Get Subscribers to Email Instantly

Newsletter form submitted in Notion? Subscriber created in ActiveTrail within seconds and ready for your welcome email.

Trigger

Page Created

Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.

Action

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.

Why this helps

Form submissions logged in Notion sit there until you manually import them to ActiveTrail, causing delays in first email delivery and losing subscriber momentum.

  • New subscribers in ActiveTrail within seconds
  • Instant welcome email delivery
  • No manual import process needed

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and ActiveTrail to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a newsletter sign-up form is submitted and recorded in Notion, create the subscriber as a contact in ActiveTrail.'
  • 3Trigger on 'New Page' in your Forms database.
  • 4Set up notifications to monitor sign-ups and confirm imports.
  • 5Test with a real form submission to confirm the contact is created in ActiveTrail.

Questions about this workflow

Can I auto-add them to a specific mailing list?

Yes. Add to the automation: 'Create the subscriber and add them to the Newsletter mailing list.'

What if they're already a subscriber?

Notis checks by email. If they exist, it updates their record instead of creating a duplicate.

Can I send a confirmation email automatically?

Yes. Configure an ActiveTrail automation to send a double-opt-in or welcome email after they're created.

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.

TriggerInstant

Create a New Group

ActionInstant

New Comment

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant
