Add transaction context to inventory questions
A comment asking about stock movement can prompt Notis to retrieve a high-level Boxhero transaction overview for the discussion.
Trigger
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.
Action
BoxHero - List Basic Transactions
Tool to list basic inventory transactions. Use when you need a high-level overview of in/out/move transactions.
Why this helps
A short inventory question can trigger a long back-and-forth when nobody has recent movement context at hand.
- Give stock discussions a useful starting point quickly.
- Reduce the follow-up needed to find recent in, out, or move activity.
- Keep attention on the question instead of switching between tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Boxhero to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis the inventory comment you want it to respond to.
- 3Use one instruction asking Notis to retrieve a high-level Boxhero transaction overview relevant to the commented inventory page.
- 4Select the Notion Comment Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding a real comment to an inventory page and checking the summary.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment start a run?
The trigger can be scoped to a page when configured; the plain-language instruction should also make clear which inventory comments are relevant.
Does Boxhero provide a high-level transaction view?
Yes. The selected action lists basic in, out, and move transactions.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Boxhero. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Boxhero actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Delete Item
Tool to delete a specific item (barcode) by its ID. Use when you need to remove an item from the inventory.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
BoxHero - Delete Location
Tool to delete a specific warehouse location by its ID. Use when you need to remove a location from the system.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Item
Tool to retrieve a specific item (barcode) by ID. Use when you need detailed information about a single item including its attributes, pricing, and inventory quantities.
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.
Get Item Attribute
Tool to retrieve a specific item attribute by ID. Use when you need to get detailed information about an item attribute specification.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Location
Tool to retrieve a specific location by ID. Use when you need detailed information about a particular warehouse location including its name, quantity, and notes.
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.
Get Member
Tool to retrieve a specific team member by ID. Use when you need to get details about a particular member.
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.
Get Linked Team Info
Tool to get information about the linked team and its mode. Use when you need to retrieve the currently linked team details.
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.
BoxHero - List Basic Transactions
