Your Daily Priorities Live in Notion: Slack to Task Automation
Your team shares priorities in Slack. Notis reads the priorities and adds them to Notion so they're part of your official task list, not scattered in chat.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Daily standups and priority discussions happen in Slack but then vanish into the void. Neurodivergent founders risk missing priorities because the information lives in a temporary chat rather than a structured task system. By the time you review your actual to-do list in Notion, new priorities are forgotten.
- Your official Notion task list automatically reflects new priorities from Slack
- Reduce manual work of copying priorities from chat into task management
- Prevent priorities from falling through the cracks between apps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every morning when the team posts priorities in the planning channel, create a new task in my Notion priority database for each priority, including the person who suggested it and any context.'
- 3Select 'Channel Message Received' as your trigger and point to your daily planning channel.
- 4Point Notis to your Notion priority or task database.
- 5Test by posting a sample priority message and verify Notion tasks appear.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis parse multiple priorities from one message?
Your Notis prompt tells it the format. For example, if priorities are listed as bullet points, Notis will extract each one as a separate task. If they're numbered or use specific keywords, Notis adapts to that format.
Can Notis set priority levels or due dates automatically?
Yes. Tell Notis to look for urgency keywords ('ASAP,' 'by EOD,' 'critical') and set priority levels or due dates accordingly in Notion.
What if priorities change during the day?
Your automation runs whenever the trigger fires (each time a message is posted). Set up additional automations for priority updates, or ask Notis to only log messages during specific times.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Notion actions
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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).
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
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.
Reaction Removed Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
New Bot Message Received Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_RECEIVED` with `is_bot_message=true` instead. Triggered when a new bot message is posted to a Slack channel.
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.
