Pair a new Notion database with an Airtable table list

Starting a new database workflow? Retrieve the Airtable table names while the structure is still taking shape.

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

List Airtable Tables

Tool to list all airtable tables for a given base. use when you need to retrieve table names before interacting with a table.

Why this helps

A new database setup often involves repeated tool hopping just to understand what already exists elsewhere.

  • Get table names as a reference during database setup.
  • Reduce avoidable navigation between tools.
  • Make it easier to plan which existing Airtable structure is relevant.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Api labz to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to list Airtable tables when a database is created.
  • 3Select Database Created, choose where run reports go, and give one instruction identifying the Airtable base to inspect.
  • 4Test by creating a real Notion database and checking the returned list.

Questions about this workflow

Is this event for databases or data sources?

Database Created fires for the Notion database container. Data Source Created is a separate event.

Can the output help create Airtable records?

This action only lists table names. It does not create records.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Api labz actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Validate IBAN

Tool to validate international bank account numbers (ibans). use when you need to verify an iban's structure before processing transactions.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Integrate Deal

Tool to integrate a deal into api labz. use when you need to push a new or updated deal record into the system after preparing required fields.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

List Airtable Tables

Tool to list all airtable tables for a given base. use when you need to retrieve table names before interacting with a table.

ActionInstant

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

Trello AI Search Engine

Tool to search trello boards, lists, and cards using ai-driven queries. use when you need to quickly locate relevant trello cards, lists, or boards.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

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.
