Your Weekly Tasks Refresh on Schedule: Notion Automation
Every Monday, Notis automatically creates a new weekly task row in Notion with your recurring goals. No need to remember to create them yourself.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders forget to refresh weekly tasks, leading to stale to-do lists that don't reflect current priorities. Without structured weekly updates, momentum gets lost and work drifts from goals.
- Never forget to set up your weekly tasks because Notis does it automatically
- Keep your task list fresh and aligned with current priorities
- Create a searchable archive of weekly goals to track patterns and progress
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every Monday at 9am, create a new row in my weekly tasks database with today's date and remind me to add my weekly goals, then link to last week's completed tasks.'
- 3Select 'notis_cron' as your trigger kind and specify the schedule (e.g., 'every Monday').
- 4Point Notis to your weekly tasks database in Notion.
- 5Test by waiting for the scheduled time or manually trigger a test run to verify the task appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the schedule (e.g., every Friday instead of Monday)?
Yes. Tell Notis exactly when to run: 'every Monday at 9am,' 'every Friday afternoon,' 'every two weeks,' etc. Pick whatever works for your rhythm.
Can Notis pull in tasks from the previous week?
Absolutely. Your automation can ask Notis to 'look at last week's incomplete tasks and carry them over to this week's list' or 'copy completed tasks for a retrospective.'
What if I'm on vacation and don't want the reminder to fire?
Tell Notis to check a 'vacation mode' property in Notion. If it's enabled, the automation skips that week. Or manually pause the automation.

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.
