Keep a frequently used table easy to understand

A regular table reference can save time when you return to the same analytics question after a busy week.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Table Schema

Get detailed schema information for a specific table including column definitions, types, keys, and optionally sample data. this is essential for ai agents to understand table structure before constructing queries.

Why this helps

Returning to analytics after interruptions often means spending time rediscovering table columns and keys.

  • Reduce repeated schema lookups.
  • Make returning to a data task less effortful.
  • Keep table details ready for recurring analysis.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ClickHouse to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
  • 3Write one instruction to retrieve detailed schema for the ClickHouse table used in your recurring analysis.
  • 4Select a weekly cron trigger and choose a channel for reports.
  • 5Test the run and confirm the returned table details match your needs.

Questions about this workflow

What details does the table schema include?

It can include column definitions, types, keys, and optionally sample data.

Can it cover a different table later?

Update the instruction to describe the table you want the recurring reference to cover.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to ClickHouse. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

ClickHouse actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Execute ClickHouse Query

Execute a sql query in clickhouse and return the results. this is the primary action for querying data from clickhouse databases.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Get Database Schema

Get comprehensive schema overview of an entire database including all tables and optionally their column definitions. essential for ai agents to understand the complete database structure in a single call.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Get Table Schema

Get detailed schema information for a specific table including column definitions, types, keys, and optionally sample data. this is essential for ai agents to understand table structure before constructing queries.

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

List ClickHouse Databases

List all databases in the clickhouse instance. useful for discovering available databases before querying tables.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

List ClickHouse Tables

List tables in clickhouse databases. returns information about tables including their engine, size, and row count.

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

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.
