Gather image references for a new product idea
Capture an idea in Notion and get image search results for its visual subject without interrupting the planning session.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Google Images
Tool to fetch images from google search results. use when you need urls, titles, domains, and metadata for images matching a query.
Why this helps
Switching from idea capture to reference hunting can break focus before a concept has taken shape.
- Starts image exploration when a product idea is captured.
- Returns searchable reference links and result details.
- Makes it easier to review a concept before deeper design work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Autom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction asking Autom Google Images to search for the specific visual subject in each new product idea page and summarize the result links and details.
- 4Select the Notion New Page trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real idea page that names a visual concept.
Questions about this workflow
What makes a good idea page for this?
A short, specific visual subject gives Autom a clearer image search query.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Autom. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Autom actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Google Countries
Tool to list google-supported countries. use when you need to filter or suggest countries based on a search string.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Google Images
Tool to fetch images from google search results. use when you need urls, titles, domains, and metadata for images matching a query.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Google Languages
Tool to retrieve google-supported languages. use when you need a list of language codes for localization.
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.
Google Locations
Tool to retrieve google-supported locations. use when searching for locations by name. returns locations ordered by reach (most populous first).
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
