Pair paperwork database changes with a document review
When your paperwork data source changes, Notis can retrieve the Boloforms document list to make the associated process review easier to begin.
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
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
Structural changes to a tracking database can create extra admin, and existing documents may be overlooked during the adjustment.
- Use a structural database change as a prompt for process review.
- Keep a document inventory close to tracking changes.
- Avoid adding another reminder to an already changing workflow.
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 the Boloforms document list when the paperwork data source schema changes.
- 3Select Data Source Schema Updated and scope it to the relevant data source; choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a planned schema change and confirm the list supports your review.
Questions about this workflow
Will this run for each existing row when I add a column?
The supplied trigger notes that adding a column also emits page property updates for existing rows. Use Data Source Schema Updated for a single structural-change signal.
Can it make schema changes in Boloforms?
No. The action retrieves a document list.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Boloforms. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Webhook trigger

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.
