Move new-hire setup from Notion into Brex
When a new team member's onboarding record is added, have Notis create their Brex user account.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Create User
Create a new user in the brex account.
Why this helps
New-hire administration spans many small steps, and account setup can be lost among them.
- Reduce repeated onboarding steps.
- Keep account setup connected to the onboarding record.
- Help prevent finance access setup from slipping.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Brex to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation prompting Notis to create a Brex user for each eligible new-hire record in Notion.
- 3Select New Page for the onboarding database.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real onboarding record and confirm the user details.
Questions about this workflow
Can this be limited to new hires who are ready?
Describe the readiness condition in the prompt and use the intended onboarding database.
How do I know if user creation worked?
Review the run report and verify the new user in Brex after the test.

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.
