Start a New Bible Study Database with the Book List
Set up a study database and have the full book catalog ready as a reference.
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 All Books
Tool to retrieve a list of all books in the bible. use when you need a catalog of every biblical book.
Why this helps
A new database often brings setup overhead before you can focus on the work it supports.
- Make a complete book list available as your study structure begins.
- Cut down on the small lookup tasks that interrupt setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Api bible to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to retrieve all books from Api bible when a Notion database is created.
- 4Select the Database Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating a study database.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run when a database source is added later?
Database Created is for creation of the database container. Adding a data source uses a separate event.
Can it identify a study database?
Describe the intended database context in the plain-language instruction and review the run report.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Api bible. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Api bible actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get All Books
Tool to retrieve a list of all books in the bible. use when you need a catalog of every biblical book.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Bible by ID
Tool to retrieve details of a specific bible version by its id. use when you need full metadata after listing versions. example prompt: 'get metadata for bibleid de4e12af7f28f599-01'.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Section
Tool to retrieve detailed content for a single section by id. use after listing sections.
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.
Get Sections
Tool to retrieve a list of sections for a specific book in a bible version. use after obtaining the bible and book ids to view sectional breakdown.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Supported Bible Versions
Tool to retrieve supported bible versions. use when you need to list all available bible translations.
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.
Search Verses
Tool to search for verses containing a specified query within a version.
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.
