Get Extractor Recommendations, Not Confusion

New document database? Notis shows your extractor options immediately. No research, no decision fatigue.

Trigger

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.

Action

List document data extractors

Tool to list document data extractors. Use when you need identifiers and names of all extractors in your AlgoDocs account.

Why this helps

You create a new document database in Notion but don't know which Algodocs extractor to use. You spend time researching, asking others, or just guessing wrong.

  • See all available extractors when setting up a new database
  • Remove decision fatigue about which processor to use
  • Get started processing documents immediately
  • Avoid choosing the wrong extractor and having to reconfigure

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Algodocs and Notion integrations to Notis
  • 2Create automation: 'Document Database Extractor Picker'
  • 3Set trigger to 'Database Created' in Notion
  • 4Instruct Notis: 'When a new document database is created, list all available Algodocs extractors and show which ones are best suited'
  • 5Test by creating a new document database and check the recommendations

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which extractors are suitable?

You tell Notis your document types (invoices, receipts, contracts, etc.) in setup. It matches extractors to your needs.

Can I add new extractors later?

Yes, Notis always lists the current extractors in Algodocs. New extractors appear in future recommendations.

List folders

Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve all folder IDs and their hierarchy. Must be called after obtaining an API key.

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

New Comment

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

Database Created

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

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

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.
