Notion – Notis | Help Center

Query a Notion Database

Simply ask to query a database it has access to.

💡

Notis context manager will automatically query the database when it deems it appropriate, but you can always be more directive by specifically mentioning Notis to "query" a database.

Supported Filters

Checkbox, Date, Files, Formula, Multi-select, Number, People, Relation, Rich Text, Rollup, Select, Status, Timestamp, Unique ID

How does the Query Tool Works

Notis has a deep understanding of the structure of your databases and their properties.

We have trained a separate model to create queries from natural language that allows for much better performance than what you’d get from Notion MCP integrated with Claude, for example.

Example Prompts

“Show all tasks due next week in my Project database.”

“List all entries where Status is 'In Progress' and Priority is greater than 3.”

“Create all the tasks mentioned in my last meeting.”

Edit Notion Documents

Notis can read, create or edit Notion documents

Creating Notion Documents

Notis can edit most Notion properties and write the content of a page using Markdown formatting.

Editing Notion Documents

Notis can edit the properties and content of a page.

When it comes to editing the content of the page, Notis has two modes:

Replace: by default Notis will replace the entire content of a page when Notis is the author.

Append: by default Notis will append to the content of a page when Notis is not the author to avoid deleting unsupported blocks.

You can override this behavior by asking Notis:

"Can you replace the content of this document"

"Can you append at the end of this document"

Archive Notion Documents

Notis cannot delete documents but can archive them in your Notion trash.

"Can you delete that document, it's not where I wanted you to create it."

💡

Use Notion version history to restore content accidentally edited by Notis.

Reading Notion Documents

Notis can access the properties of documents on any pages within the shared databases.

💡

When asking for an edit or if you want to share specific context with Notis, you can simply share the link to the page with Notis.

Known Limitations

Notion Blocks Support

Notis only supports editing Notion pages in markdown format. Any blocks that don't have an equivalent in markdown are not supported. Unsupported blocks are ignored but might end up being deleted if Notis edits a page that contains them.

Notion Database Template

Database template entries are not supported by Notis as they are currently not exposed by the Notion API.

Edit Notion Databases

Creating Notion Databases

Notis can create a new database. You can ask Notis to add properties as part of creation, pick icons, and name the database.

The first time you ask Notis to create a new database, you'll be asked to share the Notion link to the page where you want the database to be added. Make sure you share a page Notis has access. This page will be saved in your user settings and used as the default location for any new database unless you instruct Notis otherwise.

Examples you can ask Notis:

"Create a database called Team Tasks with properties: Status (status), Due date (date), Priority (select) and People."

Editing Databases

Notis can also update an existing database's schema, including:

Title

Description: very useful for storing extra instructions for when Notis needs to write or query this database.

Properties: See bellow for the full list

Icon

Cover

Examples you can ask Notis:

"Add a Priority property as a select with Low, Medium, High."

"Create a one-way relation from Tasks to Projects."

"Rename 'Owner' to 'Assignee'."

"Can you add a property email to my personal CRM?"

Creating and Editing Databases Properties

Notis can add, rename, or remove properties of your Notion databases. Supported property types:

title

rich_text (text)

url

email

phone_number

file

number

date (single date or range)

select

multi_select

people

relation (one-way by default; ask for two-way if needed)

rollup

formula

checkbox

created_time

created_by

last_edited_time

last_edited_by

place

Working with Relations

Notis can create one-way or two-way relations between data sources.

One-way: Adds a relation on only the source data source. Best for simpler linking.

Two-way: Adds relation properties on both data sources. Ask for this explicitly.

Examples you can ask Notis:

"Link Tasks to Projects with a two-way relation."

"Add a one-way relation from Meetings to People."

Database Limitations

The Notion API has a few limitations that restrict what Notis can or cannot do.
