Turn a location question into an air quality check

A comment asking about a city can prompt Notis to retrieve its current air quality reading.

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

Get Air Quality by City

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city. use when you have a valid city name and need current aqi and pollutant levels.

Why this helps

Questions buried in comments are easy to leave unanswered when following up means switching tools.

  • Turn a clear comment request into a focused lookup.
  • Keep the question and result in the same work context.
  • Reduce the chance of a small follow-up being forgotten.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Ambee to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to check air quality when a comment requests it.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction to identify a clearly named city in the new comment and summarize the current reading.
  • 4Choose the Notion Comment Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by adding a comment that asks for a reading for a specific city.

Questions about this workflow

Does the comment trigger need special access?

The supplied event requires the Notion integration to have the Read comments capability; an older connection may need reauthorization after enabling it.

Does the workflow reply to the comment?

The selected Ambee action retrieves air quality. The workflow described here reports the result through the selected Notis run-report channel.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

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.

Get Air Quality by City

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city. use after obtaining a valid city name when current aqi and pollutant levels are needed.

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 Air Quality by Country Code

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific country using a 3-letter iso code. use after acquiring the country code and when you want a national overview of air quality.

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.

Get Air Quality by Latitude and Longitude

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude. use when you need hyper-local air quality readings for given coordinates.
