Create Apaleo unit groups from approved Notion plans
Keep a unit group plan in Notion and let a deliberate update prompt the next setup step in Apaleo.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Create a unit group
Use this call to create a new unit group.<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'unitgroups.create, setup.manage'.
Why this helps
Unit group setup can stall when approval notes and operational configuration live in different places.
- Move an approved plan into the next configuration step.
- Keep the approval context near the operational instruction.
- Get a run report that makes follow-up easier.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Apaleo to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis from a connected channel.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to create the Apaleo unit group when the relevant Notion plan is updated and approved; ask it to flag uncertain details.
- 4Select Page Properties Updated and scope the trigger to the relevant data source if useful.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one approved setup record.
Questions about this workflow
Can I make the automation respond only after approval?
Describe the approval condition in the prompt and scope the Notion trigger to the relevant data source. Review the test run to confirm behavior.
Does this edit an existing group?
No. This workflow uses the Apaleo action to create a unit group.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Apaleo. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Apaleo actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Archive a property
Use this endpoint to archive an existing live property this operation set the isarchived flag to true<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'properties.manage, setup.manage'.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Check if a property exists
Check if a property exists by id.<br>you need to be authorized (no particular scope required)
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Check if a unit attribute exists
Check if a unit attribute exists<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'unitattributes.read, setup.read, setup.manage'.
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.
Check if a unit exists
Check if a unit exists by id.<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'units.read, setup.read, setup.manage'.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Check if a unit group exists
Check if a unit group exists by id.<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'unitgroups.read, setup.read, setup.manage'.
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.
Clones a property
Use this call to clone a specific property. this operation creates a new property with inventory and rate plans from the specified property.<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'properties.create, setup.manage'.
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.
Create a unit
Use this call to create a new unit.<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'units.create, setup.manage'.
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.
Create a unit attribute
Use this call to create a new unit attribute.<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'unitattributes.create, setup.manage'.
