Log Emails as Project Updates
Every important email about your project becomes a timestamped, searchable entry in Notion without you lifting a finger.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
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
Project details scatter across email threads, Slack, and your brain. When you need to find 'what did that client say about budget?', you're hunting through thousands of messages. Neurodivergent brains don't index information the way filing systems expect.
- All project-relevant emails are automatically logged in one place
- Search and recall project history without digging through email threads
- Structured format makes patterns and decisions visible at a glance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Notion integrations to Notis
- 2Create a Notion database for project emails with fields for sender, subject, date, and project name
- 3Set up a new automation: 'When a new email arrives, add it as a row in my project database'
- 4Select 'Agent mail: New Email' as the trigger and choose email notifications
- 5Send a sample email and verify it appears as a database entry
Questions about this workflow
How do I filter which emails go into the database?
Your automation prompt can specify filters. For example: 'Only log emails from clients and team members, skip auto-generated messages.'
Can I pre-fill certain fields like project name?
Yes. Tell Notis in the prompt: 'Extract the project name from the email subject line and auto-fill the project field.'

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.
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.
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.
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.
