Create a project kickoff PDF from a new Notion subpage

Start a project with a clear, reusable kickoff pack built from the page where the work begins.

Trigger

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

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

Project launches can lose momentum while people gather goals, ownership, and next steps from separate places.

  • Prepare a kickoff document as the project page is created.
  • Gather project context into an easy-to-share starting point.
  • Reduce repeated kickoff preparation across client and internal projects.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and CraftMyPDF to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and tell Notis what your project kickoff PDF should include.
  • 3Choose Page Added to Page for the relevant parent page and select a run-report channel.
  • 4Test by adding one real project subpage and review the PDF.

Questions about this workflow

Does this watch all subpages in Notion?

The trigger is scoped to a specified parent page, so choose the parent where new projects are added.

Can the kickoff PDF include goals and next steps?

Describe the desired contents in the automation prompt so Notis can use the new page context.

Can the trigger be used for client projects too?

Yes, if those project pages are added under the selected parent page and the prompt describes the kickoff document.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

All Page Events

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

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.
