What are automations?

An Automations is an instruction that Notis will be ask to perform based on a trigger. Use them automating repetitive workflow.
Whenever Notis runs an Automation the context of the conversation at the time you set the prompt is automatically recalled, so Notis remembers what you were discussing.

​
Schedule automations

  • Schedule triggers will run your instruction at a regular interval.
  • They can be created or updated through Notis or via the portal.
Examples
“Every Friday at 5pm, sends me a summary of the task completed this week.”
“Can you list all my automation?”
“Delete my Friday summary automation.”

​
Webhook automations

  • Webhook triggers generate a unique URL that can be called by any automation platforms to trigger the instruction (e.g Zapier, Make or directly in Notion)
  • When the URL is called the instruction will run on your selected channel.
  • When the webhook is called with a POST request, the content of the request is passed to Notis along with your instructions
  • They can be created or updated through Notis or via the portal.
Notis enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and system stability:
  • Webhooks: 50 requests per day per webhook
  • Integration triggers: 50 requests per day per trigger
Plan your automations accordingly to stay within these limits.

Using webhook automations in Notion

Webhook automations are very convenient to run Notis directly from Notion. Once Notis has provided you with your automation’s webhook URL or you’ve used the Notis portal to obtain it, you can configure Notion to call it with the built-in automation tool.
  1. Open the database that should trigger the webhook and click the automations icon:

To learn more about how to setup Notion automations with with webhooks, check the Notion documentation. Webhooks are also compatible with any major automation platforms such as Zapier, Make and Pipedream.
Keep your webhooks URL strictly private, as they have full editing access to your workspace. Webhooks don’t return any information, so they can’t be used to read your Notion workspace. For this use case, you need to use the Notis API.
