Start a new signature database with a document overview

When a signature database is created in Notion, Notis can retrieve the Boloforms document list to help you understand the existing account inventory as you set up tracking.

Trigger

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.

Action

Get Documents List

Tool to retrieve a list of documents associated with the account. use when you need to list all documents.

Why this helps

A new database can make a process feel organized while leaving the existing document inventory unreviewed.

  • Add a document overview to the start of signature tracking setup.
  • See the account inventory while planning how to organize work.
  • Reduce separate searches during database setup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Boloforms to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to retrieve Boloforms documents when a signature database is created.
  • 3Select Database Created and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test by creating one real database and reviewing the returned document list.

Questions about this workflow

Does this respond to a new data source inside an existing database?

No. Database Created is for a container creation event. The supplied brief distinguishes this from Data Source Created.

Can Notis populate the database with Boloforms documents?

The only supplied Boloforms action retrieves a list; database population is not included.

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.

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.
