Scheduled Notion Database Updates
On your schedule, Notis queries Telegram for new activity and updates your Notion database rows with fresh data. Metrics, status, and metrics stay current without lifting a finger.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update row database
Updates or archives an existing notion database row (page) using its `row id`, allowing modification of its icon, cover, and/or properties; ensure the target page is accessible and property details (names/ids and values) align with the database schema and specified formats.
Why this helps
Notion dashboards go stale fast. Manual updates are tedious and easy to forget. Metrics should update themselves.
- Dashboards always reflect current state
- No manual status updates ever
- Stay informed without checking
- Historical trend data builds over time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Create a Notion database for metrics (e.g., Team Pulse, Weekly Stats).
- 2Connect Telegram and Notion to Notis.
- 3Create an automation with prompt: 'Every day at 5 PM, query my Telegram groups for new messages and update my metrics database row with today's date, message count, active members, and trending topics.'
- 4Select 'Cron trigger' and set for daily at 5 PM.
- 5On the first run, review the data and refine your prompt for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
Can I update different rows on different schedules?
Yes. Create multiple automations with different cron schedules and prompts. Each updates independently.
What if there's no new data that day?
Notis logs it anyway. Zeros and 'no activity' are data too, useful for trend spotting.
Can I use this for KPI tracking?
Absolutely. Define your KPIs in the Notion database and ask Notis to calculate them from Telegram activity each run.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Telegram to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Telegram triggers
Notion actions
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
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.
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
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.
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
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 Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Create comment

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.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
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.
