Give new workspace structures useful card context

When you create a new database, Notis can retrieve your Amcards cards to help you see whether mailing work belongs in the new setup.

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

Get Cards

This tool retrieves a list of all cards associated with the authenticated account. the action is completely independent and doesn't require any external resource ids or parameters beyond authentication. it allows users to monitor, track, and manage their cards.

Why this helps

A new database creates decisions about where work belongs, and related account context can be hard to recall later.

  • Surface current card inventory during workspace setup.
  • Support a quick decision about whether mailing work fits the new database.
  • Reduce the number of setup details you need to hold in mind.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Amcards to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create this automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to retrieve Amcards cards when a Notion database is created and report the list as setup context.
  • 4Choose Database Created, select the run-report channel, and test with one real database creation.

Questions about this workflow

Is this for a database container or a data source?

Database Created fires for the container creation event. Use Data Source Created when a new data source is added to an existing database.

Will this create a mailing workflow?

No. It retrieves cards and reports information to help you decide what to do.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Amcards actions

Recurring trigger

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

Webhook trigger

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

Get Contacts

This tool retrieves a list of contacts from amcards. it is used for managing contacts by providing details like limit, skip, and filters (e.g., last name, first name, email). the tool returns an array of contact objects containing fields such as id, first name, last name, email, created at, and updated at.

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

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.

TriggerPolling

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.
