Carry incident updates from Notion into Datadog
When an incident comment adds a useful update, let Notis put that context on the Datadog event timeline without asking someone to repeat it by hand.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create event
Creates a new event in datadog. events are useful for tracking deployments, outages, configuration changes, and other important occurrences.
Why this helps
Short incident updates can stay buried in page discussions, forcing responders to switch tools and reconstruct what changed.
- Make key incident updates easier to discover.
- Reduce context switching between discussion and monitoring.
- Preserve useful changes in the operational timeline.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Datadog to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to record relevant incident comments as Datadog events.
- 3Write one instruction describing which comments matter and the context to include.
- 4Choose Comment Created and scope it to the incident page if appropriate, then select a reporting channel.
- 5Test by adding a representative incident comment and checking Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Can I scope comments to one incident page?
Yes. The Comment Created trigger supports an optional page filter.
What permissions are needed for comments?
The Notion integration needs the Read comments capability. If it was authorized before that capability was enabled, reauthorize the connection.

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.
Create Dashboard
Create a dashboard in datadog. dashboards provide customizable visualizations for monitoring your infrastructure, applications, and business metrics in a unified view.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

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.
Create monitor
Creates a new datadog monitor to track metrics, logs, or other data sources with configurable alerting thresholds and notifications.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Create Webhook
Create a webhook in datadog. webhooks enable you to receive notifications from datadog monitors and alerts to external services and applications.
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.
Delete Dashboard
Delete a dashboard in datadog. permanently removes a dashboard from your organization. this action cannot be undone. use with caution.
