Start company research from a new technology source
When a new research source is created, gather the companies and site details connected to the technology it tracks.
Trigger
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.
Action
Lists API Get List With Meta
Tool to retrieve a list of websites using a specified technology, including metadata. use when you need detailed company and site information for sites using a particular technology.
Why this helps
Setting up a new place to organize research often adds another unfinished step before the research itself begins.
- Retrieve sites using a technology with company and site metadata.
- Give a new research source a useful starting point.
- Avoid manually building the first company list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and BuiltWith to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation through the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to identify the target technology for the new research source and retrieve the BuiltWith list with metadata.
- 4Pick the Notion Data Source Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real new data source whose parent research context names a technology.
Questions about this workflow
Why use the metadata list action?
It retrieves websites using a specified technology along with detailed company and site information.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Builtwith. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Builtwith actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Domain List File
Tool to create a txt or zip file from a list of domains. use when preparing a domain list for bulk or firehose lookups.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Datasets Lookup
Tool to access mass internet technology usage information from 2000 to today. use when you need historical technology usage trends for a domain.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Domain API Lookup
Tool to retrieve current and historical technology information of a website. use after confirming the domain to lookup.
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.
Financial API Lookup
Tool to fetch financial data for a domain. use when you need company financials for us or uk registered websites.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Free API Lookup
Tool to access last updated dates and counts for technology groups and categories for websites. use when you need a snapshot of technology usage timing for a domain.
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.
Lists API Get List With Meta
Tool to retrieve a list of websites using a specified technology, including metadata. use when you need detailed company and site information for sites using a particular technology.
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.
Lists API Get List
Tool to retrieve a list of websites using a specific technology. use when you want to find sites leveraging a particular tech.
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.
MCP API Lookup
Tool to query live web technologies for a root domain. use after confirming a valid domain name.
