Keep project context together as pages grow
When a project gains a new subpage, capture its purpose and next step in a Backendless map so important context stays easy to retrieve.
Trigger
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Action
Map Put
Tool to set or update key-value pairs in a hive map. use when you need to add or update multiple entries in a hive map.
Why this helps
New project notes can branch into pages that are hard to remember to revisit.
- Keep a quick index of new project notes.
- Make follow-up context easier to retrieve.
- Reduce the need to remember which subpage was added.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Backendless to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to index new project subpages.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to summarize each new subpage and store it in a Backendless Hive map under a stable page-based key.
- 4Select Page Added to Page for the chosen project page and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Add one test subpage and verify its snapshot appears in the map.
Questions about this workflow
Does it watch nested descendants too?
The trigger describes a new immediate child page under the selected parent page.
Can it preserve a useful link back?
Ask Notis to include the Notion page identity or URL in the stored snapshot when available.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Backendless. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Backendless actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Copy File
Tool to copy a file or directory within backendless file storage. use when duplicating files to a new location after verifying source and destination paths.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Directory
Tool to create a new directory at the specified path. use when you need to organize files under a new folder structure.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Backendless Hive
Tool to create a new hive. use when you need to provision a new hive resource before performing hive operations. example: create a hive named 'grocerystore'.
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 Backendless Timer
Tool to create a new timer with schedule and code. use when scheduling recurring or one-off tasks to run server-side logic after confirming parameters.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Delete Directory
Tool to delete a directory at the specified path in backendless file storage. use when you need to remove folders after confirming the path.
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 File
Tool to delete a file at the specified path in backendless file storage. use after confirming the file's relative path and filename.
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.
Delete Backendless Timer
Tool to delete a backendless timer by name. use when you need to remove a scheduled timer after confirming its name.
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.
Directory Listing
Tool to retrieve a listing of files and directories at a given path. use when browsing or filtering file storage directories.
