Recheck the character reference after a record update
When a character record changes, a quick reference check can help you keep decisions grounded in the right public character details.
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
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
Property edits can change what a record is tracking, but a separate character lookup is easy to leave for later.
- Retrieve details when a scoped record's properties change.
- Use Notion's updated property information to limit the lookup to relevant changes in your prompt.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Chatfai to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one instruction to retrieve public character details when a relevant property on a character record changes.
- 3Select Page Properties Updated and scope it to the relevant data source, page, or parent page.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then update a test record that contains a real public character ID.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation distinguish which property changed?
The trigger payload includes updated property information. Tell Notis in the prompt to proceed only when the relevant property changed.
Does adding a database column trigger this event?
Adding a column can cause property update events for existing rows. Scope and prompt conditions can help keep the workflow focused.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
