Resolve Beeminder questions from Notion comments

A comment can capture a question that is easy to lose. Bring relevant Beeminder account context into the follow-up.

Trigger

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.

Action

Get Beeminder User Information

Tool to retrieve information about a specified beeminder user. use when you need to fetch details like timezone, goals, urgency, or deleted goals after authenticating successfully.

Why this helps

Questions embedded in project discussions can be separated from the account details needed to resolve them.

  • Use the discussion as the starting point for a focused check.
  • Include account context in the run report for follow-up.
  • Reduce back-and-forth between planning and goal tracking.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Beeminder to Notis once in the portal, with Notion comment access enabled.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to retrieve Beeminder account information when a comment asks about account or goal status.
  • 4Choose the Notion comment-created trigger and a report channel, then test with a real comment that raises a relevant question.

Questions about this workflow

What does the account lookup return?

It retrieves available Beeminder user information, such as timezone, goals, urgency, or deleted goals.

Does the Notion integration need extra access?

Comment events require the Notion integration's Read comments capability. If it was enabled after authorization, reauthorize the connection.

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.

TriggerInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
