Generate invoice PDFs from new Notion records

Keep billing paperwork moving from the place you already track client work and invoice details.

Trigger

New Page

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

Action

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.

Why this helps

Invoice preparation often involves the same administrative steps competing with paid client work and founder priorities.

  • Start invoice PDF generation when a new invoice record appears.
  • Reduce manual document preparation for routine billing.
  • Keep invoice details and document creation in one connected workflow.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and CraftMyPDF to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe in plain language how new invoice records should become PDFs.
  • 3Choose New Page for the invoice database and select where run reports should appear.
  • 4Test with one real invoice record and verify the resulting PDF details.

Questions about this workflow

Can the generated PDF include all invoice information?

Tell Notis what information to include in the plain-language prompt and verify the output against the Notion record.

Does this send the invoice to the client?

The selected CraftMyPDF action generates a PDF asynchronously. Sending requires a separate supported delivery step.

Can I use this for every new database row?

Select the New Page trigger for the invoice database and describe any relevant conditions in the instruction.

TriggerPolling

List PDF Templates

Tool to retrieve a paginated list of PDF templates. Use when you need to browse available templates before generating a PDF.

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

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.
