Start a new operations database with a node health check
Create an operations database and have Notis retrieve the Beaconchain node health status for your run report.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get Node Health
Tool to get the health status of the node. use when you need to check if the node is ready, syncing, or in an error state.
Why this helps
Setting up a new operations tracker can add follow-up tasks before the workflow is ready to use.
- Pair a new operations tracker with a live node health lookup.
- Surface readiness, syncing, or error state in your reporting channel.
- Reduce the setup details you need to carry in your head.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Beaconchain to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what node status you want when a database is created.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to retrieve Beaconchain node health after a Notion database creation and report the returned status.
- 4Select the Notion Database Created trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real operations database creation event.
Questions about this workflow
Does database creation mean a new data source was added?
This trigger is for creation of the Notion database container. Adding a data source to an existing database is a different event.
Can this check a particular validator?
This workflow checks node health. Use Get Validator for details about a specific validator.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Beaconchain. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Beaconchain actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Node Health
Tool to get the health status of the node. use when you need to check if the node is ready, syncing, or in an error state.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Validator
Tool to retrieve information for a specific validator from beaconcha.in api.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
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.
