Search Daffy nonprofits from a new giving subpage

Create a subpage for a new giving idea and have Notis search Daffy's nonprofit directory using the context you captured.

Trigger

Page Added to Page

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

Action

Search Non-Profits

Tool to search non-profit organizations by cause id and query text. use when you need to find nonprofits matching a search term or a specific cause.

Why this helps

Good giving ideas can lose momentum when looking up candidate organizations takes a separate block of time.

  • Turn a new giving idea into a concrete research step.
  • Use captured context to guide the nonprofit search.
  • Keep candidate review attached to the planning process.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Daffy to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one prompt asking Notis to search Daffy's nonprofits using the cause or query described in each new giving subpage and return matches for review.
  • 4Choose Page Added to Page for the relevant parent and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real subpage containing a clear cause or search phrase.

Questions about this workflow

Can it search without cause context?

It may return broad matches, so the prompt should have Notis ask for clarification when the subpage lacks useful search terms.

Will it donate to a result?

No. This workflow searches and returns candidates for review.

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.

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

Get Gifts

Tool to retrieve a list of gifts. use when you need to page or filter gifts.

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

Get Non-Profit by EIN

Tool to retrieve information about a non-profit organization by ein. use after confirming the correct nine-digit ein.

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

Get User Causes

Tool to retrieve a list of causes for a specified user. use after confirming the user id is valid.
