Meeting Start Follow-Up Task
The meeting is starting. Notis creates a follow-up task entry in your Notion database. Now you can track any actions that come out while the meeting's fresh.
Trigger
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Meetings happen, things get discussed, but by the time you sit down to capture action items, you've moved on. Follow-ups get lost.
- Create follow-up task entries automatically when meetings start
- Capture action items while the meeting's happening
- Build a database of action items linked to meetings
- Reduce dropped follow-ups from lost context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Notion to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis 'Create a follow-up task in Notion when a meeting starts' or set this up in your portal.
- 3Select 'Event Starting Soon' as your trigger and set it to 0 minutes (fires right at start time).
- 4Choose your Notion tasks database and specify the default fields (assigned to, due date, etc.).
- 5Test by creating a meeting and watching a follow-up task appear in Notion when it starts.
Questions about this workflow
Should follow-ups auto-close when the meeting ends?
Not automatically, but you can create a paired workflow: when the event ends, Notis can comment on the task or update its status.
What if I don't need a follow-up for every meeting?
Filter by meeting title or calendar. Tell Notis to only create tasks for meetings with 'project' in the title, or specific calendars.
Can I include meeting attendees in the follow-up task?
Yes. Tell Notis to tag attendees or add them to the task properties based on the calendar invite.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Calendar to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Calendar triggers
Notion actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP 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.
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
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.
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
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).
Calendar Event Changes
**SOON TO BE DEPRECATED** - Use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger) instead. Real-time webhook trigger for calendar event changes. Returns event metadata only. For full event data, use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger).
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.
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
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.
