Keep project language clear as work evolves
Let Notis check a flagged term in the project hub without sending you off to a separate search.
Trigger
Page Updated
Triggers when any block within a specified Notion page is updated.
Action
Get Word Definition V2
Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.
Why this helps
Project pages collect decisions and context, so an unchecked term can leave people uncertain about what the work means.
- Check language where project context is already collected.
- Reduce interruptions while coordinating work.
- Help teammates interpret evolving project notes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Dictionary api to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in a connected channel.
- 3Tell Notis in plain language to retrieve a definition when a block in the chosen project page includes a term explicitly flagged for lookup.
- 4Choose Page Updated and specify the project page as the trigger scope.
- 5Choose a channel for run reports and test by adding one marked term to the page.
Questions about this workflow
What does Page Updated watch?
It triggers when a block within a specified Notion page is updated.
Can the workflow define every word on the page?
A prompt can request that, but a deliberate marker helps keep lookups focused and useful.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Dictionary api. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Dictionary api actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Word Definition V2
Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
