Create a Beaconstac tag for a new Notion data source
Set up an organizing label when a new tracking source appears, so related QR work has a clear place to start.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create Tag
Tool to create a new tag for organizing qr codes and other objects. use when you need to categorize qr codes under a specific organization.
Why this helps
New processes often begin with a new tracking source, but the related asset organization is easy to leave until later.
- Creates a Beaconstac tag when a new data source is introduced.
- Gives related QR work a starting organizational label.
- Reduces the chance that setup is forgotten during process changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Beaconstac to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to create a Beaconstac tag when a new relevant data source appears.
- 3Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger and describe which sources matter.
- 4Choose where run reports should arrive and test with one real data source creation.
Questions about this workflow
Could one template create several data source events?
Yes. A template-based database creation may emit one event per data source, so account for that in the instruction and review runs.
Can I limit this to a particular teamspace?
The trigger fires workspace-wide and includes parent context. State which new sources are relevant in the plain-language instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Beaconstac. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Beaconstac actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Place
Tool to create a new place for location-based assets. use when you need to register a new physical place under an organization.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create QR Template
Tool to create a new qr code template. use when you need reusable design presets for qr codes.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Tag
Tool to create a new tag for organizing qr codes and other objects. use when you need to categorize qr codes under a specific organization.
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 User
Tool to create a new user. use when onboarding a new user under your organization (reseller plan and above).
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Delete QR Code
Tool to delete a qr code by its id. use when you need to remove an existing qr code after validation.
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 QR Code Template
Tool to delete a qr code template by its id. use when you need to permanently remove a qr code template that is no longer needed.
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 Tag
Tool to delete a tag by its id. use when you need to remove an existing tag after validation.
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.
List Bulk QR Code Collections
Tool to list bulk qr code collections. use when you need to filter, search, or order your bulk qr code collections.
