Organize Content Across Systems Without Manual Setup
Add a new content type to your Notion calendar and ActiveTrail creates the category instantly. Your content taxonomy stays in sync.
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 Content Category
Tool to create a new content category in ActiveTrail account. Use when you need to add a new category for organizing campaigns and templates.
Why this helps
New content types defined in Notion never appear as categories in ActiveTrail, so your email archive and content library stay fragmented.
- Content categories stay synchronized
- No manual category management
- Cleaner email archive and reporting
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Notion workspace and ActiveTrail account to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new content type is added or updated in the Notion calendar, create or update the matching content category in ActiveTrail.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Page Properties Updated' on your Calendar database.
- 4Configure your notification preferences.
- 5Test by adding a new content type and confirming the category appears in ActiveTrail.
Questions about this workflow
What if the category name already exists in ActiveTrail?
Notis won't create a duplicate. It updates the existing category if needed.
Can I sync category descriptions from Notion?
Yes. Include a description field in Notion and Notis will map it to the ActiveTrail category.
Do I need to manually assign content to categories?
Yes, but once categories exist, assigning content is much faster in ActiveTrail.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to ActiveTrail. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
ActiveTrail actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Group Member
Tool to add a member to a group in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a contact to a specific group with their email and optional contact details.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Contact Growth
Tool to retrieve executive report on contact growth showing daily active and inactive contact growth. Use when you need to measure the increase in amount of contacts over a date range.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create or Update Group Member
Tool to create or update a member in a group. Use when you need to add a new contact to a specific group or update an existing member's details. The API will not return errors if the address is already in the group.
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.
Create a New Group
Tool to create a new group in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new group to organize and segment contacts.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Contact
Tool to create a new contact in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new contact to the system. Note: Newly created contacts won't be linked to any group, making email/SMS delivery impossible until assigned to a group. Either email or sms must be provided.
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.
Create Content Category
Tool to create a new content category in ActiveTrail account. Use when you need to add a new category for organizing campaigns and templates.
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.
Create New Mailing List
Tool to create a new mailing list in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new mailing list to organize and manage contacts.
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.
Create Order
Tool to create new orders in ActiveTrail commerce system. Use when you need to add order records with customer information, products, and transaction details. Accepts an array of order objects for batch creation.
