Update Notion by sending a message
Notis is a messaging-first AI assistant built around Notion. Send it a voice note from WhatsApp or Telegram and it creates the entry in the right database, fills the fields, and follows your existing structure. Ask it "what did I decide about the pricing page?" and it queries your databases directly rather than guessing from a text search.
Voice transcribed at 99% accuracy across 56 languages, then routed to the right database with the right properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect Notion to Slack? ▼
There's no native integration. To connect them, you will need a middleware tool like Make or n8n.
Is the connection between Notion and Slack secure? ▼
Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Notion security settings.
Is the sync one-way or two-way? ▼
This is typically a one-way sync: Notion → Slack. Changes in Slack do not sync back to Notion.
Will existing data in Notion sync to Slack? ▼
Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
Can I sync custom fields? ▼
Native integration is limited to standard fields. For custom field mapping, use an automation tool.
