Receipt Scanning Doesn't Require Tool-Hopping
Flag a receipt for processing, see your scanner options immediately. Extract in seconds, not minutes.
Trigger
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.
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
Receipt needs to be scanned, but finding the right receipt extractor means context-switching out of Notion. Processing delays from friction, not work.
- Receipt extractors listed when you need them
- No context-switching to find the right tool
- Process receipts faster from start to finish
- One-click processing from Notion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algodocs and Notion to Notis
- 2Create automation: 'Receipt Scanner Options'
- 3Set trigger to 'Comment Created' on your expenses database
- 4Instruct Notis: 'When a comment on a receipt says "scan" or "process", list available receipt extractors'
- 5Test by commenting on a receipt and check for extractor options
Questions about this workflow
Do you need a receipt extractor?
If you're processing expense receipts, yes. Notis shows you what's available.
Can this auto-process without asking?
Yes, you can set it up to automatically extract using your preferred extractor instead of asking.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Algodocs. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Algodocs actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Current User
Tool to retrieve current user information. Use after authenticating with your API key to verify identity.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List document data extractors
Tool to list document data extractors. Use when you need identifiers and names of all extractors in your AlgoDocs account.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
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.
