Prepare domain files for a new research database

Start a domain research database with a ready-to-use BuiltWith list file when you have a seed batch to investigate.

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 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.

Why this helps

The structure for research can be ready before the repetitive preparation of its domain list is done.

  • Create a TXT or ZIP file from a seed list of domains.
  • Prepare a new research batch for bulk or firehose lookups.
  • Avoid repeated list formatting work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and BuiltWith to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation from the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a BuiltWith domain list file when a new database has a clearly available seed list.
  • 4Choose the Notion Database Created trigger and a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with a new research database and a small, real seed list.

Questions about this workflow

Does creating an empty database make a useful file?

No. The prompt should ask Notis to proceed only when the database context includes a usable seed list of domains.

What is the file for?

The TXT or ZIP file can be used to prepare domains for bulk or firehose lookups.

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.
