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.

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.

TriggerScheduled

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.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Create Dataset

Tool to create a new dataset. use when you need to initialize or retrieve a dataset by name.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

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.

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

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.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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

Delete Webhook

Tool to delete a webhook by its id. use when removing a webhook after confirming the webhook id.

ActionInstant

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

Get Actor Details

Tool to get details of a specific actor. use when you need actor metadata by id or username/actorname.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Apify, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
