Keep monitor settings aligned with alert policy decisions

When your team updates an alert policy in Notion, have Notis carry the approved change into the existing Datadog monitor for review.

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

Update monitor

Updates an existing datadog monitor with new configuration, thresholds, or notification settings. only specified fields will be updated.

Why this helps

Alert decisions can be documented but never reach the live monitor, leaving the team to work from conflicting expectations.

  • Reduce drift between documented policy and monitoring.
  • Make approved alert changes easier to act on.
  • Lower the mental load of remembering a separate configuration task.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Datadog to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to update the relevant Datadog monitor when an alert policy is approved, or create an automation with this prompt.
  • 3Describe the approval condition and intended monitor update in one instruction.
  • 4Select Page Properties Updated for the alert policy data source and choose a reporting channel.
  • 5Test with one approved update and review the monitor configuration in Datadog.

Questions about this workflow

Can this update an existing monitor?

The Datadog action updates a monitor. Describe which existing monitor and approved change the automation should handle.

Should updates be reviewed?

Review the first update in Datadog to confirm that the instruction produces the intended configuration.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Datadog actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Create Dashboard

Create a dashboard in datadog. dashboards provide customizable visualizations for monitoring your infrastructure, applications, and business metrics in a unified view.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Create downtime

Creates a new downtime in datadog to suppress alerts during maintenance windows or planned outages. useful for preventing false alarms during deployments or maintenance.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Create event

Creates a new event in datadog. events are useful for tracking deployments, outages, configuration changes, and other important occurrences.

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

Create monitor

Creates a new datadog monitor to track metrics, logs, or other data sources with configurable alerting thresholds and notifications.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Create SLO

Create a service level objective (slo) in datadog. slos help you define and track reliability targets for your services, enabling data-driven decisions about service quality and reliability investments.

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

Create Synthetic API Test

Create a synthetic api test in datadog. creates a new synthetic api test that continuously monitors api endpoints from multiple locations worldwide. useful for proactive monitoring of api uptime, performance, and functionality.

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

Create Webhook

Create a webhook in datadog. webhooks enable you to receive notifications from datadog monitors and alerts to external services and applications.

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

Delete Dashboard

Delete a dashboard in datadog. permanently removes a dashboard from your organization. this action cannot be undone. use with caution.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Datadog, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
