Add a reflection cue to new data sources

A new data source can create another place to track work. Get a brief prompt to pause and consider how it fits the workflow.

Trigger

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.

Action

Advice Generator

Tool to generate a random piece of advice. use when you need spontaneous guidance or motivation.

Why this helps

New tracking surfaces can add mental overhead unless their purpose is clear.

  • Prompt a brief check-in when a new data source appears.
  • Make organizational changes easier to notice and revisit.
  • Receive the cue in an existing automation report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Apiverve to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to watch for new Notion data sources.
  • 3Give one plain-language instruction to generate a spontaneous advice item and report it as a workflow reflection cue.
  • 4Pick the Notion Data Source Created trigger and a run-report channel.
  • 5Test by adding a data source to a test database.

Questions about this workflow

Can one template trigger several runs?

Yes. A template-based database creation can emit one data_source.created event per data source it instantiates.

Does this explain the new source's columns?

No. The chosen action returns spontaneous advice rather than analyzing the schema.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

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 Airport Info by ICAO Code

Tool to get airport information by icao code. use when you have a valid 4-letter icao code and need detailed airport information.

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

Air Quality

Tool to get air quality data for a city. use when you need current aqi, pollutant levels, and a health recommendation.

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

Find antonyms for a word

Tool to get antonyms for a word. use when you need opposite terms for text analysis.

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

App Store Scraper

Tool to fetch detailed app metadata from the app store. use when you have a valid app store app id and country code.
