Add a character reference check to a new Notion view

A new view can organize character work in a more useful way. If its context identifies a public character, Notis can fetch the details for your review.

Trigger

View Created

Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can 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

A newly organized view may need a reference check, but setup and research often get separated into different work sessions.

  • Use view creation as a cue to retrieve an available public character reference.
  • Keep a compact character lookup alongside the workflow you are organizing.

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 if the new view's available context identifies a relevant character ID.
  • 3Select View Created as the Notion trigger.
  • 4Choose a run-report channel and test with a new view whose context can identify a real public character ID.

Questions about this workflow

What view types can trigger this?

The event includes Notion views such as table, board, gallery, calendar, list, timeline, or gantt.

Will the view itself always provide a character ID?

No. The prompt should tell Notis to proceed only when a relevant public character ID is available from the event context.

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
