One Reaction Cleans Your Workspace: Slack to Notion Archive
Someone reacts with a check mark in Slack to say 'this is done.' Notis instantly archives the matching Notion page. Your workspace stays organized without manual cleanup.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Why this helps
Notion workspaces become cluttered with completed items that don't get archived. Neurodivergent founders struggle with the cognitive load of maintaining a clean, organized workspace while juggling multiple projects. Clutter makes it harder to find active work and adds visual noise that increases overwhelm.
- Keep your Notion workspace clean without manual archiving work
- Reduce visual clutter that increases cognitive load
- Create a lightweight way to signal task completion via Slack reactions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When someone reacts to a Slack message with a check mark, find the matching Notion page and archive it.'
- 3Select 'Message Reaction Added' as your trigger and specify the check mark emoji.
- 4Point Notis to your Notion workspace so it knows where to archive pages.
- 5Test by reacting to a Slack message that corresponds to a Notion page and verify it gets archived.
Questions about this workflow
What if I don't want the page fully archived, just moved to a 'done' section?
Tell Notis to move the page instead of archiving it. It can update a 'Status' property or move the page to a 'Completed' folder instead of archiving.
How does Notis match Slack messages to Notion pages?
Your Notis prompt provides the matching logic. For example, 'if the Slack message mentions a project name or task ID, find the Notion page with the same name or ID.'
Can I undo an archive if someone reacted by mistake?
Yes. Notion archives are reversible. If needed, you can create a separate automation that unarchives pages when someone reacts with a different emoji.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Notion actions
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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 Reaction Added

Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Message Reaction Removed

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.
