Automatically monitor team activity when Notion page properties change
When someone updates a property in Notion (status, owner, priority), this workflow starts watching for related team activities. You see who's responding and staying engaged without asking for updates.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Activities Watch
Tool to start a notification channel to watch activities for a specified user and application. Use when needing to receive push notifications for user activity; call after OAuth credentials and webhook endpoint are set up.
Why this helps
Founders struggle to know if their team is actually moving on a task just because a status changed in Notion. Manual check-ins drain time and feel intrusive.
- Verify team engagement without sending check-in messages
- Spot stalled projects by watching activity drop
- Reduce context-switching by monitoring in one place
- Build trust through activity visibility instead of forced updates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Currents API to Notis (portal setup, one time).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a page property changes in Notion, watch for team activities.'
- 3Select Page Properties Updated trigger, optionally filter to specific properties like Status, and choose your channel.
- 4Update a page property in Notion and check that activity watching starts in your run log.
- 5The workflow automatically monitors activities for the specified duration after each property change.
Questions about this workflow
Which properties trigger the workflow?
By default, all property changes trigger monitoring. You can narrow it to specific properties like Status, Owner, or Priority in your plain-language prompt.
How long does it watch for activities?
You set the duration in your prompt (typically 1-24 hours). After that window, monitoring stops and you get a summary report.
Will team members know they're being monitored?
No, activity monitoring is passive. You're observing engagement patterns, not sending notifications. It's a founder-only insight tool.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Currents api. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Currents api actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List Latest News
Tool to retrieve the latest news articles from Currents News API. Use when you need a real-time feed of recent articles.
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.
Activities Watch
Tool to start a notification channel to watch activities for a specified user and application. Use when needing to receive push notifications for user activity; call after OAuth credentials and webhook endpoint are set up.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Entity Usage Reports
Tool to retrieve usage statistics for a specific Google Workspace entity. Use when you need to analyze entity usage on a particular date.
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.
List Users
Tool to list users in a Google Workspace domain. Note: - When the provided base_url points to Currents News API (api.currentsapi.services), this action will gracefully fall back to listing latest news articles to ensure a valid response, since the Currents News API does not expose a users endpoint. - When the base_url points to Google Admin Directory API, it will list users from the domain/customer specified.
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.
Get User Usage Report
Tool to retrieve the usage report for a specified user on a given date. Use after confirming the userKey and date. Use when detailed usage metrics are needed for auditing or monitoring.
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.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
