Add directory category context when you create planning views
A new Notion view often signals a fresh way of organizing work. Let Notis fetch the directory's data categories to support the related content-planning task.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.
Action
Get Data Categories
This tool fetches all data categories in a brilliant directories website. data categories are distinct from top categories and represent the various types of data organization within the system.
Why this helps
A new planning view can start useful work, but directory category research may remain a separate task without an obvious prompt.
- Attach category research to a new planning view.
- Reduce the need to remember a separate directory lookup.
- Support a more informed content organization workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Brilliant Directories to Notis once through the portal.
- 2In Automations, choose New Automation and name it for planning-view category research.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to retrieve Brilliant Directories data categories when a relevant Notion view is created and summarize them for the planning work.
- 4Select the Notion View Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Create one real planning view and confirm the category reference is relevant.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new view be relevant?
The trigger is workspace-wide, so describe in your prompt which planning views matter and what category context to return.
Does this create a view in Brilliant Directories?
No. The action retrieves existing data categories.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Brilliant directories. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Brilliant directories actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create User
This tool creates a new user record in the brilliant directories website database. it supports creating new users with essential details such as email, password, subscriptionid and optional parameters including name, company, contact details, and address information.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete User
This tool deletes an existing user record from the brilliant directories website database. it allows for the complete removal of a user record and, optionally, the deletion of the member's uploaded images.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Data Categories
This tool fetches all data categories in a brilliant directories website. data categories are distinct from top categories and represent the various types of data organization within the system.
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 Lead Fields
This tool retrieves all available fields in the leads table from a brilliant directories website. it returns a json object containing a list of fields and their associated metadata (field name, field type, field label, whether the field is required, and if it is a system field) that can be used to understand the structure and metadata of lead-related fields.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Reviews Fields
This tool retrieves all the available fields in the users reviews table from a brilliant directories website. it is a standalone tool that requires only authentication and provides a comprehensive list of review information such as review text, rating, timestamp, user identification fields, and any custom configured fields in the reviews system.
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 User Fields
This tool fetches all available fields from the users data table in your brilliant directories website. it provides a detailed list of available fields for user operations including creation, updating, and retrieval.
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.
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.
