Give new Notion data sources a Databox home
Create a Databox data source when a new Notion data source is added to the workspace.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create Data Source
Tool to create a new data source in Databox. Use when you need to create a logical container for datasets within a Databox account. Requires accountId, title, and timezone parameters.
Why this helps
New tracking areas can arrive without a reporting destination, leaving their data out of regular reviews.
- Give new tracking areas a clear reporting destination.
- Reduce setup steps after expanding a Notion workspace.
- Make new data sources easier to bring into reporting.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Databox to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to create a Databox data source for a new Notion data source.
- 3Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real new Notion data source and verify the Databox source is created.
Questions about this workflow
Does this also create a dataset?
This workflow creates a Databox data source. Creating a dataset is a separate Databox action.
Can every new Notion source be included?
The trigger fires workspace-wide. Describe any intended criteria in the plain-language instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Databox. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Databox actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset in Databox data source. Use when you need to initialize a dataset with a title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Data Source
Tool to create a new data source in Databox. Use when you need to create a logical container for datasets within a Databox account. Requires accountId, title, and timezone parameters.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Delete Dataset
Tool to delete a dataset by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a dataset. This operation is irreversible.
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.
Delete Data Source
Tool to delete a data source by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a data source. This operation is irreversible and will delete all associated datasets.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Dataset Ingestion Status
Tool to check the status of a specific data ingestion for a dataset. Use when you need to verify whether a data ingestion was successful by providing the dataset ID and ingestion ID returned from the initial POST request.
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 Accounts
Tool to retrieve all Databox accounts accessible to the authenticated user. Use to identify account IDs required for subsequent API operations like data source creation.
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.
Push Data to Dataset (V1)
Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.
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.
