Revisit collected results when the question changes
Edit the research brief and have Notis retrieve items from the dataset you use for that investigation.
Trigger
Page Content Updated
Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is 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 page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).
Action
Get dataset items
Tool to retrieve items from a dataset. use when you need to fetch data from a specified dataset by pagination or filtering. only json format is fully supported.
Why this helps
Research results are easy to forget when the question changes and the dataset is in a different workspace.
- Bring an existing dataset back into attention when the brief changes.
- Reduce the steps needed to revisit collected evidence.
- Keep the latest research question close to its data review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Apify to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to retrieve results when a research brief changes.
- 3Describe in one instruction which Apify dataset to retrieve and what research context matters.
- 4Select the Notion Page Content Updated trigger and choose your reporting channel.
- 5Test with a real brief edit and confirm dataset items are retrieved.

Does this launch another Actor run?
No. The selected action retrieves items from a specified dataset. Choose a run action if you want to collect fresh data.
Can the action return any data format?
JSON is the fully supported format for retrieving dataset items.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Apify. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Apify actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Actor
Tool to create a new actor with specified configuration. use when you need to initialize a fresh actor programmatically before publishing or running it.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset. use when you need to initialize or retrieve a dataset by name.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Actor Task
Tool to create a new actor task with specified settings. use when you need to configure or schedule recurring actor runs programmatically.
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.
Create Task Webhook
Tool to create a webhook for an actor task. use when you need external notifications about task run events (e.g., completion or failure) in downstream systems.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Delete Actor
Tool to delete an actor permanently. use when you need to remove an actor by its id or username~actorname. confirm before calling.
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.
Delete Webhook
Tool to delete a webhook by its id. use when removing a webhook after confirming the webhook id.
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.
Get Actor Details
Tool to get details of a specific actor. use when you need actor metadata by id or username/actorname.
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 all webhooks
Tool to get a list of all webhooks created by the user. use when you need to enumerate webhooks before filtering or maintenance.
