New Notion databases automatically create matching Google Sheets
Build a database in Notion, and Notis creates a Google Sheet for it instantly. No duplicate setup work.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create a Google Sheet
Creates a new google spreadsheet in google drive using the provided title.
Why this helps
You build new Notion databases for various projects or teams, but you also need Google Sheets for reporting or sharing with non-Notion users. Setting up the sheet manually each time is tedious and you often forget.
- New databases have a Google Sheet counterpart created instantly
- No repetitive setup work every time you create a database
- Sheets are ready for reporting or team sharing immediately
- Reduces handoff friction when collaborating with non-Notion team members
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Database Sheet Mirror' with trigger 'Database Created' in Notion.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When I create a new database in Notion, create a new Google Sheet with the same name in my shared drive folder'.
- 4Specify a target Google Drive folder for new sheets.
- 5Test by creating a new database in Notion and confirm the Google Sheet appears automatically.
Questions about this workflow
Will the Google Sheet have the same structure as the Notion database?
You can ask Notis to replicate the column structure from Notion, or create a simpler summary sheet. Include your preference in the prompt.
What happens after the sheet is created?
That's up to you. You can set up a separate sync automation to keep the sheet updated with database rows, or just use it as a standalone reporting sheet.
Can I share the sheet automatically with specific people?
Not in this automation, but you can tell Notis to place the sheet in a shared folder that your team already has access to.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Google Sheets actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Add Sheet to Spreadsheet
Adds a new sheet (worksheet) to a spreadsheet. use this tool to create a new tab within an existing google sheet, optionally specifying its title, index, size, and other properties.
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.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
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.
Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a google spreadsheet; ensure the spreadsheet has at least one worksheet and any explicitly referenced sheet names in ranges exist.
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.
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
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.
Batch Update Values by Data Filter
Tool to update values in ranges matching data filters. use when you need to update specific data in a google sheet based on criteria rather than fixed cell ranges.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Clear Basic Filter
Tool to clear the basic filter from a sheet. use when you need to remove an existing basic filter from a specific sheet within a google spreadsheet.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Clear spreadsheet values
Clears cell content (preserving formatting and notes) from a specified a1 notation range in a google spreadsheet; the range must correspond to an existing sheet and cells.
