Catch changes to a source before relying on old notes
When a research note's body changes, analyze its referenced URL to see what type of page it currently resolves to.
Trigger
Page Content Updated
Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).
Action
Diffbot Analyze
Tool to automatically determine a page's content type and route it to the appropriate extraction api. use when you have only a url and need diffbot to choose the right extractor.
Why this helps
Edits to research notes can leave ambiguity about whether the link still supports the original point.
- Reassess the current page type after notes are updated.
- Notice possible source changes while the research context is active.
- Reduce the risk of revisiting a stale or repurposed link.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Diffbot to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the changed-source check in one plain-language prompt.
- 3Select the Notion Page Content Updated trigger for the relevant research pages.
- 4Choose the run-report channel and test by editing one note with a public URL.
- 5Review the analysis alongside the source page before changing your conclusions.
Questions about this workflow
Does this prove the source supports a claim?
No. Analyze identifies the page type; review the source content to assess whether it supports your notes.
Can the trigger be limited to a subset of pages?
The trigger can be scoped to one data source, one page, or one parent page.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Diffbot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Diffbot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Diffbot Search
Tool to search data extracted by crawl or bulk jobs using dql queries. use after data extraction jobs complete to retrieve search results.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Diffbot Account Details
Tool to retrieve account details, including plan information and usage statistics. use after authenticating to verify subscription and daily quota status.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Diffbot Analyze
Tool to automatically determine a page's content type and route it to the appropriate extraction api. use when you have only a url and need diffbot to choose the right extractor.
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.
Get Article Data
Tool to extract information from articles, including authors, publication dates, and images. use when you need structured metadata from a web article url.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Discussion Thread
Tool to extract threads of content from forums, comment sections, and review pages. use when you need structured discussion data from web pages after identifying the discussion url.
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.
Diffbot Get Event
Tool to extract event details from web pages. use when you need structured event data such as venue, date, and description.
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.
Diffbot Get Image
Tool to extract detailed information about images, including dimensions and recognition data. use after confirming the image url is publicly accessible.
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.
Diffbot Get Product
Tool to extract product information such as specifications, prices, availability, and reviews. use when you need structured product data including specs, pricing, and reviews.
