Start a new policy data source with a useful reference
A new policy data source can cue a category lookup, making the initial documentation pass easier to begin.
Trigger
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.
Action
List All Categories
Tool to list all categories including internal categories. use when you need the complete set of filtering categories.
Why this helps
New tracking structures often launch without the reference material needed to fill them in consistently.
- Retrieve category context as policy tracking begins.
- Support a more complete first documentation pass.
- Make the new data source easier to populate with relevant context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and DNSFilter to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, request the DNSFilter category list when a policy data source is created.
- 4Choose the Notion Data Source Created trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real policy data source creation.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run when a database container is created?
This trigger is for a data source creation event. A database container uses a distinct trigger.
Does it populate the new data source?
No. It retrieves categories for reference; it does not write Notion rows.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Dnsfilter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Dnsfilter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create IP Address
Tool to create a new ip address in dnsfilter. use after confirming the target network id exists.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Application Category
Tool to get basic information of a specific application category. use when you need details for a given application category id.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Billing Information
Tool to retrieve basic billing information for an organization. use when you need to obtain billing details for reporting or automation tasks.
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 Category
Tool to get basic information of a specific category. use when you need to retrieve details for a category by its id.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get IP Address
Tool to get basic information of the specified ip address. use when you need to fetch metadata for a particular ip after authentication.
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.
List All Categories
Tool to list all categories including internal categories. use when you need the complete set of filtering categories.
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.
List All IP Addresses
Tool to list all user-associated ip addresses. use when you need a comprehensive list of all ip address entries in your organization.
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.
List All MAC Addresses
Tool to list all mac addresses with basic information. use when you need to retrieve all mac address entries in your organization.
