List GitHub repos when a new Notion database is created

A new project database is the perfect moment to know which repos you can actually touch. Notis fetches your accessible GitHub repositories through Cursor the instant the database appears.

Trigger

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.

Action

List GitHub Repositories

Tool to list GitHub repositories accessible to the authenticated user. Use when you need to retrieve all repositories the user has access to through their Cursor account.

Why this helps

You create a project space in Notion but have no quick view of which repositories are in play, so linking code to the project stalls before it starts.

  • Start a project with its repo list already in hand
  • No manual GitHub browsing to find what you can access
  • Connect code to a fresh project space faster
  • Fewer stalls at the beginning of new work

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Cursor to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a new Notion database is created, list the GitHub repositories I can access in Cursor and send them to me.'
  • 3Choose the Notion Database Created trigger and set the report channel.
  • 4Create a test database and confirm the repository list arrives.

Questions about this workflow

Does this fire for new data sources too?

No. This trigger is the container creation event. If you want data-source events, describe that instead and Notis uses the right trigger.

Which repos show up?

The repositories accessible to your authenticated Cursor account, returned by the List GitHub Repositories action.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Cursor actions

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Get Agent Conversation

Tool to retrieve the conversation history for a specific cloud agent. Use when you need to view the messages exchanged between the user and the agent. Returns error with status 404 if the agent is not found or access is denied.

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

Get API Key Info

Tool to retrieve API key information including the key name, creation date, and owner email. Use when you need to verify API key details or validate authentication.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

List Agents

Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all Cursor Cloud agents. Use when you need to view existing agents, their status, or iterate through agents with pagination.

ActionInstant

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

List Available Models

Tool to retrieve the list of available AI models in Cursor. Use when you need to discover which models are available for API requests.

ActionInstant

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

List GitHub Repositories

Tool to list GitHub repositories accessible to the authenticated user. Use when you need to retrieve all repositories the user has access to through their Cursor account.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

New Page

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

TriggerPolling

Page Added to Page

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