Link Notion to Drive with Automatic Shortcuts
Every new Notion page you create gets a matching shortcut in Google Drive, making it easy for your team to navigate between tools without duplicating content.
Trigger
Page Created
Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.
Action
Create Shortcut to File/Folder
Tool to create a shortcut to a file or folder in google drive. use when you need to link to an existing drive item from another location without duplicating it.
Why this helps
You want to link to Notion pages from Drive folders, but manually creating shortcuts is tedious, so links often don't exist.
- Simplify cross-tool navigation
- Avoid document duplication
- Reduce time spent searching
- Keep reference links organized
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Google Drive to Notis
- 2Create the automation: 'When I create a new page in Notion, create a shortcut to it in Google Drive'
- 3Select 'Page Created' as your trigger
- 4Specify the Drive folder where shortcuts should be created
- 5Notis will use the page name as the shortcut name
- 6Test by creating a new Notion page and verifying the shortcut appears in Drive
Questions about this workflow
Will teammates be able to open the shortcut if they don't have Notion access?
They'll see the shortcut and its link, but accessing Notion still requires Notion permissions.
Can I customize the shortcut names?
Yes. You can ask Notis to add prefixes, suffixes, or follow a specific naming pattern.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Google Drive. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Google Drive actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Add file sharing preference
Modifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'.
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.
Copy file
Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Comment
Tool to create a comment on a file. use when you need to add a new comment to a specific file in google drive.
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.
Create Shared Drive
Tool to create a new shared drive. use when you need to programmatically create a new shared drive for collaboration or storage.
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.
Create File or Folder
Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
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.
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Create Reply
Tool to create a reply to a comment in google drive. use when you need to respond to an existing comment on a file.
