Find CraftMyPDF templates for each new Notion data source
Give a newly created data source a quick look at the document templates available for the work it will support.
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
List PDF Templates
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of PDF templates. Use when you need to browse available templates before generating a PDF.
Why this helps
When a database template creates several data sources, the document implications can be easy to overlook during setup.
- Retrieve available templates as new data sources appear.
- Make it easier to evaluate document needs early.
- Surface template options without a separate manual lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and CraftMyPDF to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and ask Notis to retrieve available PDF templates when a data source is created.
- 3Choose Data Source Created and select a run-report channel.
- 4Test with one new data source and review the returned templates.
Questions about this workflow
Could one database setup trigger this more than once?
Yes. A template-based database creation can create multiple data sources and fire one event per data source.
Does the workflow generate documents?
No. It retrieves CraftMyPDF template options so they can be reviewed.
Can I scope it to one parent?
The event fires workspace-wide, and the event includes parent information for downstream interpretation.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Craftmypdf. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Craftmypdf actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Editor Session
Tool to create an embeddable editor session URL for a template. Use when you need to embed the PDF editor for a specific template.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create PDF Asynchronously
Tool to queue asynchronous PDF generation via webhook. Use when you need to generate a PDF in the background and receive the result via a webhook.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List PDF Templates
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of PDF templates. Use when you need to browse available templates before generating a PDF.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
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.
