Give new feature briefs an implementation reference

A new feature brief can trigger focused documentation research for the technology it names, giving the next planning step useful context.

Trigger

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

Action

Query-docs

Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.

Why this helps

Feature planning can stall while someone remembers to research a tool or API mentioned in the brief.

  • Attach research to feature planning early.
  • Keep the lookup aligned with the brief's stated goal.
  • Reduce the number of reminders needed to start technical discovery.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Context7 MCP once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the feature's named framework or package, resolve its Context7 library ID, and query docs for guidance relevant to the stated feature.
  • 4Choose the Notion New Page trigger for the feature brief data source and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one brief that names a library and a concrete capability.

Questions about this workflow

Will it research every library mentioned?

The instruction can request separate concise results for each distinct library relevant to the feature.

Can it include code examples?

Yes. Ask Notis to include relevant examples from Context7 when available.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Context7 MCP. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Recurring trigger

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

Webhook trigger

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

Resolve-library-id

Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns matching libraries. You MUST call this function before 'query-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. Selection Process: 1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for 2. Return the most relevant match based on: - Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized) - Description relevance to the query's intent - Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts) - Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative) - Benchmark Score: Quality indicator (100 is the highest score) Response Format: - Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section - Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen - If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one - If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best result you have.

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

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

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.

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.
