or ID in Notion, and Notis matches it to the GitHub workflow waiting approval.
What if multiple workflows are waiting?
Tell Notis how to choose: oldest first, highest priority, specific branch, etc.
Can I still approve workflows manually in GitHub?
Yes, this just automates the approval flow for cases you handle in Notion.

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

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
