Move approved card requests forward automatically
When a Notion request is updated to show it is ready, have Notis create a Brex card for the intended user.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Create Card
Create a new card and assign it to a user.
Why this helps
A card request can be approved in planning and then sit unfinished while someone switches to Brex to create it.
- Reduce repeated checking of request status.
- Move card setup closer to the approval moment.
- Keep the request's context available in Notion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Brex to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to create a Brex card when a Notion request is updated as approved.
- 3Select the Notion Page Properties Updated trigger for the requests database.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real approved request and review the resulting card.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation respond only to approved requests?
Describe the approved status condition in the prompt so Notis can interpret the Notion change.
Can it create a card for the requested teammate?
State the intended assignment in the prompt and verify it using a real test request.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Brex. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Brex actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Budget
Create a new budget for departments or projects.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Card
Create a new card and assign it to a user.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Department
Create a new department.
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.
Create Expense
Create a new expense.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Location
Create a new location.
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.
Create Job Title
Create a new job title.
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.
Create User
Create a new user in the brex account.
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.
Create Vendor Card
Create a new vendor card.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
