Add Notion Comments from External Webhooks
Whenever an external tool sends data via webhook, Notis adds a comment to your Notion page, keeping your team informed and searchable.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch comments
Fetches unresolved comments for a specified notion block or page id.
Why this helps
Important updates come from external tools, but they don't automatically appear in Notion. Your team misses notifications and information gets lost.
- Sync notifications and updates from external tools directly to Notion
- Keep your team informed without manual posting
- Build a searchable audit trail of all external events
- Reduce notification fatigue by centralizing alerts in Notion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Notion workspace to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a webhook receives data, add a comment to my Notion page with the details.'
- 3Notis provides a webhook URL to add to your external tool or backend.
- 4Specify the Notion page and the format for comments.
- 5Send a test webhook and verify the comment appears in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
Can comments include data from the webhook payload?
Yes. Notis extracts relevant fields from the webhook data and formats them into readable comments.
Can different webhooks add comments to different pages?
Yes. Specify routing rules (e.g., 'webhooks from system A go to page X, system B go to page Y').
Can I notify specific people when a comment is added?
Yes. Notis can mention or tag team members in comments to draw their attention.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Notion actions
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
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 Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
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.
Interactive Reply Received
Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.
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 Template Status Update
Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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).
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.
