Resolve character reference requests in Notion comments
A request in a comment does not have to become another loose follow-up. Notis can retrieve the referenced public character details and send you a concise answer.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get Public Character By ID
Tool to retrieve a public character by its id. use when you need to fetch details of a single public character by providing its unique id.
Why this helps
Reference questions buried in comments can go unanswered when they require leaving the discussion to search elsewhere.
- Surface the public character reference in response to a comment request.
- Reduce the chance that a small research request disappears in a busy discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Chatfai to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one instruction: when a comment asks for a character lookup and provides a public Chatfai ID, retrieve and summarize that character's details.
- 3Select the Notion Comment Created trigger; the Notion connection must have the Read comments capability enabled.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test by adding a comment with a real public character ID.
Questions about this workflow
What is required for comment events?
The Notion integration needs the Read comments capability. A connection authorized before the capability was enabled may need to be re-authorized.
Can this answer the comment directly?
The available Chatfai action retrieves public character details. Set the prompt to report the result in your chosen channel; it does not post a Notion reply.

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
