Clean up retired collections from an explicit Notion archive decision

Record a final archive decision in Notion and have Notis delete the matching Countdown collection when it is no longer running.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Action

Delete Collection

Tool to delete a collection and its configuration by ID. Use when you need to remove an existing, non-running collection.

Why this helps

Old collections can clutter operations and make it harder to find active research.

  • Remove a retired collection after an explicit archive decision.
  • Keep the active collection list easier to scan.
  • Connect cleanup to a durable decision recorded in Notion.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Countdown api to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally for this workflow.
  • 3State in one plain-language instruction the explicit retirement signal and the exact collection to delete.
  • 4Pick the Notion Page Properties Updated trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test the decision using a safe example.

Questions about this workflow

Can this delete a running collection?

The Countdown api action is for an existing, non-running collection.

What should the Notion prompt specify?

Make the retirement signal and collection identification unambiguous, then test with a safe example.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Countdown api actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Clear Collection Requests

Tool to clear all requests from a specified collection. Use when you need to remove all queued requests for an idle collection.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Create a new collection

Tool to create a new collection. Use when you need to batch and orchestrate multiple requests on a schedule.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Get Collection

Tool to retrieve details for a single collection by ID. Use when you need collection metadata and counts for a given collection ID.

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 Collections

Tool to list all collections for the authenticated account. Use when you need to retrieve paginated collections with filtering, sorting, and timing constraints.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Start Collection

Tool to start processing a collection's queued requests. Use after creating or pausing a collection to initiate its queued requests.

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

Update an existing collection

Tool to update an existing collection. Use when you need to modify collection settings before scheduling runs.

ActionInstant

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

eBay Autocomplete

Tool to fetch eBay autocomplete suggestions. Use when needing search-term-based suggestions from Countdown API.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Create Destination

Tool to create a destination. Use when you need to set up a new destination for results or notifications.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Countdown api, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
