Review available PDF templates when a Notion schema changes
When your database structure evolves, make it easier to revisit the templates available for your document workflow.
Trigger
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.
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
A new field or changed structure can leave the team unsure which existing PDF template still fits the workflow.
- Retrieve the current CraftMyPDF template list after a schema change.
- Prompt a timely review of which document templates suit the updated workflow.
- Reduce the chance of letting an old document process drift unnoticed.
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 the available PDF templates when the relevant data source schema changes.
- 3Choose Data Source Schema Updated and select where Notis should report results.
- 4Test by making a safe schema change and confirm the template list is retrieved.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create or modify a PDF template?
No. The selected action retrieves a paginated list of available CraftMyPDF templates for review.
When does the Notion trigger fire?
It fires when a data source column is added, removed, or renamed.
Can I restrict this to a particular data source?
Yes. Select the Data Source Schema Updated trigger and scope it to the relevant data source.

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.
