Keep Workspace Changes from Breaking Your Focus
Not every workspace change needs an immediate response. Let the notification moment pass, then return when you choose.

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

Why this helps
Broad workspace activity can create a constant sense of needing to check what changed.
- Creates distance from real-time page activity.
- Encourages planned workspace reviews.
- Helps reduce notification-driven task switching.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Bench to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one instruction to pause briefly after a Notion page event related to benchmark work.
- 3Select the Notion All Page Events trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one representative page event.
Questions about this workflow
Is this scoped to benchmark pages automatically?
No. All Page Events is workspace-wide for pages accessible to the integration; describe the intended context in the prompt.
Does the pause filter the event?
No. The supplied action is Sleep; this workflow does not provide a separate filtering action.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
