Keep Datadog usage visible with a recurring check
Get a regular Datadog usage summary through Notis so reviewing infrastructure costs takes less hunting and fewer manual follow-ups.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get usage summary
Retrieves usage summary information from datadog including api calls, hosts, containers, and other billable usage metrics. useful for cost monitoring and usage analysis.
Why this helps
Usage changes can go unnoticed when the data is only checked after a billing question or cost spike appears.
- Make usage review a routine rather than a last-minute scramble.
- Spot usage changes earlier through regular summaries.
- Reduce context switching during cost checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog and Notion to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a recurring automation or ask Notis to send a Datadog usage summary on a schedule.
- 3Describe the usage context you want summarized in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Choose a monthly or other suitable recurring trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test one run and confirm the summary is useful for your review.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose the review frequency?

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.
