Add an image checkpoint to new database items

A new tracked item can prompt a look at image records and existing descriptions, so image review stays close to the work entering your process.

Trigger

New Page

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

Action

Get Images

Tool to retrieve a paginated list of images in your library, including their alt text and metadata. use when you need to browse or filter images programmatically after authentication.

Why this helps

Database intake is easier to manage when follow-up is visible, but image review often has no reliable checkpoint.

  • Attach an image review cue to a familiar intake event.
  • See existing alt text while new work is being triaged.
  • Help reduce forgotten accessibility follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Alttext.ai to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what it should do in plain language.
  • 3Ask Notis to retrieve Alttext.ai image records when a new Notion database item arrives and report current descriptions for review.
  • 4Select New Page for the relevant data source and choose a channel for reports.
  • 5Test with a real new item and check that the result supports your intake routine.

Questions about this workflow

Does this apply to any new workspace page?

New Page fires for a page added to a Notion database, and can be scoped to a data source.

Does it write back to the database?

No. The specified Alttext.ai action retrieves image records for review.

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

Search Images

Tool to search for images and their alt text. use after specifying search keywords to retrieve matching images.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Update Account

Tool to update account settings (e.g., webhook url, name). use after confirming current account details to modify settings.

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

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.
