Pair new service tracking with a Datadog dashboard
When your Notion service catalog gains a new structure, use the change as a cue to create a Datadog dashboard that keeps service signals visible.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create Dashboard
Create a dashboard in datadog. dashboards provide customizable visualizations for monitoring your infrastructure, applications, and business metrics in a unified view.
Why this helps
A new service can be carefully documented in Notion while its operational visibility is still missing in Datadog.
- Prompt observability setup as a service catalog evolves.
- Reduce delay between documenting and monitoring a service.
- Give owners a consistent place to review service signals.
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 create a Datadog dashboard when the service catalog schema changes.
- 3Write one instruction describing what kind of service change should lead to a dashboard and its intended purpose.
- 4Select Data Source Schema Updated for the service catalog and choose a reporting channel.
- 5Test by making one meaningful schema change and inspect the dashboard created in Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Will every schema edit create a dashboard?
Use the instruction to describe which structural changes warrant one, then test with a meaningful example.
Can I scope the schema trigger?
Yes. The Data Source Schema Updated trigger can be scoped to one data source.

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
