Reference Datascope locations when creating a Notion database

A new database can mark the start of a tracking workflow. If it is for site work, Notis can retrieve Datascope locations and provide a directory reference in its report.

Trigger

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.

Action

Get All Locations

Tool to retrieve all locations configured in the DataScope system. Use when you need to access location data including addresses, coordinates, and company associations.

Why this helps

A new tracking structure can be created without a quick check of the locations the field workflow needs to cover.

  • Pair new tracking structures with a site directory check.
  • Reduce manual lookup during workspace setup.
  • Get a location reference through the channel you already use for reports.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Datascope to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to retrieve Datascope locations when a relevant Notion database is created.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction to explain which database context warrants a location summary.
  • 4Choose the Notion Database Created trigger and select a channel for reports.
  • 5Test by creating a real database for site-related work.

Questions about this workflow

Will every database creation run this?

The event fires when a database container is created. Describe the intended database context in your automation instruction.

Does this create a matching Datascope database?

No. The Datascope action retrieves configured locations for reference.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Datascope actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Create Location

Tool to create a new location in DataScope with geographic coordinates. Use when you need to register a physical location with name and code identifiers.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Get All Answers V2

Tool to retrieve last answers from Datascope forms (limit 200 per request). Use when you need to fetch form submissions with optional filtering by form, user, date range, or location. Supports pagination via offset parameter for retrieving additional batches.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Get All Answers With Metadata

Tool to retrieve all answers with metadata from the DataScope platform. Returns up to 600 form answers with form metadata, user information, timestamps, and GPS coordinates. Use when you need to fetch submission data with filtering options by form, user, date range, or location.

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

Get all list elements

Tool to retrieve all items from a specific metadata list in Datascope. Use when you need to fetch all elements belonging to a particular list type (products, locations, customers, etc.).

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Get All Locations

Tool to retrieve all locations configured in the DataScope system. Use when you need to access location data including addresses, coordinates, and company associations.

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

Get Last Tickets

Tool to retrieve the last 5 tickets (findings) from the DataScope system. Use when you need to view recent tickets or findings.

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

Get List Element

Tool to retrieve a specific element from a metadata list by type and ID. Use when you need to fetch detailed information about a specific list element such as locations, products, or other metadata objects.

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

Get Ticket Types

Tool to retrieve available ticket types (findings types) from the DataScope system. Use when you need to access the list of ticket type configurations.

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