Make a new work view easier to understand
When you organize work in a new Notion view, bring in the repository documentation map that helps explain the technical landscape.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.
Action
Read wiki structure
Get a list of documentation topics for a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
Why this helps
A newly organized view can make work visible without making the related system or documentation easier to understand.
- Pair a new way of organizing work with a technical starting point.
- Make repository documentation topics easier to discover.
- Reduce the effort required to orient yourself in a new project view.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Devin MCP to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Devin for the repository wiki structure that best matches the purpose and context of a newly created view.
- 4Select Notion's View Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating a real view with clear project context and reviewing the suggested documentation topics.
Questions about this workflow
Can Devin infer the repository from the view name alone?
Not always. Add the repository or project context to the view or instruction so the request has enough detail.
What does the wiki structure include?
It is a list of available documentation topics that can guide follow-up reading.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Devin MCP. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Devin MCP actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List available repos
List all repositories available to query with your Devin account. Only available in private mode (via devin.ai endpoints).
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Read wiki contents
View documentation about a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
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.

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