Get Approvals Unstuck
Items marked 'Needs Approval' sit in Notion limbo because the approver doesn't know they're waiting. Notis watches status changes and pings approvers on WhatsApp with one click review, so bottlenecks clear instead of persist.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Create Contact
Tool to create a new contact in your 2chat account. use after gathering and verifying first name and at least one contact detail (email, phone, or address).
Why this helps
Approval workflow stalls silently; approver unaware an item exists.
- Notify approvers instantly, not through buried email
- Reduce approval time from days to hours
- Prevent dropped approvals derailing timelines
- Keep momentum on projects
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
- 2Create automation: 'When the Status property changes to Needs Approval on any item in my approvals database, create a contact for the assigned approver and send a WhatsApp message with the item name, description, and a link.'
- 3Select trigger: Page Properties Updated from Notion.
- 4Set run notifications.
- 5Test by changing a task status to 'Needs Approval' and verify the approver's WhatsApp message.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know who the approver is?
Check an 'Approver' field in the item, or specify roles (e.g., always message the finance lead for budget approvals).
Can I include context in the message?
Yes. Notis can pull budget, scope, risk level, or any Notion field into the WhatsApp message so approvers decide fast.
What if the same person gets too many approval pings?
Batch them: use a cron automation to send daily approval summaries instead of individual messages.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to 2chat. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
2chat actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Contact
Tool to create a new contact in your 2chat account. use after gathering and verifying first name and at least one contact detail (email, phone, or address).
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get API Usage Info
Tool to retrieve current api usage and account information. use when you need to monitor your remaining quotas before sending more requests.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List Contacts
Tool to list all contacts in your 2chat account. use when you need to retrieve your contact list after confirming your account connection.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
List Webhook Subscriptions
Tool to list all configured webhook subscriptions. use when you need to audit or review your active whatsapp webhook subscriptions.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Test API Key
Tool to validate your api key and retrieve account info. use when confirming credentials before performing other operations.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
