Check file support while setting up a new source
As a new data source comes online, check which inputs can produce its planned output so document tasks start with clearer options.
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
Get Supported Input Formats For Output
Tool to list all input formats that can convert to a specified output format. use after deciding the target output format.
Why this helps
A new workflow structure is harder to use when format requirements remain undecided.
- Check conversion options during setup.
- Reduce format guesswork in new workflows.
- Keep planning close to the source structure.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Convertapi to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what to do in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve Convertapi input formats supported for the output format recorded in the new data source context.
- 4Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a newly created data source that has a clear target output.
Questions about this workflow
What does this trigger detect?
It fires when a new Notion data source is created, including data sources instantiated from templates.
Does the action convert files?
No. It looks up supported input formats for a specified output format.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Convertapi. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Convertapi actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Async Convert
Tool to perform an asynchronous file conversion. use when converting large or long-running files to avoid client timeouts.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Async Job
Tool to delete a previously created asynchronous conversion job. use when the job is no longer required to free server resources.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Delete Uploaded File
Tool to delete a previously uploaded file. use when the file is no longer needed and should be removed from temporary storage.
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.
Get Supported Input Formats For Output
Tool to list all input formats that can convert to a specified output format. use after deciding the target output format.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Convert PDF to DOCX
Tool to convert pdf files to docx format. use when you need editable word documents from pdfs. provide pdf content or url and receive docx file metadata and download links.
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.
Convert PDF to JPG and Store
Tool to convert a pdf to jpg and store the result on the server. use when individual jpg pages are needed for further workflow steps.
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.
Upload File From URL
Tool to upload a file directly from a remote url. use when you need to import files hosted on a remote server without downloading locally.
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.
Upload File (Multipart)
Tool to upload a file via multipart/form-data. use when you need to store a file on convertapi's servers (up to 3 hours) and obtain a fileid for subsequent conversions.
