Action

Duplicate page

Duplicates a notion page, including all its content, properties, and nested blocks, under a specified parent page or workspace.

Why this helps

Starting a new project means duplicating a template page in Notion, renaming it, and filling in details. This friction means you skip it and start disorganized.

  • Reduce friction to starting new projects, so you actually structure them
  • Eliminate manual duplication and renaming steps
  • Keep all projects organized from day one
  • Trigger actions from WhatsApp when you're away from your desk

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Notion integrations.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When I message Notis "new project" on WhatsApp, duplicate my project template page in Notion.'
  • 3Notis will watch for your trigger phrase and create a copy each time.
  • 4Choose the template page and set a naming convention (e.g., 'include today's date').
  • 5Test by sending the trigger message and check that a new page appears in Notion.

Questions about this workflow

Can I customize what happens when the page is duplicated?

Yes. Tell Notis to pre-fill certain fields (e.g., 'set the status to in-progress, add today's date, add my name') when duplicating.

Can I use different templates for different trigger phrases?

Absolutely. Set up multiple automations with different trigger messages (e.g., 'new-blog' duplicates a blog template, 'new-client' duplicates a client template).

Where does the duplicate appear in my Notion workspace?

You specify the location in the automation prompt (e.g., 'put it in the Projects database', 'file it under 2026 folder').

Message Status Updated

Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks

TriggerPolling

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.
