Start a bot operations database with workspace context
Creating a bot operations database can trigger a workspace overview, giving you a practical reference before the tracking process grows.
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
LIST_WORKSPACES
Tool to retrieve a list of workspaces. use when you need to list and page through your botpress workspaces, optionally filtering by handle.
Why this helps
A new operations database may become another place to track work before anyone has gathered the basic workspace context.
- Gather workspace context as the tracking structure is created.
- Make it easier to orient future bot records.
- Avoid a separate manual workspace lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Botpress to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to list Botpress workspaces when the bot operations database is created.
- 3Select Database Created as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with one real database creation.
Questions about this workflow
Is this for a new database or a new data source?
Database Created fires when the database container is created. For a new data source inside an existing database, use Data Source Created.
Does it change the database?
No. It retrieves Botpress workspaces and reports them.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Botpress. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Botpress actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Delete File
Tool to delete a file by its id or key. use after confirming the file exists.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Account
Tool to get details of the authenticated account. use after confirming valid credentials.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
LIST_BOT_ISSUES
Tool to list issues associated with a specific bot. use when you need to discover errors or configuration problems tied to a bot, optionally paginating through results.
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.
LIST_CONVERSATIONS
Tool to list all conversations. use when you need to retrieve and page through chat threads.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
LIST_FILE_TAGS
Tool to list all tags used across all bot files. use when you need to retrieve or display file tag metadata; supports pagination via nexttoken.
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.
LIST_FILE_TAG_VALUES
Tool to list all values for a given file tag across all files. use after determining the tag name; supports pagination via nexttoken.
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.
LIST_PUBLIC_WORKSPACES
Tool to retrieve a list of public workspaces. use when browsing publicly available workspaces before selection.
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.
LIST_WORKSPACES
Tool to retrieve a list of workspaces. use when you need to list and page through your botpress workspaces, optionally filtering by handle.
