Bring Beamer category context into release planning
Give each release planning session a clearer starting point by retrieving the relevant Beamer category details when a record is created.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Get Category
Tool to retrieve a specific category by its id. use when you need to load metadata for a category before filtering or grouping posts by that category.
Why this helps
Remembering category names and context across tools adds small but recurring decisions to release planning.
- Retrieve category metadata using release context.
- Keep category details available in the automation report.
- Reduce repeated navigation during announcement planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Beamer to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the relevant Beamer category for a new release record and retrieve its details.
- 4Choose the Notion New Page trigger scoped to the release database and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real release record that clearly names its category.
Questions about this workflow
Can this retrieve every Beamer category?
The action retrieves a specific category by its ID. The instruction needs enough context to identify the category to look up.
Does this assign the category to a post?
No. It retrieves category details and does not create or edit posts.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Beamer. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Beamer actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Count Posts
Tool to count existing posts. use when you need the number of posts matching specific filters.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Category
Tool to retrieve a specific category by its id. use when you need to load metadata for a category before filtering or grouping posts by that category.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Feed
Tool to retrieve the url for your standalone feed. use after embedding to fetch the feed link for embedding or sharing.
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.
Get Feeds
Tool to retrieve the url for your feed. use when you need to embed or access your standalone feed.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Feed URL
Tool to retrieve the url for your personalized feed. use after setting segmentation or language options to embed or redirect users.
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.
Get Notification
Tool to retrieve details of a specific notification by its unique notification id. use after obtaining the notification id to fetch its full details.
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.
Get Notifications
Tool to fetch unread notifications. use after providing user context to retrieve and mark notifications as read.
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.
Get Post Comments
Tool to retrieve comments for a specific post. use after identifying the post id to list its comments.
