Review task settings after a research schema change
A changed Notion research schema can prompt Notis to fetch the saved task input for review.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get Task Input
Tool to retrieve the input configuration of a specific task. use when you need to inspect stored task input before execution or debugging.
Why this helps
Adding or renaming research fields can leave a collection setup out of sync, with no clear cue to check its stored settings.
- Make a structural research change prompt a configuration check.
- Bring task settings into view without searching through Apify manually.
- Reduce the chance that a changed research setup is overlooked.
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 ask Notis to review task input after a schema change.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to identify the relevant task and request its stored input.
- 4Select the Notion Data Source Schema Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a planned schema update and confirm the task input is retrieved.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically modify the task?
No. Get Task Input retrieves the stored configuration for review. Select Update Task Input if you want to change it.
What schema changes can trigger it?
The event covers column additions, removals, or renames on a Notion data source.

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.
