Create retainer invoices from a ready Notion record

Keep recurring billing decisions in Notion and let Notis create the next Chaser invoice when the record says it is ready.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Action

Create Invoice

Tool to create a new invoice record in the organization. use after ensuring the customer exists in chaser.

Why this helps

Recurring billing can be easy to forget when each cycle requires a manual handoff to the invoice tool.

  • Make recurring billing easier to action at the right time.
  • Keep the billing decision and context in Notion.
  • Reduce repeated setup work across billing cycles.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Chaser to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3Tell Notis to create the next Chaser invoice when a Notion retainer record is intentionally marked ready for billing and the customer is confirmed.
  • 4Choose the Notion Page Properties Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one ready retainer record and review the invoice in Chaser.

Questions about this workflow

Will this create invoices on a timer?

This version responds to a Notion record changing to ready; use a scheduled Notis automation if your process needs a calendar-based trigger.

Can it create an invoice before the customer is confirmed?

The prompt should require a confirmed Chaser customer and report missing matches for review.

TriggerPolling

Get Customer by ID

Tool to retrieve details for a specific customer by their external (source system) id. use after obtaining the external id when you need specific customer information.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Get Customers

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Get Organization

Tool to retrieve information about the connected organizations. use when you need organization ids, currency, timezone, or legal details before other operations.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Create Credit Note

Tool to create a new credit note record in the organization. use after confirming invoice adjustments.

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.

TriggerInstant

Create Customer

Tool to create a new customer record in chaser. use after obtaining basic auth credentials.

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.

TriggerInstant

Update Customer

Tool to update an existing customer's information using their unique externalid. use after confirming the customer's externalid. e.g., "update contactemailaddress for externalid cust abc123."

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
