Reduce maintenance alert noise with a Notion handoff
Keep planned maintenance from generating distracting alerts by having Notis create Datadog downtime when the maintenance plan is ready.
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
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.
Why this helps
A planned maintenance window can be documented without anyone remembering to suppress the related alert noise in Datadog.
- Reduce avoidable alert interruptions during planned work.
- Tie a maintenance record to an operational action.
- Lower the chance of forgetting the monitoring handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Datadog to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create Datadog downtime for ready maintenance plans, or enter that as the portal automation prompt.
- 3Describe the ready state and maintenance context in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Select Page Properties Updated for the maintenance database and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one planned window and verify its downtime in Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Can this wait until the window is confirmed?
State the confirmation condition in the instruction so Notis acts only when the record is ready.
Should I verify created downtime?
Yes. Check the first result in Datadog to confirm the maintenance window is represented correctly.

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.
Create event
Creates a new event in datadog. events are useful for tracking deployments, outages, configuration changes, and other important occurrences.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Notion and Datadog, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
