Get useful guidance as a research tracker begins
A new research database is a good moment to check how others organize the topic. Search for practical guidance while the structure is still taking shape.
Trigger
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.
Action
Composio DuckDuckGo Search
The duckduckgosearch class utilizes the composio duckduckgo search api to perform searches, focusing on web information and details. it leverages the duckduckgo search engine via the composio duckduckgo search api to retrieve relevant web data based on the provided query.
Why this helps
Founders may spend time designing a tracker without checking for proven approaches or useful references.
- Find relevant guidance while a database is being formed.
- Reduce avoidable trial and error in research organization.
- Give new trackers a stronger starting point.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Composio search to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to search for setup guidance when a relevant data source is created.
- 3Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real data source creation and check that the search topic is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does it inspect all existing databases?
No. The trigger fires when a new data source is created.
Can templates create duplicate runs?
A template-based database creation can emit one event per data source, so describe in the prompt how to handle related events.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Composio search. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Composio search actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Composio DuckDuckGo Search
The duckduckgosearch class utilizes the composio duckduckgo search api to perform searches, focusing on web information and details. it leverages the duckduckgo search engine via the composio duckduckgo search api to retrieve relevant web data based on the provided query.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Composio Google Events Search
The eventsearch class enables scraping of google events search queries. it conducts an event search using the composio events search api, retrieving information on events such as concerts, festivals, and other activities based on the provided query.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Exa Answer
Get answers with citations using the exa api.
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.
Composio Similarlinks
Perform a search to find similar links and retrieve a list of relevant results. the search can optionally return contents.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Composio Finance Search
The financesearch class utilizes the composio finance search api to conduct financial searches, focusing on financial data and stock information. it leverages the google finance search engine via the composio finance search api to retrieve pertinent financial details based on the provided query.
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.
Composio Google Maps Search
The googlemapssearch class performs a location-specific search using the composio goolge maps search api. this class extends the functionality of the base action class to specifically target locations related to the given query. by utilizing the google maps search engine through the composio goolge maps search api, it fetches the most relevant location data based on the input query. the `googlemapssearch` class is particularly useful for applications that need to retrieve and display location information about a specific area. it leverages the powerful search capabilities of google's maps search engine, ensuring that the returned results are accurate and relevant.
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.
Composio Image Search
The imagesearch class performs an image search using the composio image search api, to target image data and information. it uses the google images search engine through the composio image search api to fetch relevant image information based on the input query.
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.
Composio News Search
The newssearch class performs a news-specific search using the composio news search api. this class extends the functionality of the base action class to specifically target news articles related to the given query. by utilizing the google news search engine through the composio news search api, it fetches the most relevant news articles based on the input query. the `newssearch` class is particularly useful for applications that need to retrieve and display the latest news articles about a specific topic. it leverages the powerful search capabilities of google's news search engine, ensuring that the returned results are current and relevant.
