Keep source group organization current as your schema evolves

When Notion's structure changes, prompt Notis to make a matching source group adjustment in Better Stack.

Trigger

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.

Action

Update Source Group

Tool to update an existing source group. use when you need to rename or reorder a source group.

Why this helps

Renamed or reorganized systems can leave log groups using outdated names that slow down incident investigation.

  • Make structural changes visible to your monitoring setup.
  • Reduce maintenance work after naming changes.
  • Keep a readable source group structure for future investigations.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Better Stack to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or describe it to Notis.
  • 3Use one prompt to explain which schema changes should lead to a Better Stack source group update.
  • 4Choose the Notion Data Source Schema Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a planned schema change and confirm the intended source group is updated.

Questions about this workflow

Does every column change need to trigger an update?

The prompt can tell Notis which kinds of schema changes matter. The trigger includes updated property details.

Does this create a new source group?

No. This workflow uses the update source group action for an existing group.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Better stack. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Better stack actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Create Escalation Policy

Tool to create a new escalation policy. use when defining how incidents should escalate across team members.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Create Heartbeat Group

Tool to create a new heartbeat group. use when you need to organize related heartbeat checks under a single, logical group. example prompt: "create a new heartbeat group named 'backend services'."

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Create Outgoing Webhook Integration

Tool to create a new outgoing webhook integration. use when you need to register an endpoint to receive event notifications from better stack.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Create Source Group

Tool to create a new source group. use when you have finalized the group name (and optional sort index) and need to organize related log sources under that group.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Delete Escalation Policy

Tool to delete an escalation policy by id. use when you need to permanently remove an existing escalation policy after confirming its id.

ActionInstant

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

Delete Source Group

Tool to delete a source group by id. use when you need to permanently remove an existing source group after confirming it is no longer needed.

ActionInstant

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

Get Heartbeat

Tool to get a single heartbeat by id. use when you need to fetch details of a specific heartbeat.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Get Heartbeat Availability

Tool to retrieve availability summary for a specific heartbeat. use when you need availability metrics for a heartbeat within an optional date range.
