Notis

Know Instantly if Content Already Lives in Your CMS

Add a new case study to your Notion database and Notis checks your CMS to make sure you're not creating a duplicate. One source of truth.

Trigger

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

Action

Get Content List

Tool to retrieve a list of content items by reference name. use when you need to fetch and page through content list data with optional filtering, sorting, and link expansions.

Why this helps

You create a new content item in Notion without realizing it already exists in your CMS, duplicating work and confusing your site visitors.

  • Spot existing content before recreating it
  • Eliminate duplicate entries
  • Faster content operations

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 11. Connect Notion and Agility cms to Notis.
  • 22. Ask Notis: 'When I add a new page to my Notion database, check the CMS content list and tell me if it already exists.'
  • 33. Choose your alert channel and specify the database to watch.
  • 44. Add a test item to Notion and review the duplicate check results.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis match items to check for duplicates?

It compares titles and content keywords. You can customize the matching logic (exact title, similar content, etc.).

What happens if a duplicate is found?

Notis sends you an alert with a link to the existing CMS content so you can reuse or update it instead of creating new.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Agility cms. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Agility cms actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Get Authors

Tool to retrieve all authors from an agility cms instance. use when you need the full list of authors for display or processing.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Get Categories

Tool to get all categories. use when you need to list every category in a given locale.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Get Content Item

Tool to fetch details of a content item by content id. use when you need item fields and metadata from agility cms.

ActionInstant

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

Get Content List

Tool to retrieve a list of content items by reference name. use when you need to fetch and page through content list data with optional filtering, sorting, and link expansions.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Get Content Models

Tool to retrieve content models and page modules. use when you need schema definitions to dynamically build content structures.

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

Get Logs

Tool to retrieve sync items (logs) from agility cms. use after initial full sync to fetch updates.

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

Get Page

Tool to retrieve details of a page, including metadata, content zones, and components. use after you know the page id to fetch.

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

Get Page Modules

Tool to retrieve all page modules defined in the agility instance. use when you need only modular definitions without content models.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Agility cms, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
