Start project tracking from a new Notion database
When a new database marks the start of a website project, let Notis set up its Bugherd home.
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
Create Project
Tool to create a new project. use when you need to initialize a project after gathering its name and url. example: "create a new project named 'my website' with url 'http://www.example.com'."
Why this helps
Setting up project tracking by hand adds another startup chore just when a new project is taking shape.
- Reduce project setup steps after a database is created.
- Create a clear place for website feedback and fixes.
- Keep project kickoff momentum without extra admin.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Bugherd to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create a Bugherd project for a new Notion database only when its details identify a website or client project.
- 4Pick Notion's Database Created trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real database whose project name and website address are available.
Questions about this workflow
Will a project be created for every database?
Tell Notis which new databases represent a website or client project and to skip other databases.
What details should be available?
Include the project name and website address in accessible Notion content or in the context available to Notis.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Bugherd. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Bugherd actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Guest to Project
Tool to add a guest (client) to a project. use when you want to add an existing client by id or invite a new client by email.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add Member to Project
Tool to add a member to a project in bugherd. use when you need to add an existing user to a specific project.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Attachment
Tool to add a new attachment to a task using an existing url. use when you have project and task ids and the external file url ready.
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 Column
Tool to create a new column in a project. use when you need to add a custom workflow column after identifying the project id.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Comment
Tool to add a new comment to a task. use when you need to record discussion or feedback on an existing task.
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 Project
Tool to create a new project. use when you need to initialize a project after gathering its name and url. example: "create a new project named 'my website' with url 'http://www.example.com'."
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 Task
Tool to add a new task in a project. use when you have the project id and full task details ready.
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 Webhook
Tool to create a new webhook for real-time event notifications. use when you need to configure a callback endpoint for task or comment events. example: "create a webhook for 'task create' events to be sent to 'https://example.com/webhook'."
