Notion Databases Follow Your Jira Projects Automatically
Every new Jira project you create gets a matching Notion database, pre-configured and ready to track the same work alongside your Jira board.
Trigger
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Action
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.
Why this helps
You spin up a new Jira project, but forget to create the Notion database. Days later, you're working in Jira but have no centralized reference in Notion, forcing you to context-switch.
- Symmetrical workspaces: Notion and Jira structures mirror each other automatically.
- Less setup friction: new projects don't require manual Notion database creation.
- Scalable system: grow Jira projects without burdening your Notion workspace.
- Ready to link: new databases are pre-configured so you can connect related content immediately.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Notion to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Whenever a new Jira project is created, automatically create a matching Notion database with properties for issue title, status, assignee, and due date.'
- 3Select the trigger: 'New Project' (from your Jira workspace).
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Create a test Jira project and verify that a new Notion database appears within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
What properties should the Notion database have?
Tell Notis which properties matter. Common ones: Title, Status, Assignee, Due Date, Priority, Issue Type. Notis creates the database schema and matches it to your preferences.
Can I customize the database name?
Yes. You can ask Notis to name it based on the Jira project name, or use a custom naming scheme. For example: 'Name each database [Project Name] - Notion Hub.'
What if I forget to set this up and already have Notion databases?
No problem. Turn on the automation and it applies to new projects going forward. Existing databases stay unchanged unless you ask Notis to update them.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Notion actions
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
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 Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
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.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
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.
