Turn quote requests in Notion comments into action
A quote request in a discussion can reach Ascora without interrupting your current work.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create Quotation
Tool to create a new quotation. use when submitting a customer quote request via the ascora api.
Why this helps
Action requests buried in comment threads are easy to forget once the conversation moves on.
- Give comment-based requests a practical next step.
- Reduce the need to monitor discussion threads for quoting work.
- Keep the handoff tied to the conversation where the request appeared.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Ascora to Notis once; ensure the Notion integration can read comments and is authorized for that capability.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to set it up.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to create an Ascora quotation only for comments that clearly request a quote and include sufficient context.
- 4Select the Notion Comment Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real quote-request comment and verify the created quotation.
Questions about this workflow
Does the Notion integration need special access?
Yes. Comment events require the Read comments capability; a connection authorized before it was enabled may need reauthorization.
Will every comment create a quotation?
Tell Notis to act only when a comment clearly requests a quote and provides enough information.

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.

New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Jobs
Tool to retrieve jobs. use when you need to filter and paginate job listings from ascora.
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.
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.
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.
