Notion Automation Workflow

A GitHub Actions workflow that automates recurring tasks in Notion. When tasks marked as "Done" have recurrence tags, it automatically schedules the next instance based on the tag pattern.

Overview

This automation runs daily via GitHub Actions to:

• Check for completed tasks with recurrence tags in your Notion database
• Create new instances of recurring tasks with updated due dates
• Optionally archive non-recurring completed tasks

Recurrence Tags

Add these tags to your Notion tasks to set up recurring schedules:

• rec-#m: Repeat every # months (e.g., rec-3m for every 3 months)
• rec-#w: Repeat every # weeks (e.g., rec-2w for every 2 weeks)
• rec-#d: Repeat every # days (e.g., rec-5d for every 5 days)
• rec-monthly-<weekday>: Repeat monthly on specific weekday (e.g., rec-monthly-fri)

Setup

1. Fork this repository

2. Set up your Notion workspace:

   • Create a Notion integration at https://www.notion.so/my-integrations
   • Copy your integration token
   • Share your database with the integration
   • Copy your database ID from its URL

3. Configure GitHub repository secrets:

   • Go to Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions
   • Add two secrets:
     • NOTION_API_TOKEN: Your Notion integration token
     • NOTION_DATABASE_ID: Your Notion database ID

4. Ensure your Notion database has these properties:

   • Status: Status property (for "Done" and "ToDo" states)
   • Tag: Multi-select property for recurrence tags
   • DoDate: Date property for due dates
   • Done: Checkbox property

The workflow will now run automatically:

• Every day at midnight (UTC)
• On every push to the main branch
