Look up terms as research pages are added
Capture research in the right place and get a definition lookup when a new subpage includes an unfamiliar word.
Trigger
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Action
Get Word Definition
Tool to get the definition of a word. use when you need to find the meaning of a specific word. e.g., "define the word apple."
Why this helps
Research notes can accumulate unexplained terms that create friction when you return later.
- Resolve terminology when a research page is created.
- Make notes easier to resume after a context switch.
- Avoid an extra browser search for a named word.
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 a research hub for new subpages.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to find a clearly named unfamiliar word and return its definition.
- 4Select the Notion Page Added to Page trigger for the research hub and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test by adding a subpage containing a clearly stated word to define.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Apiverve. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Apiverve actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Advice Generator
Tool to generate a random piece of advice. use when you need spontaneous guidance or motivation.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Age Calculator
Tool to calculate age from date of birth. use when you need a breakdown of years, months, weeks, and days from a given dob. example: "calculate age for dob=1990-01-01"
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Airline Info by Name
Tool to get airline info by name. use after obtaining the official airline name.
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 distance by IATA
Tool to get distance between two airports by their iata codes. use when you have valid airport iata codes and need the flight distance.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
Air Quality
Tool to get air quality data for a city. use when you need current aqi, pollutant levels, and a health recommendation.
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.
Find antonyms for a word
Tool to get antonyms for a word. use when you need opposite terms for text analysis.
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.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Notion and Apiverve, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
