Start Crowdin projects from Notion localization intake
A new localization intake in Notion can trigger the project setup that often gets left for later.
Trigger
Page Created
Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.
Action
Create Crowdin Project
Tool to create a new project in crowdin. use before uploading source files to initialize translation workflows.
Why this helps
A project request can be ready in Notion but still wait for someone to initialize localization.
- Start project setup when intake arrives.
- Reduce manual copying from planning to localization.
- Give each accepted initiative a Crowdin home sooner.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Crowdin once using the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language to create Crowdin projects from new localization intake pages.
- 3Describe which intake pages qualify and how the project should be named in one instruction.
- 4Select the Notion Page Created trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real intake page and verify the new Crowdin project.
Questions about this workflow
Can I limit this to localization intake?
State the qualifying page type or signal in the prompt so Notis only handles relevant pages.
Will this also upload source files?
No. This workflow creates the project; source file uploads are a separate step.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Crowdin. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Crowdin actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Branch
Tool to create a new branch in a crowdin project. use when you need to isolate translations for a new feature or release.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add File
Tool to add a new file to a crowdin project. use after uploading the file to storage to place it under the specified project, branch, or directory.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Add Label
Tool to create a new label in a crowdin project. use when you need to tag resources with a custom identifier, such as 'sprint-5'.
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.
Create Crowdin Project
Tool to create a new project in crowdin. use before uploading source files to initialize translation workflows.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Add Webhook
Tool to create a new webhook in a crowdin project. use after confirming the project id and desired event triggers.
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.
Assign Label to Strings
Tool to assign the specified label to provided string ids in a project. use after creating the label or verifying string ids to categorize content.
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.
Delete Branch
Tool to delete a specific branch from a crowdin project. use when you need to remove an obsolete branch after it's fully merged.
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.
Delete Label
Tool to delete the label identified by the specified label id in a project. use when you need to remove outdated or incorrect labels. ensure no resources reference the label before deletion.
