Escalate Critical Tasks Immediately via Email
When a task is marked urgent or blocked, leadership and team leads get an instant email alert--no more buried blockers.
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.

Why this helps
Critical blockers get marked in Notion but no one knows to look. By the time someone finds out, a day has passed and the whole week derails.
- Critical blockers get immediate visibility
- Prevents days-long delays from missed flags
- Reduces need for status-check calls
- Keeps team aligned on what's urgent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Agent mail to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a task's priority or status is changed to urgent or blocked, send an email to the task owner, project lead, and anyone assigned with the task name, reason, and link.'
- 3Scope the trigger to your main task or project database.
- 4Pick a channel for run reports and test by marking a task as urgent.
Questions about this workflow
Who should get the escalation email?
Typically the task owner and any stakeholders. You define this in your prompt.
What if we use different status names (e.g., 'critical' instead of 'urgent')?
Tell Notis your exact status values and it adapts.
Can I set different recipients for different priorities?
Yes--include that logic in your plain-language prompt.

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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
