Maintain Control Over Your Data
A team member creates a new Notion data source to track vendor data but never tells you. Weeks later you realize an unsanctioned data silo exists. Notis logs every data source creation to WhatsApp so you stay aware of what data lives where.
Trigger
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.
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
New data sources created without visibility; governance gaps and duplicate data.
- See every new data source created in your workspace
- Maintain compliance and governance standards
- Prevent unauthorized data silos
- Keep a clear inventory of data assets
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and 2chat.
- 2Create automation: 'When a new data source is created in Notion, send a WhatsApp message to my data governance lead with the source name, location in the workspace, and a link for review.'
- 3Select trigger: Data Source Created from Notion.
- 4Set notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a new data source in Notion and checking for the WhatsApp log.
Questions about this workflow
What's the difference between a database and a data source?
A database is a container; a data source is a table within it. This automation alerts you when new tables are added.
Can I exclude certain data sources from alerts?
Yes. Tell Notis to ignore system databases or template data sources if you only care about user-created data.
Who gets the WhatsApp alerts?
You specify who in the prompt. Typically a data lead, compliance officer, or workspace admin.

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.
