Choose a chatbot destination when you create a Notion knowledge database

Creating a new knowledge database is a good moment to see which Botsonic bots are available for its content.

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 All Bots

Tool to retrieve all bots associated with the account. use when you need to list existing bots after authentication.

Why this helps

New knowledge projects can start without a clear destination, leaving the publishing decision until later.

  • Make available bots visible at project setup.
  • Reduce the time spent searching for the right chatbot destination.
  • Give a new knowledge source a clearer next step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Botsonic to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to list available Botsonic bots when a knowledge database is created.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to retrieve the Botsonic bot list and include it in the run report for review.
  • 4Select Database Created, choose a run-report channel, and test by creating a real database.

Questions about this workflow

Will it run when I add a data source to an existing database?

Database Created fires for a database container's creation. Adding a data source to an existing database is a different event.

Does it create a Botsonic bot automatically?

No. The listed action retrieves the bots associated with the account for review.

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

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.

Get All Bots

Tool to retrieve all bots associated with the account. use when you need to list existing bots after authentication.

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 All Conversations

Tool to retrieve all conversations related to the bot. use after authentication when you need a paginated list of conversation threads for review or analytics.

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 All FAQs

Tool to retrieve all frequently asked questions associated with the bot. use after authenticating the bot and when you need to list or manage its faq entries.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Botsonic, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
